Cartoon Saturday

It just keeps getting better and better. Not ...

A 67 year-old woman in Utah was seriously injured when she drank iced tea that had been sweetened not with sugar, but with industrial cleanser; two popular supermarket chains - Albertson's and SuperValu - were hacked by Internet criminals who stole large amounts of customer credit and debit card information; Islamic extremist fighters from ISIS attacked a Yazidi village in Iraq, murdered at least 80 men and kidnapped 100 women; the aftermath of the killing of an unarmed black youth in a Missouri town has focused attention on the accumulation of heavy, military-style firepower by American local police forces; and beloved comedian and comic actor Robin Williams took his own life after a long battle with depression.

If I were a doctor, I'd prescribe a large dose of cartoons. And I'm no doctor, but I know what you need, anyway ...

This week's collection of theme cartoons deals with one of my favorite pastimes ... dancing!

It can contribute to crimes of passion ...

Some men are less adept than others at asking a lady to dance ... 

There are different kinds of dancing ...

And some who do it need a little more instruction than others ...

I've known people who need both types of instruction ...

Happily, I have never danced with any ladies like this ..

Turning to other topics, there are some pests that are tough to get rid of, even with professional help ...

And what sort of Cartoon Saturday would it be without a terrible pun cartoon? ...

I think we've identified the problem with many of our politicians ...

That problem with facts is largely what makes cartoons like this one funny ... in a sad sort of way ...

And there you have it, Dear Readers - yet another edition of Cartoon Saturday to help you recover from yet another week of dismal news. Today's weather here in NoVa is supposed to be beautiful, which will be nice for our granddaughter Leya's seventh birthday pool party.

It's good to be the Opa.

Have a good day. Be here tomorrow for Poetry Sunday.
