A graphic from Mad magazine #182 from April 1976. The larger piece this comes from is "A Mad Portfolio of Some Idealists' Dreams" by Arnoldo Franchioni.

I have been starting to visit and revisit Mad following the discovery of a huge box of old issues in the storage unit of my wife's late uncle. Some of this stuff has aged in rather interesting ways.

A brilliant graphic from protectpalestineorg — 30 universities with the largest endowments in the USA , currently hosting encampments to protest against their institutions investments in the State of Israel. Harvard University contributing the most in Israeli investments, totalling $50 billion.

After a successful hunger strike in February, Darthmouth (New Hampshire) has begun a divestment process.

As of April 28th there are currently no encampments at: John Hopkins (MD), UVA (VA) and Notre Dame (IN).

[ID: lettering art by OP. In the center the message "free Gaza" in red text is combined with the Palestinian flag and black blocking to make a square shape. The lettering for "free Gaza" has three red drops of blood in the enclosed parts of the letters. The background of the entire thing is a light tan color. In each corner is a motif of an olive branch. On the top and bottom of the border is written "free the people free the land" in red text, and on either side of the border is written "ceasefire now! ceasefire now!" in matching text. /End ID]

Who wants to see the tories new poster

The car is owned by a Canadian company, the ship is Swiss, the plane is 50 years old, the football team have never won anything, the king has cancer, and the prime minister was never elected hell he was his party’s second choice after Liz truss,

also we haven’t been the second most powerful country in almost a century but even if we were the pride in the mediocrity of coming second to the USA a country teetering on the brink of Fascism, actively supporting a genocide, and which will likely not exist in its current form by the end of my life

I made these in my time at college for research + more practical work. The first one is heavily inspired by the artist sweatermuppet, as I really love his queer graphic designs. I want to continue to make things similar to this in the future.

The second is one I made without any reference, using the pink triangle that was used to label gay people in Germany during the second world war. Subtly hinting at queer discrimination. I really enjoyed making it and yeah :)

Btw i mostly use my tumblr to document my college work so yeah :)) Follow along if u so dare to see my bullshit!

"Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today." -Stanley Martin Lieber AKA Stan Lee

All media is political including Marvel comic books and it was intentional. He wanted it that way. Every one of you racist, queerphobic cunts claiming to be Marvel fans -- Stan would hate all of you.
