(Oct. 31, 2023 / JNS)

While working on today’s cartoon I had the TV on in the background.

I caught a news video of a mob of Russians smashing past police in Dagestan to take over the runway where a plane from Tel Aviv had landed. They were screaming for Jewish blood while terrified passengers remained on the plane.

I went back to sketching and trying to come up with a cartoon, and caught another news video.

It was a mob of students in America screaming for Jewish blood while terrified Jewish students watched from their windows.

The scenes were simply unbelievable.

I looked at the calendar. Oct. 31. It’s Halloween.
