Latest comic: Machine out of control

Out of control

Woman drinking beer: It feels like there’s a weird robotic machine spinning out of control and no person or government is capable of fixing it.

It’s taking over everything, eating up precious land and water and spewing pollution like a rogue agent hell-bent on destruction.

If things keep going like this, there will be no humans left!

Woman 2: Yeah, the AI threat is pretty scary.

Woman 1: AI? I’m talking about our insane shareholder-first economy.

TV news announcer in background: stocks up again on deregulation… more drilling… next: record heat on the West Coast!

This week's comic on the pleasures of grocery shopping in 2026

Mr. Mrs. Perkins go grocery shopping 2026

Wasn’t that lettuce recalled for gut-exploding bacteria?

They said it might be OK in this state…

And look, it’s on sale!

Bags of lettuce from Grody farms 25% off

My, things have gotten expensive. Mr. P looks at Tariff Cheese priced $79 per pound

Looks like we can only afford the industrial poultry. Mrs. P looks at the Sad chicken section where

Thighs of Despair are offered at $3.99 per pound

This breakfast cereal used to be $4.50 for a large box. Now it’s $9 for this. Mr. P is holding a tiny box of Honey Chomps

This one is now priced by the flake. Mrs. P is holding a bag of cereal that costs 10¢ per wheat unit

Both look at hot dogs of dubious origin

Cheap

You’d never know the stock markets at an all-time high.

Yeah, it seems the supermarket has hit an all-time low.

I've been fuming about this since I read the TPM piece. Can't believe Klein legitimized that guy after he spread the "eating the cats and dogs" lie.

@jensorensen.bsky.social Oct 1, 2026, 5:00 PM

Fair point! I suspect they may become even more dubious with plans to import 660 million pounds of mystery meat. www.democracynow.org/2026/9/17/my...

This week's comic: The Big Picture

For millennia…

Barbarism prevails, might makes right

Dominant religious groups persecute “heretics”

Racial hierarchy entrenched

Gender hierarchy entrenched

Non-straight people ostracized

Finally in the second half of the 20th century
Woman: At last, a bit of fairness and equality!

And then…
Pompous guy: Here’s an outside-the-box idea! What if we tried traditional hierarchies?
