My first comic for @NewYorker is about the absurdities of teaching art during a pandemic. Yes, I really do use a megaphone sometimes when I teach these days. Read the whole comic here: newyorker.com/humor/daily-sh… #comics #arteducation

SEPTA was created because of the failure of privately-run companies to profitably maintain and operate transit lines The idea that you can just switch it back without service cuts suggests to me that state legislators don't grasp what public transit is or why it exists
News: House Minority Leader Jesse Topper (R., Bedford) says SEPTA should, at minimum, privatize its bus service as the agency faces a $213 million budget deficit. He argues this would protect against other services cuts while "relieving taxpayers" from subsidizing the agency.

Everything in our economy becomes much clearer when you understand that Don Draper was not good at selling lucky strikes, he was good at selling ads to the company selling lucky strikes

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! My name is Steve and I’m represented by @ericarsilverman at @StimolaLiterary . I live and work in Philly, and I like to draw with ink and paint and digital tools, but sometimes I just like crayons and colored pencils! #kidlit

I always used to laugh listening to @UhhYeahDude make fun of parents calling their kids “indigo children.” Don’t I feel silly now that I have a bonafide indigo child in my house

When I was growing up in Philly in the 80’s, i didn’t know where the closest pool was to Chinatown. If I had to cool off, I hung in the gallery or went to Logan Circle. I know it’s frowned upon but I don’t blame any kid who finds relief there . Stay cool out there, Philly.

It’s been a long time since something I drew made it onto a shirt. Thanks again for letting me draw this, West Philly Porchfest! #westphilly

Today is the first day of summer. It's hot, and it's a perfect day to listen to this dad rock anthem I wrote with @flatmaryroad about that summer feeling... youtube.com/watch?v=KoNPIvP0…

In this corner! Weighing in at an unstoppable 8.3 pounds..the slinking slugger..the purring pugilist..Professor Naps! And in this corner...your returning heavyweight champion, weighing in at a dangerous 8.4 pounds...the meowing mercenary...the whiskered warrior..Mr. Snuggleface!

Throughout the summer the @philamuseum will have a special Mary Cassatt exhibit. I've been looking at her artwork a lot recently in order to make this illustration; one of the cards for the Pittsburgh-themed tarot deck I'm finishing up with Ed Simon! @Microcosmmm #tarot
