Cartoon Saturday - the Valentine's Day Edition

And the beat(ing) goes on ...

Legendary comedian Sid Caesar passed away this past week, as did former child star and UN Ambassador Shirley Temple Black; a passenger aboard a British cruise ship was killed after the ship was hit by a "freak wave;" wealthy venture capitalist Tom Perkins suggested that only taxpayers should have the right to vote, and that those who pay more in taxes should get more votes; Taylor Swift cut her hair; and eight valuable vintage Chevrolet Corvettes fell into a 40-foot-wide, 20-foot-deep sinkhole that opened up in the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Oy.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. Love may be in short supply nowadays, but there are plenty of cartoons that can help us cope ...

Cupid is a key figure in many Valentine's Day cartoons ...

Shields up!! ...

It's always important to use the right tool for the job ...

Did you just feel a bump? ...

Chasing away annoying pests ...

Looking for love in all the right places ...

Two spins on the same theme ...

And ...

One learns to pace oneself in love ...

Good idea, bad execution ...

Agnes and I celebrate Valentine's Day ...

Truth in packaging ...

And that's it for another Cartoon Saturday and another Valentine's Day. If there are any typos in this post, blame it on the snow ... my fingers are in quite some pain from banging on ice with my snow shovel, and we won't even discuss how the rest of my baggy old body feels from shoveling away all that white stuff*.

Later today we'll enjoy a visit from the local grandchildren, to whom snow is a wonderful thing ... they being too small to have to help shovel it away. I think I'm ready for my second childhood.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow.

* More of which we're expecting today, after which - by Wednesday - the temperature is supposed to get up to 61 degrees (that would be 16 for you, Ross and Amanda). Climate change is a pain in the gazootie, as is getting old.
