In A Desperate Effort To Avoid Defeat On November 3, 2020, The *ILK (*Impeached But Not Removed) Lyin' King Has Surrendered To The COVID-19 Pandemic & Now Our Village National Idiot (The *ILK) Has Declared War On The US Postal Service To Lessen The Impact Of Voting By Mail In The 2020 Election

In the e-mail that brought today's TMW 'toon, Tom Tomorrow/Dan Perkins also wrote:

Hey All,

Well my friends, usually I have these things queued up and ready to send out a bit in advance, but this week I'm wrapping it up seconds before I hit the "send" button on the old Sparky's List machine, so please forgive the lack of additional rambling here. Thank you once again, one and all, for your support of this work -- this list really is the only thing making up the difference for all the lost income of the last few years. Altweeklies were already a dying breed and the Corona hasn't helped. Also, if you were one of the generous souls who pitched in a little extra via the 'donate' button on my website and I haven't written back, I'm sorry, and thank you!! I'm very behind on that.

Until next time!

Dan/Tom

And so the 'toonist writes in these chaotic times; the feeling of being behind is a key feature of the new normal. If this is a (fair & balanced) description of dystopia, so be it.
