For besnglist on May Day

Description

So this one is about... three months late in coming (sheepish look on my face). I actually finished it a little while ago, but got married last month (I know - I'm way too bourgeois for Occupy!) and that pretty much ate up all of my thinking. Well, here it is - my May Day gift for my Serbian friend, partner, and comrade Jelena.

For those of you who weren't there:

1. Outside my Brooklyn apartment window on a good day

2. I have no money because I'm an amateur comic illustrator/adjunct professor of philosophy

3. The geographer is David Harvey (he really is a geographer)

4. That is an actual title from the NY Post (Chuck D: "The New York Post... 200 years of continuous bullshit news!")

5. Some asshole told me to get a job. I have two jobs, asshole!

6. Me conducting a session at Bryant Park with Courtney and Marie from OWS People's Think Tank

7. The Think Tank puppets ("money is less than heart plus brain")

8. So Tim and I were supposed to go get water for the Union Square rally, but we decided to drink at his house instead... then mayhem happened!

9. Actual chant

10. Empty, walled-off Liberty Park (officially known as Zuccotti Park - they weren't letting us in)

11. All of us at 55 Water at the end of the day. 30,000 people from OWS, immigrants' rights groups, and labor rights groups marching, and it barely made the news... except that bullshit Post headline, put out before we even did anything.

Awesome work, Michael, greatly thought out and executed. It seems like it's been a busy day. :)
P.S.: Congrats on getting married!
