It’s the second anniversary of a new holiday in New Hampshire. Happy Porcupine Day!
I wanted to let all my readers know that there is more to come despite a long lag with no posts. The combination of the holidays out of town with no Internet access and the busy work of adjusting to a new computer with a faulty motherboard have delayed progress. The good news is I invested in a new computer primarily in order to make the comics easier. My older computers were starting to lag as I created more and more vector objects on the screen and there wasn’t much room for expansion so I just splurged on a new computer which should make things easier. I expect this to mean more comic updates in the near future once I get the motherboard replaced.
In many places, there will be an elaborate ritual known as an election which is used as a rather contrived justification for committing violence against innocent people. November 3rd is the date chosen by those who partake in this rather disturbing religious practice. If you’re apolitical like myself, you may feel like this day is nothing special. You’re right, but knowing that many people will be using this day to reinforce their deadly delusions, I think it’s an excellent opportunity to present them with a peaceful and rational alternative that they’ve been sheltered from for most of their lives.
I’ll be handing out fliers at one of my local polling places and I encourage others to do the same. Please feel free to download and print them out using the links provided. Also feel free to modify them to suit your particular message. There is a list of websites on the last page to go to for more information. You may have a different list in mind. I like to say “Peaceful alternatives to politics” to people as they approach and I try not to shove the flier at them in an aggressive way but rather hold it up to inspire their curiosity. Your methods may differ.
I’ve also added a new design to the Anarchy In Your Head store if you’d like to have a shirt to wear for the occasion. Just click the “Peace Not Politics” image in this post to visit the store.

I’ve posted another video to the Anarchy In Your Head YouTube channel. Go there and click “Subscrib”. Embedded videos seem to break the RSS feed or at least they used to. I’m not sure if that has been remedied in a more recent version of Wordpress. For now, I’m playing it safe so feed readers will need to view it at the site or on YouTube. I will be updating to a newer version of Wordpress soon which might fix this. I apologize for the trouble.
I wasn’t actually thrilled with the idea of having the rally during the Pumpkin Fest. I suggested we carve some creative Jack-O-Lanterns having a 420 rally and place them in the square as a quiet alternative. Well, others chose to continue, which is their right, so I did what I could to support them and at least make sure as many people as possible can witness police victimizing innocent people who own their own bodies with the tired excuse of “just doing my job”. If my job required me to victimize innocents, I would quit. I’d sooner flip burgers or become a two-bit whore or something.

In the video below I explain my motives for not going along quietly with a simple citation and paying the fine. Statism is a religion that I simply do not have faith in and those of us who feel that way need to come out of the closet and stop pretending that we do in order to fit in and avoid conflict.
