Cartoon Saturday

Welcome to the last Cartoon Saturday of September. About time, isn't it?

Protests broke out once again in Ferguson, Missouri, after the chief of police apologized for the killing of Michael Brown by one of his officers; the FBI and British intelligence services believe they have identified the masked ISIS thug who murdered correspondent James Foley on camera in a notorious YouTube video; the Pennsylvania attorney general's office has blamed a former state prison clerk for her own rape; a man in New Mexico has been arrested after he was caught on film stabbing another man in an argument over a parking space*; and Apple has issued an apology after learning that faults in its new operating system resulted in some new iPhone 6's being unable to actually make phone calls.

Crime is no laughing matter ... except when our theme cartoons for the week deal with crime and criminals.

Some criminals are dumber than others ...

Some criminals moonlight with other jobs to make ends meet ...

And some other people moonlight as criminals ...

There's organized crime and there's ...

Everybody's getting on the PC bandwagon ...

Criminals use different techniques to get what they want ...

And some threats work better than others ...

On to new topics ... artist Andy Warhol reportedly once said that in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. Nowadays, with YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, there's a different way to look at it ...

This one's pretty obvious, but I've never seen it used before ...

And finally for this week, most husbands can probably relate to this one ...

And there you have it - an edition of Cartoon Saturday to help ease you out of the month of September. One can only hope that October will be better.

Have a good day and a great weekend ... the weather here in NoVa is supposed to be great through the weekend, which will certainly help it along for us. Hope yours is good, too.

See you tomorrow for Poetry Sunday.
