Happy f**kin' New Year

For Lack of a Better Comic

“Benedicto: May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white sand beaches, where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you -- beyond that next turning of the canyon walls.”

Protesters Burn Down Dunkin’ Donuts In Response To Police Brutality

Protestors in New York City burned down a Dunkin' Donuts store last night in retaliation for the death of Eric Garner and other victims of police brutality.
According to local reports, several youths used Molotov cocktails to set fire to a branch of the venerable donut and coffee chain in Manhattan, believing its destruction would "punish" the police force. No one was injured in the blaze and four arrests were made.

"We needed to hit the police where it hurts," explains Damon Jackson, one of the perpetrators. "Donuts are the fuel that feeds the NYPD's machine of oppression.
"We tried the court system, and they didn't listen. We tried marching in the streets, and they didn't listen. Then we set fire to their donut supply. You better believe they're listening now."

Protests have occurred around the country in recent weeks over several instances of police killing unarmed black men. In the latest case, a New York grand jury refused to indict a police officer in the choking death of Garner, an unarmed asthmatic black man accused of illegally selling untaxed cigarettes.

Garner's choking is just one in a long line of similar incidences in which black men have been killed by while police officers, who subsequently go unpunished. In a statement published on its official Tumblr this morning, the police responded to the burning.
"The NYPD strongly condemns this heartless act of destruction," the organization wrote. "Donuts are a delicious snack enjoyed by millions around the world. Destroying a supply of these tasty treats isn't just an ordinary crime. It's a crime against humanity.

Mainstream protest organizers have condemned the Dunkin' Donuts fire as an unnecessary act of violence. However, they are planning a non-violent alternative to get these yummy pastries out of the hands of the police.

"It's well known that most people who work in commercial donut bakeries are low-income and minorities,"says civil rights activist Al Sharpton. "We're encouraging these people to go on strike, cutting off the supply of donuts at the source."

Polish Tattoo Artists Create World’s First Inked Motorcycle

While most modified motorbikes are adorned with tattoo motifs using an airbrush, The Recidivist is unique because its wheels, tank, seat and rear fender are completely covered in tattooed skin. This was achieved by engineering the bike with light colored leather similar to the color of human skin. Polish tattoo artists Tomasz Lech and Krzysztof Krolak then spent a whopping 250 hours inking the bike, using the tools of world-famous supplier Cheyenne Professional Tattoo Equipment. The project was commissioned by Game Over Cycles.
