As I warned you yesterday, Agnes and I will be away for the weekend, and so I decided to move Cartoon Saturday up by a day so that you won't miss your weekly cartoon fix. Heaven knows we all need it ...
A section of a bridge in Green Bay, Wisconsin, sank two feet into the earth below, causing the roadway to dip and the bridge to be closed, snarling traffic; GOP Windbag-in-Chief Ted Cruz wasted more than 21 hours of Congress's and the nation's time in a useless speech highlighted by his reading of Dr Seuss's classic children's story Green Eggs and Ham; UK aviation authorities have accused both pilots of a Virgin Atlantic Airbus of sleeping during a transatlantic flight; murderous lunatics of the al-Qaeda affiliated group al-Shabaab slaughtered more than 65 people and injured nearly 200 more in an attack on a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya; and a report by the National Security Agency's inspector general documents about a dozen incidents in which NSA employees used their high-tech spy equipment to snoop on their lovers.
Boy, do we need the cartoons this week! ...
There are a lot of good cartoons out there about cavemen, and here are a few of them as our theme collection for the week ...
Even cave artists had to deal with critics* ...
I've been on hold for hundreds of thousands of years, too ... or at least it's seemed like it ...
I've been in clubs where this is not as funny as you might think ...
Today, we have Facebook. Back then, they had ... uh ... Facewall ...
I think this one is a classic ...
Moving away from the topic of cavemen, what happens when you need more cowbell, but don't have it? ...
Worried about the various 3-letter intelligence agencies secretly spying on you? Would this be better? ...
There are Holocaust deniers, climate change deniers, birthers, The-CIA-Actually-Carried-Out-9/11 Nuts, and conspiracy theorists of all sorts. How about this one? ...
GOP science ...
And finally for this week, it's such an obvious joke, but I've never seen it before ...
And there you have it ... September's last Cartoon Saturday, a whole day early. No need to thank me - I know you needed it.
Have a good day and a great weekend. The next post will either be on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning, depending on when we get back. I'll look forward to seeing you then.

* There's a great scene about this early in the classic Mel Brooks film, History of the World, Part 1.
Yay for cartoons!

ReplyDeleteScientists have an expression, to "dry lab" data to make the results fit expectations, especially if under pressure to publish (or perish).
Have a great weekend, Bilbo!
ReplyDeletePearl Harbor deniers. Now there's a group that's waiting to happen.
ReplyDeleteMike - there are actually Pearl Harbor deniers, sort of. They don't deny that it happened, but they blame it on a plot by FDR to goad the Japanese into attacking, providing him a pretext to get the US into World War II. But you're right ... it's only a matter of time before somebody kicks over that rock and the lunatics scurry out.
ReplyDeletePearl Harbor denyiers? The only ones I heard about were people who denied that there was a woman named Pearl Harbor.
ReplyDeleteShe lived in Birmingham.
