im forever FASCINATED at all the slice o life satire cartoons he does bc there's like, the regular shit to be grumpy (flappers driving cars, ladies hats are too big etc) about but there's also comics of fads that i could not BEGIN to fathom what it woulda been like to live through them through the eyes of this one dude like
