@ghostrunner ”And this time it’s with christianity”

@ghostrunner Manufactured 744 of those from 1952-1962 and we've still got 76 of those in service today.

The cartoon is still as poignant as ever. Good thing we stopped all those dominos and Liberty Prime-d the world. Where would we be otherwise?

@ghostrunner We could dust off a whole bunch of R. Cobb cartoons and they'd all be depressingly relevant for the current clusterf⁸ck
@ghostrunner Back then the Epstein files didn´t exist...
@ghostrunner @mralancooper American/Australian artist. He lived most of his life (from the age of 35 until he passed away) in Sydney.
@pmonks I remember following his work back in the 70s.
@mralancooper My parents had his 1978 book on the coffee table, and as a kid it was both fascinating and terrifying.
