Cartoon Saturday

The Feds are spending 800 billion (yes, with a b) dollars of your money to bail out Wall Street, Galveston is still a mess, we actually have a candidate for vice president who believes creationism ought to be taught in schools, and my nose is still running like an illegal immigrant heading north from Mexico.

Now, more than ever, we all need Cartoon Saturday.

AAAARRRR!! Ye may not have known it, but yesterday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Avast yer scuppers and shiver yer mizzens and all that stuff...

Zero_zero_one now has his PhD in math and is making his way in the cruel world of job seeking. Perhaps sign painting may be right for him...

With Messrs Obama and McCain each trying to outdo the other in creative pandering to various interest groups, these two cartoons are pretty timely...


And finally, from the department of Scenes We'd Really Like to See...
Tomorrow, I'll return to real posts. Today, I face the daunting challenge of herding all the family cats to the studio for family pictures. You'll recognize me in them...I'm the one with the red, glistening nose.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that you got that cold after all. Hopefully it won't last too long.
