At the Co-op

on March 29, 2020 at 9:50 pm

Last week when everyone was rushing WalMart for toilet paper, someone told me they had it at the Co-op, we’ve got like 3 rolls to go at home, so I thought I’d check it out now & maybe get some bread & fruit, maybe some tinned fish. It’s more of a health food store than an actual market, like they do co-ops in California, anyway, they had no TP, no strawberries, the tinned fish was too expensive, but they did have this really nervous guy stocking the veggies. I brought my own bag so I wouldn’t have to use a cart, I know where the bag has been, but I get it (facepalm), not a good idea under the circumstances, but Jeez, it’s OK, really, you will probably survive me having come into the store.

Are we dead yet?

This is really hard; trying to write a comic about the horror of living in a world where That Piece of Shit is occupying the White House, as the real-life horror unfolds before our eyes.By the time I get this written & drawn, it will have turned out differently, & even worse. Hard times for satirists, although Stephen Colbert & Trevor Noah with their respective writing & graphics teams, are, or at least were up till now, whipping out excellent stuff. Also here’s an excellent essay in Slate magazine about how badly this guy is fucking the dog.

On Sunday we helped our friend the amazing Felicia Davis do a photo shoot for her Tarot deck. She’s doing the whole deck with live models. Here’s Sharon as the 10 of Wands.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Apocalypse

COVID-19; that sounds like Cobalt-60’s (see https://www.facebook.com/groups/5631868186/ the World of Vaughn Bode) nasty sidekick, or partner, or enemy or something.

I’m 71 years old, it’s coming for us. I was doing social distancing before it was cool. The introverts will survive.

We’re pretty healthy, neither of us is taking any medication for any chronic condition, we eat well, not much meat, hardly any of the red stuff, fruit smoothies every morning, lots of broccoli, we’re somewhat active, I do a 10 mile bike ride or a 2 mile walk 3 or 4 times a week, we were doing swimming some mornings, now the pool is closed though, & out here in New Mexico everything is spread out in the wide open spaces, so we think we’ll probably be OK. Of course, this is just the beginning of the first pandemic. But on the bright side, it looks like the whole stock market thing is gonna die, & that will be a good thing.

That thing sticking up in the back there is a tiki head from South Pacific.
Impossible architecture.

Here we go, Chapter 2 begins. Cherry & the Girls on the learning curve, discovering shit that didn’t exist 20 years ago, before they did the jump. Yeah, I know, it’s about time, well, I have been doing some other stuff, including some stage scenery last week, & the week before for a local community theatre’s production of a musical version of a film version of a fairytale hijacked by that Mouse outfit, not exactly what you would call a great job they did, but hey, it’s community theatre. That’s all moot now, after doing the opening weekend, it’s now been cancelled due to worries about the pandemic coming for us from all sides.
