Enemy of the County!
Folks, I may not be long for this world. Any moment now, the IDF may launch a Hellfire missile through my studio window… that is, if I don’t “accidentally” jump off a roof while a man who looks suspiciously like Anthony Blinken in a trench coat flees the scene. You see, I have become… an Enemy of the County!
As readers of my work know, there is only one group of people that I believe deserve to be genocided out of existence: mods. Forum moderators are the scum of the earth, and also, I believe, the secret rulers of America and the people who killed Kennedy. So when Israel began their onslaught against the Palestinian people last year, I naturally asked myself, “What can be the justification for this? It’s not like Hamas kicked Netanyahu off of Reddit for defending JK Rowling! THIS MUST NOT STAND!”
This, I began my activism to do my small part as an American to help end the Gaza Genocide, which ultimately led to my engagement with political activists in Rochester, NY who are trying to get our county government to take down the Israeli flag from in front of the County Office Building, where it flies proudly as a symbol of our local government’s support for mass murder.
However, placards and die-ins really aren’t my scene. I am a cartoonist, and my duty is to zing! So on the day after I participated with a coalition of local activists in asking the Monroe County Legislature to remove the Israeli flag, I wrote a statement articulating the demands of my coalition and supplemented it with the cartoon you see above, which portrays Monroe County Executive Adam Bello, the Democratic majority leader of the County Legislature Michael Yudelson, and local flag hag Meredith Dragon, the CEO of a Rochester-based Israeli pressure group who supplies the flags to the county.
And what did the powers-that-be do with my pungent cartoon, a piece of work not even worthy of the reject pile at MAD magazine? Did they send it to the shredder and get on with their regular business of declaring snow emergencies and such?
NO! Once they saw my cartoon, it was RED ALERT! Behold the press releases sent out yesterday representing the collective horror of the entire Monroe County government at seeing the County Executive portrayed in a dog collar!
Folks, my cartoon will not save any lives. As a matter of fact, Israel will probably step up their hospital bombings because of it. But proving through one crappy cartoon that you can provoke the entire apparatus of government to shit their pants in unison? That is democracy in action! I have never been prouder.
(By the way, if you are on Twitter please let Adam Bello, Michael Yudelson and Meredith Dragon know how hilarious you found my depictions of them. Don’t be mean–the cartoon has done that for you– but considering how thin-skinned they have all proven to be, they deserve to know that their efforts to intimidate their dissenters are flopping hard!)
They’re coming for you Bah-bera.
They’re coming for you…
O, yes. You making a picture is clearly on a level with shooting starving teenagers running towards free food.
Woo wee ! Ya sure turned their self esteem ( where do folks like them get self esteem ? The dollar store?) into smoking craters. Do us all proud. Rock on !
JY: I’ll turn your smile upside down like Aubrey Plaza! Droppin’ my bombs like nukes in Gaza! Brrrr stick ’em! Huh huh huh stick ’em!
YOU suck.
JY: Mom, I know it’s you.
MUCH better than being considered the coward of the county….
GREAT WORK! Keep it up!
JY: Grazi! I am just getting started! (Hey… what’s this red dot on my chest?)
Israel is fighting a war, not committing genocide, you pig.
JY: Didn’t Hitler prove that you can do both at once?
For one Oct. 7, IDF has butchered 33,000 Palestinian, mostly women & children.They perfected the job they have been conducting day in and day out for 70 plus years. Surely they earned the right to fly their flag everywhere.Palestinians must die! Long live Israel.
Let the hostages go. Israel did not go into Gaza and rape, murder, set fire, shoot bullets through the eyes of women as they were being raped, HAMAS did. Let the hostages GO! You need to learn your history and you need to hear the truth. You have no idea why this conflict is happening. You watch Fox news and think you have all the answers. LET the HOSTAGES GO! Tell HAMAS to allow food to get to the citizens rather than keeping in their tunnels for themselves. How can you even look at yourself in the mirror? Shame on you.
JY: I watch Fox News? Do you think I’m 80 years old?
The descriptions I hear from the uninformed of the torments Hamas supposedly imposed on women on October 7th are increasingly baroque. You should consider not getting your news from Rabbi Shmuley.
We’ve seen what happens when hostages escape from Hamas: Israel hunts them. We have seen what happens when food trucks try to feed the desperate: Israel bombs them. Perhaps Hamas is only the equal of the enemy they are fighting?
