Chapter: comic

  • A single-panel color comic strip in the Mad Monday series by Scott Gallatin. Set against a gray gradient background with a halftone dot floor. Two men face each other. On the left, an older white man in a gray cap and blue jacket gestures animatedly, visibly frustrated, his speech bubbles reading "THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED I TELL YOU!" "AND THEY KEEP MOVING THE GOAL POST!" and "HOW'S A GUY GOING TO GET AHEAD IF THEY CONTROL ALL THE RULES." On the right, a younger dark-skinned man in a green top stands with hands at his sides, listening with a calm, patient, slightly wry expression — the look of someone who has heard a version of this complaint before, and for whom the irony of the statement lands very differently.

  • A four-panel black-and-white comic strip in bold cartoon style with halftone dot shading. Panel 1 (top left): Scott, the bearded man in shorts and sneakers, walks purposefully toward a rocky cave entrance, his speech bubble reading "I AM READY TO BECOME A HERMIT." Panel 2 (top right): A wider view of a rocky cliff face with a "FOR SALE" sign planted in the ground outside a cave entrance, speech bubble reading "NOW I JUST NEED A PROPER HERMIT CAVE." Panel 3 (bottom left): Scott stands wide-eyed and excited in front of the cave, two bubbles reading "THIS ONE IS PERFECT" and "DOES IT HAVE WIFI?" Panel 4 (bottom right): Scott faces his bald round-headed friend, who gives him a skeptical look and apparently delivers the news. Scott responds with "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'HERMITS DON'T NEED WIFI'…"

  • A single-panel color comic strip labeled "WEIRD WEDNESDAY" in the top right corner, credited to SCOTTGALLATIN.COM in the bottom left. Set in outer space against a deep blue starfield with two gray moons and a small pink planet visible in the background. In the foreground, a red-haired woman in a green top leans against the rim of a spacecraft cockpit, eyes closed, smiling warmly and contentedly. Beside her, a small purple slug-like alien with large eyes, a goofy grin, and two buck teeth — Sluggo — leans against her with an expression of pure smitten bliss. A caption box at the top reads "SLUGGO MAY HAVE HAD TO TRAVEL FIVE HUNDRED LIGHT YEARS TO DO IT…" and a second caption box at the bottom reads "BUT HE FINALLY FOUND TRUE LOVE." The comic is a sweet, absurdist romantic strip

  • A single-panel color comic strip labeled "Mad Monday" in the top right, credited to scottgallatin.com in the bottom left. Set against a gray diagonal-striped background. A brown-haired man in a dark suit and red tie gestures with one hand, smiling broadly with wide, slightly panicked eyes — the classic expression of someone confidently saying nothing. His speech is delivered in a cascade of large and small bubbles. The larger primary bubbles read: "I'M SURE EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE," "AND WHILE I'VE NOT HEARD ABOUT THAT…," "OR HEARD THE EXACT COMMENTS…," "I'M SURE I'LL HAVE A VERY STRONG OPINION ON THAT…," and "ONCE I AM TOLD WHAT THAT OPINION WILL BE." Smaller secondary bubbles tucked between them read: "IF YOU DON'T LOOK THAT CLOSE," "OH DEAR GOD!," "PLEASE LET THEM NOT BE RACIST," and "MAYBE." The comic is a sharp satire of political spin and non-committal public statements

  • A four-panel black-and-white comic strip labeled "MADSCOTT" in the top right, credited to SCOTTGALLATIN.COM in the bottom left. Bold cartoon style with halftone dot shading. Panel 1 (top left): A label reading "MONDAY" sits above a confident steam locomotive chugging along at full speed, smoke billowing from its stack — everything running smoothly. Panel 2 (top right): Labeled "WEDNESDAY," Scott appears wearing a flat cap, confidently pointing at something off-panel with a pointer stick, looking pleased and in control — the week's midpoint going well. Panel 3 (bottom left): Labeled "FRIDAY," the same locomotive is completely derailed — tipped at a chaotic angle, wheels off the tracks, debris flying. Panel 4 (bottom right): Scott stands in a t-shirt, wide-eyed and bewildered, with two speech bubbles reading "I SWEAR TO YOU…" and "THIS WEEK STARTED OUT SO GOOD."

  • A single-panel color comic strip in the Mad Monday series, credited to Scott Gallatin. Set against a light blue background with halftone dot shading. Two men face each other. On the left, a younger dark-haired man with a goatee and a gray jacket looks skeptical and slightly irritated, his speech bubble reading "I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN BE SO HAPPY ON A MONDAY." On the right, an older heavyset man with a walrus-style gray mustache, a round nose, and a blue t-shirt grins broadly with eyes nearly closed in contentment, responding through two bubbles: "EASY" and "I HAVEN'T READ A SINGLE EMAIL SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2016."

  • A four-panel black-and-white comic strip in bold cartoon style with diagonal line shading. A gray cat appears as a recurring character alongside Scott the bearded man. Panel 1 (top left): Scott stands wide-eyed next to the cat, his speech bubble reading "HOW DID THE SINK GET SO PLUGGED UP." The cat sits nearby looking away innocently. Panel 2 (top right): A closer view of Scott, looking sideways with suspicion, his bubble reading "WE DON'T DRAIN THE GREASE OR ANY OTHER GARBAGE." Panel 3 (bottom left): Scott leans toward the cat, who sits with eyes closed and a small thought bubble with two circles — implying quiet guilt. Scott has two bubbles: "WELL.." and "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?" Panel 4 (bottom right): A close-up of the cat alone, eyes half-closed, with a thought bubble reading "I MAY HAVE BEEN DUMPING MY DRY FOOD IN THERE."

  • A single-panel color comic strip labeled "WEIRD WED" in the top right corner, credited to SCOTTGALLATIN.COM in the bottom left. Set in outer space against a deep dark blue starfield with bright twinkling stars. In the lower left, the curved edge of Earth is visible with green landmasses and blue ocean. A small pale moon floats in the middle distance. Center frame, a detailed gray metallic flying saucer — classic UFO shape with rivets, fins, and an engine glow — cruises away from Earth. Two speech bubbles read: "I CAN'T BELIEVE WE FLEW ALL THE WAY TO THIS LITTLE MUD BALL JUST FOR COFFEE" and on the right, "IT WAS WORTH IT.

  • A Mad Monday comic by Scott Gallatin showing an "I Love My Sailor" mug on a desk, surrounded by speech bubbles discussing how military members are promised debt repayment but it never happens — and they don't complain because they believe in service to their country.

  • A four-panel black-and-white comic strip labeled "MADSCOTT" in the top right, credited to SCOTTGALLATIN.COM in the bottom left. Bold cartoon style with halftone dot shading. Panel 1 (top left): Scott, the bearded man, gestures openly with one hand and a wry expression, his speech bubble reading "THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE BUT…" Panel 2 (top right): A small figure — Scott — stands alone in a flat landscape surrounded by heavy, low-hanging clouds rolling in from all sides, with a speech bubble reading "I AM ONCE AGAIN EXISTING IN A SOCIETAL FOG." No features are visible on the figure, emphasizing the isolation. Panel 3 (bottom left): A tiny boat sails on open water toward a large iceberg, with a speech bubble reading "AT ANY POINT I MAY CRASH HEADLONG INTO AN ICEBERG." Panel 4 (bottom right): A close-up of Scott's face, wearing a determined but resigned half-smile, with a speech bubble reading "IT'S LIKE I'M PLAYING HAPPY MUSIC ON A SINKING SHIP."
