Day 20,360

Prompt – “R.I.P.” And so ends another season with Mab! I preloaded quite a bit this year, starting in September, but it was the only way I could get drawings out on a daily basis. I went with this as a companion piece to yesterday’s ghost, given that it was the haunted tank, and I want to make it perfectly clear that I in no way support the Confederacy. There are far too many memorials to traitors in this neck of the woods, both in Maryland and Virginia. Confederate memorials began to appear in public places in the United States in the early 20th century, and the number of memorials increased during the Jim Crow era. The timing and location of these monuments suggest that they were a response to Black Americans gaining political power and freedom. The United Daughters of the Confederacy sponsored many of these monuments, which were often built on courthouse grounds and other government office grounds.
