Cartoon Saturday


Four weeks down, one to go, and August is over. It's about time.

In Baghdad, a suicide bomber attacked the country's intelligence headquarters, killing at least two people and injuring ten others even as the death toll rose to 70 from an attack the day before in which suspected Shiite militiamen opened fire on worshipers at a Sunni Muslim mosque in northeast Iraq; a Chinese fighter jet brazenly conducted very aggressive and dangerous maneuvers within 20 feet of an American surveillance aircraft flying in international airspace over the South China Sea; a convoy of trucks has returned to Russia after delivering what Russia claimed was "humanitarian aid" to pro-Russian fighters in Ukraine; and Indian and Pakistani forces have traded fire yet again in the disputed Kashmir region, killing at least two people on each side.

There's more, but this ought to be enough to send you running for the cartoons.

Our collection of theme cartoons for this week deals with weddings ...

You need to be careful who writes your wedding vows ...


Wedding dresses for the modern day ...


Truth in vow advertising ...


Sometimes, it just doesn't last ...


I've wondered about this myself ...


So much for weddings. Let's move on to something else, like storage in heaven ...


She probably was expecting something else ...


Connectile dysfunction? ...


You just can't be too PC nowadays ...


And finally, I suppose adoption is adoption ...


And so it goes for the penultimate edition of Cartoon Saturday for August of 2014. It ought to be a good weekend here in NoVa. It started well last night when I had the pleasure of doing a bit of announcing for a party at my friend Lioudmila's dance studio in Alexandria (and, of course, getting in some good dancing), and it looks as if the weather might hold long enough for me to get some work done in the yard and get the car washed before things go meteorologically south. One can only hope.

Have a good day and a great weekend. Come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday.

I know for a fact the highway department has adopt-a-highway social workers. I've had them call me before.
