Cartoon Saturday

North Korea has shelled a South Korean island, killing military personnel and civilians while petulantly shrieking that the South Koreans are driving them to the brink of war; President Obama received twelve stitches to his lip after being elbowed during a basketball game with family members and friends; after the European Union stepped in with a huge loan to bail out insolvent Irish banks, the European debt crisis is escalating as Spain and Portugal teeter on the brink of bankruptcy; according to a report submitted to the Federal Election Commission, the Republican party has already spent $636,800 - 18 times the amount spent in a comparable period four years ago - on its convention for the 2012 presidential election; and the unstoppable terpsichorean team of Jennifer Gray and Derek Hough finally edged out Bristol Palin and Kyle Massey to win season 11 of Dancing with the Stars.

Is that lady hot, or what?

But now it's time for Cartoon Saturday to help you cope with it all - and this week, with bonus cartoons to make up for last week's hiatus while we were family reunioning. How much better does it get?

We lead off with two cartoons offering different takes on the same punch line...

And...
I'm amazed it took this long for someone to come up with this awful pun-based cartoon ...

Have you ever had the experience of having a posed photo shot against a blank background that, when you see the end result, has magically changed into a scene that wasn't there before? Here's how one cartoonist looked at it ...

Naughty pine and memory foam - a combination made in cartoon heaven ...

The virtual Thanksgiving ... what happens when you indulge in too many bytes ...

The baby isn't the only thing that's kicking ...

Every day I can relate more and more to this one ...

If only organized religion could be this funny ...

And finally, sooner or later everybody gets tired of all the ... well ... you know ...

Thanksgiving is over for another year, and I hope you and your family enjoyed it as much as Agnes and I did. Twice. But now it's time to put Thanksgiving behind us (yes, including on the backside!) and start getting ready for Christmas. There's the annual letter to be written, cards to be addressed and mailed, gifts to be purchased, decorations to be put up, cookies to be baked, and ...

I think I'll go back to bed.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.
