Cartoonists Conspiracy by Clay Jones

See you in Bethesda Read on Substack

22 years ago, at a convention for the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) (probably in Denver, Sacramento, Washington, DC, or Long Island, who can remember these things?), someone mentioned the president. It was 2003, so of course, the president was George W. Bush.

Someone at the bar (because these things are always in a bar) said, “If you think Shrub is dumb, wait until Donald Trump is president. Another cartoonist, probably someone named Steve, replied, “What? Are you out of your gourd? After this disaster of a presidency, there’s no way America would elect another idiot, especially one as vulgar and gross as Donald Trump.”

Then a cartoonist, probably named Matt, said, “But what if we elect a Black guy as president, and he’s decent, kind, accomplished, intelligent, with an equally intelligent wife, and they both have high morals and beautiful and smart daughters, the presidency is hugely successful?” And then a cartoonist named Dick says, “My God, you’re right, Matt!” Another Matt said, “What?” And Dick said, “Not you, Matt. The other Matt.” Other Matt says, “Huh?” Dick says, “Yes, you. You’re right. If we have a Black president and he’s a great success, Republicans and other racists will lose their minds!” (snip-MORE)

Cover Snark: Does Jane Austen Know About This?

Welcome back to Cover Snark!

Snippet:

Keeper by Hope Ford. A man in jeans is looking down at his crotch. He has a red zipper hoodie on that is zipped open. His chest has a set of wings by the sternum and pecs. His belly button has a biohazard symbol.

Carrie: He looks like he’s cold but can’t figure out how his zipper works

Sarah: Shirts! Shirts are a great choice!

Kiki: Wash your belly-button, bud.

That tattoo is reminding me of a radioactive symbol.

Sarah: I think it is?

No, it’s not I’m wrong.

Kiki: I thought it was too, so I have to assume his belly button has got some stuff going on.

Amanda: It’s a biohazard sign which I think might be worse.

Kiki: That’s it! Yeah, that’s absolutely worse.

Sarah: You don’t want your belly button to be a biohazard.

I remember when mine nearly turned inside out while I was pregnant. I looked like a torpedo, all out in front. But I wasn’t a biohazard. I was cute.

(MORE-it’s as hilarious as usual)

Godzilla Defends Its Recent Attacks on Cities

by Cezary Jan Strusiewicz

The radical urbanist media loves to throw around baseless accusations like “rampage.” “Godzilla rampages,” “cities destroyed in rampage,” and “world in the grip of rampagism.” The word has lost all meaning by this point. And it’s not even fair because the lawful, beautiful actions that I undertook around the globe against the likes of Tokyo or New York were anything but a rampage. It was a precise enforcement of the law meant to keep everyone safe.

I have nothing against cities. There are plenty of good, honest cities out there just trying to get on with their lives. I’ve known some really great cities in my time. But when a city shows up without papers, without proper authorization, just popping up out of the blue instead of doing things legally, the right way, I have no choice but to act swiftly and decisively. These are really bad ciudades we’re dealing with here. You see an innocent skyline; I see a potential security threat. Those towers can be signaling enemy kaiju. Those electric lights may be sending signals into space meant for alien invaders. You don’t know. I’m not willing to take that risk.

Critics always focus on the wrong things and don’t give you the full story, like how I “leveled all of Sydney.” Yes, I did. What you won’t hear is how the city was defiantly inviting lethal threats like a moth the size of a jumbo jet and a giant Marxist lobster (you can tell by its red color) by just existing out there in the open. If destroying the city is what it takes to protect my domain from future attacks and the disastrous open-border policy of my weak-on-crime predecessor, then you better believe that that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Because let’s not forget that, as King of the Monsters, all the oceans are within my jurisdiction, INCLUDING up to fifty miles inland from any shore. I have the right to stomp any downtown into dust, and it’s all legal. It’s not trespassing, it’s not chaos, and it’s definitely not a “rampage.” It’s affirming my sovereignty in the interest of national security to protect law-abiding cities. If you’re here legally, have all the proper paperwork, and have never harbored a three-headed alien dragon, your skyscrapers have nothing to worry about. (snip-a bit MORE)

Chloë Grace Moretz and Kate Harrison Got Married! See Their Non-Traditional Bridal Looks

The pair revealed their engagement earlier this year.

Moretz and her partner, Kate Harrison, were married in a private ceremony over the weekend, as they confirmed to Vogue. The magazine also published exclusive photos and videos of the couple’s final fittings. Rather than a traditional white gown, Moretz went with a pale blue number with elbow length opera gloves. “It just feels like me. It feels like an extension of what I would have always hoped for,” she told Vogue. The actor added that she “never really envisioned a wedding dress” in her mind, so when the time came to figure out her actual wedding look, she knew that she “wanted to do something non-traditional and not wear white and have it feel different.”

After the couple got engaged, Moretz told Vogue that she knew that she wanted to reach out to Nicolas Ghesquière, women’s creative director of Louis Vuitton, to ask if he would be interested in making her dress. He went a step further and made both Moretz and Harrison’s dresses, as well as their afterparty looks. Rather than going with another dress for the festivities, Moretz decided on a white cutout suit accessorized with a cowboy-esque hat. She explained to the magazine that the hat was partially inspired by the activities of the wedding itself — “fishing, horseback riding, and poker.” “Our second day is going to be line dancing and everything,” she added.

In an Instagram post, Moretz thanked Louis Vuitton and Ghesquière for the dress, writing, “Your generosity, artistry, dedication and kindness knows no bounds. We feel so incredibly grateful. Thank you doesn’t even begin to cut it, but, thank you. Your vision made our day all the more meaningful.”

Moretz casually came out as a “gay woman” in November 2024 via Instagram, when she shared that she had voted for Kamala Harris in the presidential election. But even before formally coming out, she’s been seen with Harrison for years, including in a 2023 Instagram post of the two of them at the New York City Dyke March. Per Cosmopolitan, the two have seemingly been linked since 2018, but they’ve kept their relationship very private. Still, we’re glad that we at least get a glimpse into what was surely a stunning wedding. Congrats to the newlyweds!
