@xarvos 👍Yes, a direct reference to that, and also to the famous "Our house is on fire" quote of Greta Thunberg.

@davidrevoy @xarvos Which is a nice quote although I often feel like part of the reason for inaction/dismissal is just "Bah, it always happens to others/elsewhere"

@davidrevoy @xarvos i had to look again to see if your brown dog had a hat

@davidrevoy Thank you for this very apt piece of social commentary.
Nothing to laugh or smile about this time. Beautiful drawings, as always.
"But ... don't you see it?" hit hard.

@hardy Thank you for reading. I probably experienced an overwhelming emotional response over the last day. The smoke from a forest fire 300 km away filled my valley, one of my cats had to go to the vet because he has a weak heart and the heatwave almost killed him (he's fine now, this is one: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1075/diy-digital-stethoscope-for-cats). On the train back from Paris, an old man said, "It was like that in 1976 too".
I just took my laptop and furiously typed out this story...

@davidrevoy @hardy oh not the '76, I'm so done with people mentioning '76.
Basically every year of my life has been a record summer yet it's always been ‘well it was worse in 76’ ‘we did okay in 76’ ‘it's barely warmer than 76’ .
Like okay we get it you had **one** hot year when you were a kid or whatever. _Its hot every year now_.
Once in a century has become an annual event how do you not see this is a problem????

I would have seen his face when remembering him that in 1976 rich people had to pay a "drought tax" to help the agricultural sector.
@davidrevoy I completely understand. Good thing for all of us that you were able to turn what could have been an angry rant into something beautiful instead. Highly appreciated.
@davidrevoy Pas fan de la dernière case, ça n'a rien à voir avec une quelconque "folie", laissons les fols en dehors de ça voulez-vous ?

@ZoidbergForPresident Au contraire, je pense que c'est un phénomène de délire de masse pour divers raisons et pathologies non traités (eg. des psychoses ordinaire sous jacente et différent niveau de paranoïas)
(edit: ensuite, je respecte votre gout de pas être fan, pas de soucis, et je n'ai pas voulu offensé quiconque en cours de traitement ou concerné par le signe du doigt autour de la tempe. Ho la que non.)

@davidrevoy J'vois pas l'intérêt de verser dans la psychophobie pour démontrer le non sens du bouzin, c'est tout. bizoo
1
@ZoidbergForPresident Je vous rassure, pas de psychophobie ou psychoshaming ici (loin de là, même la démarche inverse).
@davidrevoy hm... looks like genAI to me /s 😉

@tinsuke Thank you for the little "/s" at the end 😆

@davidrevoy damn, I'm sorry.
I know you understood the joke related to your previous post:
https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/116941001377913004
But I can't help but think that this might have caused some quick distress before getting to the ”/s” at the end. Sorry about that.
And stuff like this just make me wanna support your awesome work (in nature, process ans output):

So I just went ahead and ordered the Pepper & Carrot collection (was on my wish list, just needed a nudge!) to read to my kids.
Thanks for your inspiring work & ethics!

@tinsuke Thank you very much 
@davidrevoy I literally peeled off a fasch sticker today insinuating that the climate collapse is "green propaganda" and a hot summer is all fine and dandy, so this is frightingly timely 🤢

@jfml I feel it. I wrote this one after being confronted also to situation on my trip back from Paris.
How some people respond delusionally to any stressful 'global' situation... In this comic, the first guy diminishes the effect, the woman in second solves the problem selfishly with money (the higher class dodging the issue with their resources), and the last dog-man blames a minority (racism).
2
A huge amount of art will be created by future generations just to process what the hell happened to us right now.
Think about how much has been done and written about all our past self-inflicted disasters. That's us now.
@davidrevoy @jfml
ah, I thought it’s a symbol for „Lügenpresse“
@davidrevoy oh and also: "There is no war in Ba Sing Se"

@leah @davidrevoy Well, "that's rough buddy!"

@davidrevoy
Satire has to run fast to keep up with reality these days. (the photo shown in the link is destined to be iconic)
1
@arfisk True. This photo was taken on a nearby region where I live; the smoke filled my valley during a full day. The media here are in loop about it, I listened to that while painting this comic...
1
@davidrevoy We know all about the smoke in Australia! It gives me serious flashbacks to new years day in 2020, when SE Australia was an inferno, and hundreds were trapped in the coastal town of Marlo. (Fortunately the main front missed the township proper)
The only good that came out was a lot of foxhole conversions.
Too bad we can't just leave.
1
@knodel Yes, the part where she leaves away flying is the total fiction in this comic. Sadly, we have to endure those @$%#@
@davidrevoy Oof! I feel so bad for the people in Europe when the weather gets like this. It used to be so rare, and now it seems like it's happening every year, sometimes multiple times. The people saying, "Just get an AC" feel so callous.
This reminded me of a commercial I see a lot on my left-leaning TV channel. I think you might appreciate it.

@ToonLink Thank you for sharing, gold lines of dialog on this animation! 🤣
@davidrevoy I know you're talking about global warming, but one time at my job at a picture frame shop, there was a massive fire on the same block (not our building, but about three storefronts down) and my boss wouldn't let us go home early or even make a plan to evacuate the art.
Spent all day telling customers over the phone not to come down because the road out front was completely blocked off with fire trucks.
1
@pencilears Oh no. Yes, the allegory is about Global Warming/Climate Change, but it is also broad enough for many topics. The real main topic is about the delusional response of people refusing to see the emergency, so your experience totally matches that.
@davidrevoy Ha! Pure fantasy. Has nothing to so with real events! ;-)

@Jalella *wink* *wink* 🙂
@davidrevoy "Well okay, there are some scattered flames... but that's all part of the natural cycle! We've had fires before and survived, and anyway it's not our fault and there's nothing we can do about it."
1
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org
Not understanding your reference for there's no fire here if , the fire is about south Europe. but if about fire in the Middle East then it makes sense
1
@spirillen Many topics. The fire is just a metaphor.
@davidrevoy I'm tempted to put the last panel as a comment to every news about heatwaves, drout, wildfire etc. - it's such a bad "told you so"-moment for scientists worldwide. And in Germany our gov is killing renewable energies... again... 😭
