Again, not very original
This is part of my mad scheme to make Grok do some of the heavy lifting for me. I asked it for a toddler sitting on a pile of cash. For some reason, it kept adding British things, like the Houses of Parliament in the background. Which is weird, because my VPN has set itself to the Netherlands tonight.
What I’m saying is, I have to spend time scrubbing the AI out of it, but it’s still so much faster than starting from scratch.
p.s. if you want to know if someone has done a careful P’shop job, look to the edges where two layers meet. I’m sporting some pretty sloppy edges here, though fortunately I think it’s too small to see.

Stoaty, for sociopolitical graphic humor originality is secondary to appeal and visual ‘snap.’ Yesterday’s image has a snap for me that this one, although I like it, lacks. I wonder if it would appeal more if you used an image of Z with a stupid grin on his face. What with all the photos of him there’s bound to be one that yells ‘glee’ at us.
I kind of like this one but don’t know about potential copyright problems.

I’m enjoying the utter hypocrisy spewing forth from our “Friends” in Europe, frankly it appears many of your new found country men are pissed we’re not playing along with the whole “stop Russia!” beat that’s being drummed up.
I attribute it to TDS, and we have that aplenty here, so I’m not offended. In fact I find the threats and posturing rather amusing.
The bilge is pumping fast from a continent that spent their cash buying Russian gas while Russia stomped on Ukraine, and kept buying it until their ‘pals’ in Ukraine blew up the gas pipelines.
Seems that’s been forgotten as so many Euro commenters have discovered Putin’s plan to march his troops in the shade along the Champs Elysees before boarding landing craft to invade England. And Trump is going to let it all happen!
They must also have discovered that the Russians aren’t using their real logistics and troops in the Ukraine/Russia war and have been hiding them because they’ve enjoyed losing equipment and men in the Ukraine meat grinder for the last few years.

It’s been just ages since I’ve stolen anything from you.
How are thy flocks?

Still three roosters and a hen, Bob. And she’s too old to lay.
Worst. Chickenkeeper. Ever.

Sorry to hear that.
Urban Eugene has grown out waaaaay past us, so we bought some acreage in the Virginia Highlands and are working on that.
No ducks or chickens at the moment.
Somebody needs to take my bear and coyote proof duck house away.
