Welcome to June ... I'm glad to see the backside of May.
Tornados continued to lash the nation's midsection, while the west and southwest suffered outbreaks of devastating wildfires; an asteroid large enough to have its own moon brushed past the earth ... had it hit in a populated area, it might have done as much damage as Congress; two FBI agents were killed during a hostage rescue exercise; in Maine, a man who used a fake Facebook account to lure a girl out of her home to stage a kidnapping so that he could eventually rescue her and become a hero, ended up killing her; and in India, a speeding train struck and killed three elephants and left a fourth in critical condition.
I hope June is better. But I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Let's just do the cartoons.
In last Thursday's post, I talked about puns. And darned if one of the most groan-inducing puns* in recent memory didn't pop up the next day ...
For our collection of theme cartoons for this week, how about one of my favorite subjects - dancing!
I sometimes encourage the ladies to wear chain mail pantyhose for just this reason ...
Some people just aren't cut out to be dancers ...
It can be difficult for a new male dancer ... he had to keep the rhythm, pick the patterns, navigate around the floor, lead his partner, AND look like it's all effortless. Sometimes, it just doesn't all come together ...
Almost caught him ...
And for our final dance-related cartoon, there are some dance styles even I don't really like ...
We round out this week with a cartoon that summarizes the post-retirement job I think I'd really like to have ...
And that's it for our first Cartoon Saturday for the month of June. This should be a fun weekend - later this morning, Agnes and I will be meeting fellow blogger (and online Scrabble opponent) Kathy and her husband for lunch at a restaurant in DC we've been anxious to try, and we'll probably spend Sunday being driven to the very edge of exhaustion by our grandchildren.
Life's good.
Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.

* It's a double-threat pun: both compound and homophonic!
You posted some really funny dance-themed cartoons today. I especially liked the dancing chess player and the guy waltzing out of the bar earlier.
ReplyDeleteHappy June, Bilbo!
Excellent cartoon choices, as usual. I too had seen the Escher one and thought it hysterical.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
I gnu you would use that toon.
ReplyDeleteAlways good for a bad pun...

ReplyDeleteSometimes gnus is good news!
