Mother Nature pounded much of the country this past week with blizzards, floods, and tornados; both of the bus routes I take to work are being proposed for elimination to help balance the county budget; a 14-year-old girl has been charged by police with posting nude photos of herself online; a "vast spying system" apparently based in China has systematically looted information from computers around the world; and an Army veteran was charged $3000 for treatment of wounds suffered in combat.
What more proof that you need Cartoon Saturday...even if it's on Sunday?
In last week's offering of cartoons using crash-test dummies, I somehow missed this classic:
We're always amazed at the proliferation of TV commercials hawking various drugs...especially when 80% of the air time is devoted to running down all the terrible side-effects the lawyers have to warn you about...
The idea itself isn't bad, but...
Getting old is bad enough, but when even the metaphors start taking a beating, you're in real trouble...
Another of those cartoons that I love because they put a bizarre twist on an ordinary situation or expression...
And finally, taking a poke - so to speak - at what mothers give up for their children. Or not.
For a few more good cartoons (including one I really wanted to use today, dammit), check out Mike's take on Cartoon Saturday.
Have a good day, and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts tomorrow.

Ha ha ha! The flies were hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a relaxing weekend at home.
Love the commercials (usually on the evening news) that detail all the side effects. Makes me excited about growing old!
ReplyDelete"the terrible side-effects"
ReplyDeleteThese commercials still blow my mind (doesn't happen in the UK )
YES your headache will go away and what's a little depression, nausea, liver failure, heart attack...sometimes even death, after all!

Definately well received...even on Sunday!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm really glad I didn't throw in the poopcoat one.
ReplyDeleteLOL at the last one. I needed that.
