Gary Varvel: AI and the Class of 2026
Gen-Z graduation, a redistricting backfire and a new Humor Me cartoon. Paid subscribers get a graduation cartoon from my archives.
Introducing the Class of 2026: Prompt Engineers and Gamers
Welcome to the stage the Gen Z Class of 2026, the first official graduates of the AI era. They are more than happy to let ChatGPT write their finals, yet they’re simultaneously terrified the algorithm is coming for their future entry-level jobs. To cope with the impending corporate dystopia, they are, like, frantically building “personal brands” and farming clout on TikTok. It’s a solid backup plan, assuming they can focus long enough to execute it—studies show their attention spans are officially at an all-time low thanks to social media.

Democrats’ redistricting plans backfired in several courts recently. Leave it to modern partisan cartography to turn a weapon of mass election into a self-inflicted blunt force trauma.
