Slam pits, drugs, loud music, police and gang violence—these are just some of the struggles punks face in a chaotic world. Bands express these issues through their music, while journalists report on them. The Wounded Punkx Project exists to support punks who have been affected.
Ezekiel Wheel Mr. Fuck “God is Every fucking man.”
“And the word of the lord came to me: Mortal, prophesy and say: thus says the Lord; Say: A sword, a sword is sharpened, it is also polished; It is sharpened for slaughter, honed to flash like lightning! How can we make merry? You have despised the rod.” ~ EZEKIEL 21 8-10.
I never will forget when my oldest son and I read from the bible a certain part about Ezekiel’s Wheel. I often overlooked elements of war but in the bible our patriarchs are ruthless bastards. And so is Ezekiel’s Wheel.
A prelude to war. Fucking race gods fighting each other through their human pawns, a big cosmic game of chess.
This may seem esoteric because it is. Recently Mr. Fuck and I were going through some of the Flopside cOmics and images, and we came upon a couple that he loved so much. We’ laughed aloud’ like we used to in time of grieving and wild exuberance. There is more to this image, it was inspired by Human (Steve Pfauter) during one of our online conversations. We were talking about women singers of the 60s and 70s. And we moved into talking about the Goddess. I mentioned the quote “The Goddess is Every Woman” by a well-known Jungian therapist Jean Shinoda Bolen. He said that it was not fair and replied,
“The God is every man.” We enjoyed this back and forth and often later I would get a message stated,
“Hud, you know I’m just messing with you, having a little fun, nothing serious!”
Next watercolor is inspired by some of the guys from the Scotland Yard Pub in Canoga Park California. I was going through some grieving times of parents getting old and dying.
The punk rock nostalgia wave was just beginning to hit around 2007, and they still had DJs at the pub who played from their record collections, often prime 1980s punk. Some of the fellas influenced me in a pleasant way. But I did drink too much and began smoking for a brief time.
It was a relieving an offbeat microcosm of how the punk scene once was for me during my youthful rebellion. To the songs and the great individuals and toxicologists at the pub. Thanks for helping me through some rough times. Mr. Fuck was often in the dark corner grinning asking for a lite after hours. Who knows maybe he is an offbeat shadow of my psyche.
“Break out and leave this life behind Break out and see what I can find Might lose I’m going to try my luck Might win don’t really give a fuck I gotta..”
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD PUNKS
The Flopside crew all have a Spring chest cold. Coughing and pain in the upper torso, so what is more soothing to discomforts than left-handed endeavors?
With a cocktail in one hand and coffee in the other, Mr. Fuck and Mr. Dang dive into that project or idea that’s been just sitting there on the back burner for way too long.
So, Mr. Dang did most of the work … so many angles to the dangle, pencil, ink, watercolor… then Photoshop, layout, and Adobe Acrobat.
A new HP printer is getting past its hazing days of demand. Learning the ways and sounds of a green horn printer is part of the key. Ink looks great.
Hudley was around somewhere getting the crew drinks and making up some sandwiches and chicken noodle soup.
Don’t let them find you stashing your Flopside cOmics PUSS!
Bound to the hospital bed for 7 days. No food, only moisture from an I.V. and a tube in my nose taking moisture out of my belly.
I thought about the Oceanids watercolors I did during our California Fires only a week earlier. It was so terrible.
I thought upon Prometheus and fire. Zeus bound him to a giant rock… yet it was the Oceanids who trembled and came to his side to hear his stories. Furthermore, to comfort him.
Again, I thought about these amazing creatures so when I was in hospital craving a drink of water, the nurse gave me a small cup of shaved ice. I did a ritual and put it on my legs, arms, and face. I could not drink it, but I sure could enjoy the bliss of moisture on my body.
The day I got out I felt the rain on my face. Two weeks later I finished my project with a place for the Oceanids … yes, it is good, and we are expecting more rain.
The anthropomorphic Praying Mantis is part of this wild story of water, nymphs and moisture. Praying for fog, rain and moisture we can call upon the Oceanids. A mystery, mythology and now a bubblegum Flopside cOmics.
Tethys
Tethys was a Titan goddess of freshwater and the mother of the Oceanids and the river gods. She was the daughter of Gaia and Uranus, and the wife and sister of Oceanus. Tethys was a nurturing mother to many of the more popular gods, including Hera, the grandmother of Athena.
Moon of Saturn
Tethys is a moon of Saturn with a diameter of 1,066 km (662 miles). It was discovered in 1684 by Gian Domenico Cassini and named after the Greek Titan goddess. Tethys is known for a fissure that circles most of its circumference. It orbits Saturn every 45 hours, while its moons Telesto and Calypso maintain stable positions in its orbit.
Thalassa
THALASSA was the primordial goddess (protogenos) of the sea. Mingled with Pontos (Pontus), her male counterpart, she produced the fish and other sea creatures. Thalassa was the literal body of the sea and in the fables of Aesop, manifests as a woman formed of seawater rising from her native element.
Poseidon and Amphitrite, the anthropomorphic king and queen of the sea, were the rulers of the elemental Pontos and Thalassa.
Thalassa is depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a matronly woman, half-submerged in the sea, with crab-claw horns, seaweed for clothes, and a ship’s oar in her hand.
Thetis
Thetis is a figure from Greek mythology with varying mythological roles. She mainly appears as a sea nymph, a goddess of water, and one of the 50 Nereids, daughters of the ancient sea god Nereus.
Styx
STYX was the goddess of the underworld River Styx and the eldest of the Okeanides (Oceanids). She was also the spirit (daimon) personification of hatred (stygos). Styx was a firm ally of Zeus in the Titan Wars, who brought her children Nike (Victory), Zelos (Rivalry), Bia (Force) and Kratos (Cratus, Strength) to stand beside the god in battle. Zeus rewarded her by making her stream the agent of oaths which bound the gods.
The River Styx was also a corrosive Arkadian (Arcadian) stream which allegedly flowed forth from the underworld.
Styx was sometimes identified with several other chthonian goddesses, including Demeter Erinys the wrathful earth, the oath-protecting Eumenides, and Nyx the darkness of night.
Telesto
Telesto. In Greek mythology, Telesto or Telestho (/tɪˈlɛstoʊ/; Ancient Greek: Τελεστώ means ‘success’) was an Oceanid, one of the 3,000 water-nymphs daughters of Titans Oceanus and Tethys. She was the personification of the divine blessing or success. Hesiod describes her as “wearing a yellow peplos”.
Thoosa
Thoosa. In Greek mythology, Thoosa, also spelled Thoösa, was, according to Homer, the sea nymph daughter of the primordial sea god Phorcys, and the mother, by Poseidon, of the Cyclops Polyphemus.
Triteria
Triteia was a sea nymph and the daughter of Triton, the sea-god. She was the lover of Ares, the god of war, and they had a son named Melanippus. Melanippus named a town in Achaea after his mother, and sacrifices were made to both Triteia and Ares in the temple of Athena there.
Tritonidis
Tritonidis / Tritônis was the goddess-nymph of the salt-water lake Tritonis in Libya, North Africa. In the story of the birth of the Libyan Athena, Triton–a Libyan sea-god sometimes identified with Poseidon–and Tritonis were the parents of two daughters named Athena and Pallas.
Recycling my ridiculous cartoon art is exuberance when the characters are so fun to work with. Ejaculations in space and small mushrooms is the theme here. To find something of value in it with the need to express something new.
As my youngest son stated to me today as I was talking to him about how the Film Hair was about all the youth of a generation speaking without cell phones. Yet the new young generation now has technology to hang and amplify their voices.
All the social media where people can do and say anything. That is how it once was on the streets where I grew up but without technology. Freedom always has a big shadow. So, to battle this I have learned with action and practice that real freedom comes with the engagement of responsibility.
So, as I was saying, youngest son says,
“Why worry about Trump and Elon…,”
and he smiled.
“Trump will not be around that much longer.”
“It is only matter of time… Trump is getting old and will die in the next ten years or less.”
Where did my son learn such good common-sense?
I love my PayPal but Elon, along with ejaculating in space, has joined the small mushroom club. He has a need to join with racists, Nazis, patriots who don’t know what that means, greedy bastards, men with closets full of Viagra.
As our clever youthful generations expand, they are covering up these guys. They are going to be covered over in our small mushroom gardens by their own waste and compost into a terrible part of our ‘unburned’ history books.
‘Our youth’ have gotten this down really good… so proud of them.
As Mr. Fuck was walking down the street smelling the flowers and experiencing joy beyond measure. A friend walked up and gave him a shot of free whiskey.
So, in return he told some of his campaign insights… and the two sat on the sidewalk, Mr. Fuck was barefoot and the two, and me three ~ his campaign copywriter, had a little talk.
Mr. Fuck declaring….
Rudy Giuliani
Giuliani led the 1980s federal prosecution of New York City mafia bosses as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
After a failed campaign for Mayor of New York City in the 1989 election, he succeeded in 1993, and was reelected in 1997, campaigning on a “tough on crime” platform. He led New York’s controversial “civic cleanup” from 1994 to 2001, and appointed William Bratton as New York City’s new police commissioner.
In 2000, he ran against First Lady Hillary Clinton for a U.S. Senate seat from New York, but left the race once diagnosed with prostate cancer. For his mayoral leadership following the September 11 attacks in 2001, he was called “America’s mayor” and was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2001.
He fell into disgrace with sexual assault and misconduct allegations…
Furthermore, recently the Bar Disciplinary Counsel recommended Giuliani be disbarred for violating rules of professional conduct by making false election fraud claims and trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Pennsylvania.
What makes a man flip to the dark side?
What makes a man stay honorable?
It is something to ponder in our world right now.
Now I will reflect with a few words on…
James B. Comey
Former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation at one time worked for Rudy Giuliani. They went after the bad guys.
Now Rudy Giuliani is in big trouble for helping to spread the lies for Trump. He does not have money and sells decaf coffee.
While James B. Comey has just published a new “Who Done It” book. He is retired, authoring books and spending time with his grandchildren.
He rejected Trumps protection of loyalty.
Now Trumps’ new lies about how the FBI tried to have him assassinated is the biggest falsity ever.
It is pure bullshit propaganda of insanity.
Yes James B. Comey has authored a book about the FBI telling a narrative of what they do. They still go after the bad guys, they use the justice system for justice, and are as Comey says,
“Straight in the middle a little to the right.”
In all that Trump has put us through with his insurrection, indictments and ugliness. We need to focus on stories about the nature of what it is to be a decent person again!
I am sick of the media’s focus on Trump!
Trump is the criminal and Comey is the decent person. While Rudy Giuliani is lost in a weird worm hole of scum … I would not even use his coffee to clean my car radiator. Scum 200 %.
And so MR. Fuck concluded with a fart and smile while watching a bumble bee loudly buzz buzz collecting sweet nectar !
Dictators fall when they’re overconfident; they stay in power when they’re paranoid. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. History has proved that dictators can’t last forever.
As soon Kamala Harris started running for President of the USA… Mr. Fuck was relieved to drop out…
A lot of images from the last few years have come together again. I can do some more but I think the last three times Trump running for President of the United States of America is enough for me. I can only make fun of the whole damn thing now. If I had to draw his face again, I know I would barf.
So as often Mr. Fuck came out of his bomb shelter and offered to off shoot the annoying DONALD and run for office himself.
We are stinkers and decided to make up T-Shirts and stickers and are running a campaign.
Renderings of older images is fun and so as he lit up his cigarettes, we had a whiskey or two and some pints. He is a doodler as well and so we call this our doodling campaign for office.
We both do not want Trump around. He repulses us.
The Flopside COmic Crew and Hudley
“Doppelgänger lost to the truth” song by Mr. Shit.
Thursday funnies from yours truly the Flopside Crew at Flopside cOmics.
It is like he is an Ace in the Hole… We all know he is a monster… yet he continues… he should be in jail. Or taken to some jail in a foreign country… no due process for him. Take his gold-plated white house and give all the gold back to the poor. He does not pay taxes… he needs to go now.
Mr. Fuck reflects on when he ran for president. He has many words of wisdom based on free shots of whiskey.
After a gulp of Whiskey…. Mr. Fuck speaks…
“I am often concerned for those who have the power to make Trump accountable but just let him keep talking. His lies are amplified, and his greed is self-evident, and his family is making huge profits on “we the people” … and he holds many countries in a state of hostile takeover with his god-awful tariffs.
This all started on the back of women who had their rights taken away from them. Roe v. Wade overturned. These conservatives! Damn them! Let’s see the list!”
He takes another nip of Midleton very rare housed in his bomb shelter, against the cold of weather and soul….
“Trump is a son of a bitch and even his mother is a thousand times better than he will ever be. Rest her soul. He is the scum of the earth with the power that needs to be taken from him and all of his sick fucks who follow his every word. They are lost… dead and are without a conscience. And if there is a hell they will be found boiling in its Purgatory.”
Dancing in a square room with Mr. Fuck and Mr. Crap.
Happy holidays…
A limerick from Mr. Fuck and Mr. Crap
A whiskey shot will do
A wrestle with an opossum too
Berries in my pudding
And rum in my cake
I will eat my
Fresh baked soul cake.
Freedom grows
When our conscience knows
The devil be gone.
We got to move on
Tickle Rudolph’s nose
We are smart
Love grows in the
COCKLES OF THE HEART!
The cockles of our hearts
Fresh baked soul cake!
Charles Tatum : When they bleached your hair, they must have bleached your brain too.
“Tatum gets work from his the local newspaper, but finds that there’s not much in the way of pressing news. However, when Tatum catches wind of a treasure hunter (Richard Benedict) trapped in a mineshaft, he turns the story into a media sensation. Soon Tatum is using unscrupulous tactics to draw out the situation, an approach that comes back to haunt him.” -Ace In the Hole.
“To draw out the situation.” The only reason Trump is not hugging his bunk in prison right now is because he creates a “media sensation.” The media is using him like the “treasure hunter trapped in a mineshaft.”
And we all know how the film Ace in the Hole (1951) ends.
“Leo (treasure hunter) begins to become ill as time passes and his health decides the futures of those making a profit from his demise.”
A FLOPSIDE COMIC edited by Mr. SHit…. who is terrible at editing but at 65 has the extreme enthusiasm of a 20 year old….
Mr. FUck and Mr. ShIt are so bitchin’ man… they like to hang out and have fun..
NOt a FLipside COmic Mr. SHit but a FLOPSIDE COMIC>>>>>>
Old Man Joe was recorded in our bomb shelter…. he was so happy to read for us at FLOPSIDE COmics... he usually is the silent one of integrity, wicked smarts and cantankerous ways…
As he said,
“From one old fool to some others…”
Sadly, they have lost their dignity and grace.
McConnell appears to freeze while speaking with reporters in Kentucky.
Feinstein’s fall was described as a minor slip and did not involve steps or stairs.
We at FLOPSIDE Comics must make this editorial. We have talked to Hudley, and she agrees.
She has worked at nursing homes and as a Home Health Aide.
We all hold great respect for the ageing.
Yet there is a time when one needs to take off the sheath of power to let others who are more apparently resilient and healthier take their place.
As a California Senator and as the minority Senate leader.
Democrats and Republicans can agree to something as profoundly real as this. We like the fact that when an issue crosses the line, reaching across the Aisle of politics, and both parties have a common issue to deal with, this real issue of poor health and age.
It is a reality we all face if we live long enough. They are not Queens or Kings but elected to serve their time with dignity and grace.
Yet now is the time, for both of them, to step down with dignity and grace.
This song is dedicated to Mr. SHit’s extreme enthusiasm…
Yes I do not like everything she has done but I do like how she has stood up for abused women …. People can make right moves !
How ironical !?
Will she read the list in the House without facing legal action? I hope so, as many wealthy and powerful men will have there names disclosed.
“Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon, for the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’
For the loser now will be later to win.”
A theme I was thinking upon years ago .. something beyond politics… women working together!
Marjorie Taylor Greene Rebuked for Displaying Nude Photos of Hunter Biden at Hearing.
Greene was born in Milledgeville, Georgia, on May 27, 1974, the daughter of Robert Taylor.
She graduated from South Forsyth High School in Cumming, Georgia in 1992, and the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1996.
Perry Greene (m. 1995; div. 2022).
In September 2020, Greene wrote on Twitter that “children should not wear masks”, calling recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health officials “unhealthy for their psychological, emotional, and educational growth” and “emasculating” for boys.
She called restrictions imposed in the U.S. Capitol in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including face mask requirements, “tyrannical control” by Democrats.
I am finding Mr. Fuck has come out of his Bomb shelter to play… it has been awhile. He was pissed due to the fact that Mr. Shit’s theme song came out and no one cares about him anymore. So Mr. Shit and I got together and wrote a theme song for him.
Funny how creative endeavors come out to play again as one gets older. Mr. Shit and Mr. Fuck and I are feeling creative, silly and laugh a lot too.
I think about the song Puff the Magic Dragon and realize as I get older I am happy to find the call again of Puff’s gigantic roar and the song does not make me sad anymore.
“Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail.
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail.
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.”
Yes we all three agreed on this… so here is Mr. Fuck’s theme song that is well overdo.
Mr. BEE takes a drag watching as he critiques the theme song.
Mr. Fuck has amassing foresight about our future, so wise.
The heat brought out the Flopside crew. A few beers and aqua farts, after cannon jumps in the pool, were flying and talk became dirty funny, so we went over some of the old Flopside Comics… Mr. Fuck was unattractively posing in the sun, and Mr. Dang did the work as usual. The Bomb Shelter often comes open for these wild ones to come out and jest…political satire at its crème de la crème. Mr. Shit was staring at my Dionysian Hollyhocks with joy and wonder.
“June is here.” said Mr. Crap.
“Now, time for some art to be done!”
October 6 2022 edit.
Here at Flopside cOmics, we are happy to announce that due to the wildly irresponsible actions of a Moron BOZO from Outer Space—a rich one at that—who is taking over that sick place known for its chaotic atmosphere where the horror will come back to haunt us, we feel compelled to make a bold decision. In light of this situation, we are leaving, as we cannot, in good conscience, support a platform that allows incompetence to reign.
Our departure signifies more than just a withdrawal; it’s a hopeful rallying call for others to protest against Twitter (X) and demand a return to what social media was meant to be: a space for creativity, expression, and meaningful connection without the dark cloud of ignorance looming overhead. We urge our fellow creators and community members to unite in this stand for a better digital world.
And now DOGE
“The word doge comes from Venetian Italian, and, like its standard Italian cognate duce (as in Mussolini’s title “Il Duce”), is derived from the Latin dux, meaning either “spiritual leader” or “military commander.”
Piazzale Loreto is a significant square in Milan, Italy
Mussolini’s Execution: . The bodies of Benito Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were also displayed in Piazzale Loreto after their execution, which was a deliberate act of symbolic vengeance.
An Italian partisan, known in Italian as “partigiano,” refers to a member of the Italian resistance movement during World War II, specifically those who fought against Nazi occupation of Italy and Italian Fascism. The term originates from the Italian word for “member of a political party,” and in this context, it signifies someone fighting for their country’s liberation
These are a handful of Babes that keep giving. They have influenced generations by their singing, music, and right and left hand creative endeavors.

We are living through kind of depressing days. I think it is a nice time to share humor and look to some darn strong women!
Babes that keep giving.
I love the term BABE. It means so many things. Here at FLopside Comics Mr. Fuck and Mr. Shit mean it in a HIGH FIVE way. Lovers, girls, and best friends. Yet they also use the word ‘dude’ the same way when referring to their friends that are girls.
Girls, gals, women, females, dames, dolls, and broads.
Mr. Shit does not use proper English and prefers to use “that” instead of “who”… it is a slang thing… yet Babes Who keep Giving he said,
The highest court of our land is making it impossible for women to care for their own bodies. When women are deflowered or devalued it is time to look at the other sex… the male, especially all conservative moronic males, and their bitches…. Time to address their sperm and ask the big question,
“If a man gets a woman pregnant without the holy affirming blessing of the great Baubo herself, then off with his balls, or head … whichever. What do you think about that justice?”
– A Flopside Comic- crew rhetorical question !
Over the last few years I have worked with the image, ideal, psychology, mythology or biology of Baubo.
We on crew made a FLopside cOmic awhile back with my art.
Queens Rule The World, Punks In Space and Punk Drummers Whose Heads Exploded with a Big Loud Bang… Flopside Bubble Gum Comics
When I was a kid and things got too much to bear. I was often found in the boy’s room under the pool table reading Mad Magazine or Playboy editorials. Gahan Wilson was a great way to cosmically melt into the realm of humor. We are living through “too much to bear” times now.
I am bringing back my Flopside Comics if you haven’t noticed already. Mr. Fuck has been joining the racoons outside at night for free food. I laugh out loud at his eager face.
“Come on Hudley, lets laugh together?” He speaks as he scratches the window like the humor up my spine.
I will not define humor or who, what or why Mad Magazine did what it did? I loved the off-the/wall humor of Gahan Wilson. It turns me on and as any good or bad artist knows, it is how it makes us feel that matters. Humor attacks stress. Annihilating it from the face of this messed up planet.
