Demographic Quicksand


18 minutes in Sketch Club.

Speaking of quicksand, take a look at this 1967 performance by comedian Jackie Vernon. Some of you will be old enough to remember Jackie Vernon and his use of state of the art technology in his deadpan stand-up act, which in this case revolves around quicksand.

Last Breath

I did this one in December of 2020, but I decided not to post it on this illustroblog. However, now that we’re witnessing a few examples of people who, when they did have plenty of breath to spare, bloviated on and on about their absolute certainty that science, masks, election results, slavery, racism, and so forth were all hoaxes. A few of them – on their death beds – are now using their last breaths to help their fellow cult members wake the f*ck up before it’s too late. Meanwhile, the well-funded Stupidity and Extinction Campaign has raised more money than ever before!

Do we underestimate extinction?

Do we deserve democracy?

Run that by me again, Joe.
