I am slated to appear tomorrow afternoon at a virtual panel hosted by the Center for American Progress entitled “Uniformed Disservice: How Trump’s Agenda Harms Veterans and Service Members“.

As far as I know, Comics Kingdom has finally fixed their daily emails well enough to make the comics designated as “Vintage” work properly in the comics aggregator.
