John SchragMy #inktober sketch for days 3 and 4. It took me two days to finish this one, and panel 3 incorporates some earlier work because I'm lazy.

ChristineSaysHi@jvschrag Can’t wait to hear who stars in the action movie!
@ChristineSaysHi I hear Henry Cavill is free now.
@jvschrag Haha, had to look him up! His name sounded a bit old fashioned and I thought he might be some old time politician, lol. Well, I guess at least he couldn't do any worse than the current guy and I believe they don't HAVE to be actually elected. Surprised Trump isn't interested in that, actually.
startling, possibly illegal

kinda thinking that the third row negates the socialism aspect
having vast amounts of money and an enterprise profiting from a vital energy transition, i mean
but ig a liberal business owner branded as a world saver and doing non-harmful things is better than some evil version of the character
doesn't scream "workers control the means of production" to me, though
and UBI doesn't qualify, it's just more accessible welfare

@katve That’s a very fair point. You can assume that the reporter in the story was from a “news” network that labels anything other than rabid neoliberalism as “socialism”.
Juho MäntysaloThe difference between social liberalism and socialism is basically the answer to the question "should the poor, working or not, survive or live".
While ownership of tools of productions is a good simplification, it's worth noting that ownership can mean other things than just direct owner or property.
Similarly how a fully protected forest might be someone's private property, but in practice their hands are completely tied to what can actually be done with it.
LivingCode@jvschrag this one is great :)
ambi ✨@jvschrag One idea I had was for Batman to convert Wayne Enterprises into a cooperative. I'm not sure about the logistics, but someone could write a Succession-style corporate story-line about how to get there. https://youtube.com/shorts/jts-Ism7LlU

arthur.pizza@jvschrag This is the best version of Batman I've ever seen.
Gabriel Adrian Samfira@jvschrag this is briliant.
JayMoore@jvschrag this is fantastic
Emil Jacobs - Collectifission@jvschrag in real life Ontario is a great feel good story about how they closed the coal plants and cleared up the skies 😊
jack@jvschrag You might be lazy, but this is f***ing batshit brilliant!
Thank you so much for making my day, and night, and the whole week as well...
@jack “batshit” — I see what you did there. :-)
Thanks!
Voron
therieau@jvschrag I absolutely love this. So great.
damian 
willcox@jvschrag nice work!! Great to see you here, John!! 😊
@dorkboycomics I didn’t know you were on Mastodon, so it was a nice surprise to see you here!
@jvschrag likewise!! I’ve had to bounce around a few servers now, but hopefully that’s done now! 🙈😂
Gabriel Pettier
Iris Young (he/they/she) (PhD)@jvschrag Fantastic.
I miss being able to leave more descriptive emoji reactions to indicate I've spent extra time deciding what would be an appropriate reaction as an extra show of thanks, which I'm not at all sure anyone else registered as such, and without generating an entire reply that appears on its own in other people's feeds. This was a feature on firefish. If it's possible on mastodon and I just don't know how to do it, someone please let me know.
a fading echo@jvschrag
Laziness is often economy of effort, allowing more production. This is rather good.

L0v3l4c3 🌹@jvschrag : This is very much my political opinion, and is not strictly factual. I would edit this comic with a couple of caveats (I won't go into the whys this post). It's up to you as to how you like to present them.
1. The energy companies get handed over to some sort of co-operative (worker co-op, consumer co-op, etc), governed democratically.
2. UBIs should *never* ever be a substitute for the welfare state.
As far as my politics go, I would prioritise the first caveat.
LR@jvschrag beautiful
Nike Leonhard@jvschrag Really cool stuff - and the superhero I'd admire.
Your Hangryness Mg. Unfuchs@jvschrag best superhero story I've ever read
jamesTown@jvschrag would be funny if the silver Surfer comes around and the just shoot him down with some sci fy gun cause they now have updated their Universitys and have integrated the super villan Mutants into the police force.
🄯 CarlOS@jvschrag @neurologo one of the best Batman's elseworlds I've ever read.
slowtiger@jvschrag You're not lazy. You give each work the unfakeable touch of personality.
(I made it a habit to nearly always include some element from a former project into a recent one. There's a watercolour BG I've used since 2006, a sky I made in 2012, and so on. I even put complete walk cycles from old films into new ones, just very tiny in the background.)
