Randomly Drawn

April 22, 2026

Back on my nonsense! I’ve been watching old recordings of Friday Night Videos on Youtube because I am a nostalgic and old fart. It’s neat to watch the old commercials and remember stuff that was fairly ubiquitous at the time, but now…apparently is only sold out of Munich, Germany! (Man, I REALLY got a hankering for a Lowenbrau now, too!) One of these was an older commercial for Hawaiian Punch. It was a more “adult” ad because of all of us “adults” who were watching Friday Night Videos at home on a random Friday in 1983. I wanted the little mascot guy who just went around asking if people wanted a refreshing beverage and then absolutely clocking the hell out of them. My older cousins always tried that on us. “Want a Hawaiian Punch?” No, Scott! I watch way more TV than you! I know this is a trap! And then he’d hit me in the shoulder anyways cause I was much slower than him and couldn’t get away.

So, I wanted to draw Punchy (the mascot’s actual name! How hard could being a Mad Men have BEEN?) But WHO to punch?!? I want to doodle smack so many of this administration in the mouth. Who’s been in the news? Captain Dumpypants is always a strong choice. If only to stop his dementia riddled yapping. But Kegsbreath has been quoting Pulp Fiction and making brilliant decisions for “warrior preparedness” by…doing away with vaccine mandates? Are we SURE this blockheaded and besotted thug is on our side?

Then Kash “J. Edgar Boozer” Patel came roaring in with his lawsuit against the Atlantic about his drunken behavior and trying to distract everyone from that brilliant legal move…saying he would file charges against the people who “stole the election in 2020”. But then I guess he looked at the files and realized like everyone else…there was nothing there. So he had to pivot and go after the Southern Poverty Law Center. He did this by being purposefully thick about what was happening and lying about what they were ACTUALLY doing (paying informants and undercover agents) and make people believe it was “funding the terrorist organizations” it was actually investigating. Honestly, anyone who ever watched old episodes of Starsky & Hutch knows how that system works.

So, the little pickled freak gets offered a refreshing beverage. Maybe he thinks it will mix well with bourbon.

“…and stay down.”

Encouraging people to donate is such a little thing but I want to do something to help them. You can donate to help the SPLC here (right at the top). That goes for any other group you know of that may be under attack from these feckless knobs. Donate. Time. Money. Whatever you can. They know the walls are closing in. (Watch the video of Tucker Carlson half-hearted weaseling. “We’re responsible for this”. YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT YOU ARE! No takesies-backsies now, Tucko!)

I hope your week is being good to you. Be safe. Be kind. Have a cinnamon roll and be happy.
