Chapter: comic

  • A Mad Monday comic by Scott Gallatin showing a flustered press secretary at a podium with speech bubbles reading: "Well, gosh fellas," "I'm not sure that's exactly what he said," "But I can promise what he says next will seem much worse," and "Next question please."

  • A four-panel black-and-white comic strip in bold cartoon style with halftone dot shading. Panel 1 (top left): Scott runs at full sprint, leaning forward with intense determination, speed lines behind him, speech bubble reading "MUST GO FASTER." Panel 2 (top right): Scott bent over with hands on knees, completely winded, large stylized sound effect text reading "HUFF," "PUFF," and "WHEEZE" filling the panel. Panel 3 (bottom left): Scott pumps his fist with a look of wild-eyed triumph, three connected bubbles reading "I THINK," "I CAN SEE," and "THE FINISH LINE." Panel 4 (bottom right): A tall mustachioed man stands looking down at the ground with a mildly impressed expression, two bubbles reading "NICE JOB" and "YOU MADE IT THE FULL FIFTY YARDS." In the background, Scott is visible collapsed flat on the ground, apparently having crossed the finish line and immediately face-planted.

    The Race

  • A single-panel color comic strip labeled "WEIRD WEDNESDAY" in the top right corner, credited to SCOTTGALLATIN.COM in the bottom left. Set at night against a deep blue starfield above a dark forest treeline with mountains in the background. A large classic gray flying saucer hovers center-frame, its teal-lit cockpit dome glowing, beaming a bright cyan tractor beam downward. Caught in the beam, a gray camper van is being lifted off the ground. Two speech bubbles emanate from inside the camper: "HOTELS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE" and "LET'S RENT A CAMPER HE SAYS." A caption box in the lower right reads "A SLUGGO NEVER PASSES UP A FRESH BOX LUNCH."

  • 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

    True Love

    12 31 Aug 05, 2026

  • 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."

    12 26 Jul 27, 2026

  • 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."
