Cartoon Saturday

Time marches on ... with hobnailed boots.

We're two weeks into September and halfway through my father-in-law's visit from Germany. While he's here, I don't have the time to do the usual Cartoon Saturday news summary, but I need the cartoons as much as everybody else, so let's get to them ...

This week's collection of theme cartoons celebrates that marvelous invention that we didn't know we couldn't live without ... the Global Positioning System, or GPS.

You can do things without going too high-tech, as the Amish have found out ...

GPS works for crash-test dummies, too ... more or less ...

Sometimes the programming is very simple ...

And sometimes, the programming is simple without going in straight lines ...

GPS is getting better and more specialized all the time ...

Dethany Dendrobia, the lovable corporate goth from "On the Fastrack" is one of my favorite cartoon characters ... with her own specialized GPS in her customized hearse ...

So much for GPS ... how about a few other assorted cartoons to round things out. As those who know me well can attest, proud grandparents can be a little tiresome sometimes ...

Keeping it all in the family ...

This is the sort of advice I can see my granddaughter Elise giving me when she digs out her doctor play set ...

And finally, sometimes one can go overboard with the latest fads ...

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