Inflation is the biggest problem

Voters appear poised to hand at least one house of Congress to the evil insurrectionist party because inflation.

The way things are going, this just may be my very last cartoon to appear on Facebook. To find out why, continue reading below the cartoon.

Facebook’s sent me yet another warning that I’ve violated community standards. Seems they can’t or won’t differentiate between posts that support white supremacy and fascism, and satirical editorial cartoons that obviously mock and condemn white supremacy and fascism. It’s enough to make me wonder if their content moderators have got some Proud Boys among their ranks.

I’m not alone. Facebook just put award-winning editorial cartoonist Clay Jones in FB jail, and days later Instagram joined in, in response to a cartoon of his that was clearly condemning racism. The hashtags he chose, or the KKK imagery he used, may have been the culprit. But when editorial cartoonists are forbidden from using imagery that represents the target of our criticism, editorial cartooning can’t survive.

If FB boots me (and Clay, and every other left-leaning cartoonist) off their platform, you can find my work elsewhere. It’s at King Features’ website, here at Substack, and, if you want to support this work and see it the moment it’s drawn, it’s on Patreon.
