I was a bit obsessive with the news when Russia first invaded Ukraine. That obsession inspired this little comic.

Text at the top says: I want to know it ALL! And I want to know it NOW!
Below is an illustration of a woman looking at a large tablet. She is looking quizzically and wearing a blue shirt. Illustration is very loose and messy and the tablet is made out of a collaged piece of paper.

Text at the top says: What is Putin thinking? Who killed Jon Tenet?
Illustration shows a bubble (a thought bubble) with magazine covers, including “Who killed Jon Tenet” with her face on it, another one called “Trump lies A to Z” with a man with a collaged bit of paper to represent orange hair. There is also, “Is Johnny Depp Lying? (He Must Be!),” “Inside Putin’s Brain,” What was life like in 1321?” And “The inside of the KGB.”

Text at the top says, “Where did Amelia Earhart go? Will we solve climate change? Is there life on other planets? Why is my dog looking at me like that?!
Illustration shows a woman with flight goggles saying “hi!,” a collaged world that is saying “You did it! You saved me!,” some collaged green columns saying “We’ve been watching you for years, we come in peace,” and a black dog drawn in curlycues looking quizzically at the viewer.

The text at the top says, “I want to know what’s true, what’s fake, what’s foggy, and why.” The illustration shows a blonde woman looking anxious, with a thought bubble that says, “Too much uncertainty! Help me understand!” Around the thought bubble are more collaged bits and lots of question marks.

The text at the top says: If it’s unknowable, I want to know that. If it’s unpredictable to the experts, I want to know that text. The illustration shows the blonde woman looking at a book called “Expert perspectives” with other books called “primary sources” sitting next to her.

Text says: I like to think that when we die, we get to know everything. As if, instantly, you’re gone from this world, but now you get to know the truth behind all the secrets, things lots to history, the mysteries, the future. Illustration shows a gravestone that says “R.I.P. Now I get to know everything.” Next to the gravestone is the blonde woman saying, “Tell me Grandma, what have you learned?”

Text on this page says, “But I don’t want to wait until then to learn everything. Tell me the secrets! What aren’t they saying? What don’t I understand? Illustration shows the blonde woman with a big smile, saying “I’m all ears.” Her ears are very prominent because they are collaged pieces of paper that stand out on top of the ink drawing.

Text on this page says, “I want to know it all, and I want to know it now, so that I can make better decisions, understand the nuances, and satiate my curiosity.”

Illustration shows the blonde woman with her brain opened up. We see collaged bits of paper representing her brain, and she is grabbing at it. Next to her, it says “I’ll just store all the info here so I can use it…”

This page says, “I want to know it all!” This illustration reuses illustrations from prior pages of the woman.
