Cartoon Saturday


It's hard to believe that we're halfway through November, isn't it? ...

In its latest move in the new Cold War, Russia announced this week that it will being conducting routine bomber patrols in the Gulf of Mexico; allegations of rape continue to haunt beloved American comedian Bill Cosby; the Rosetta mission to land on the comet 67P was a partial success after the Philae lander bounced on the surface several times and landed in the shadow of cliffs that prevented its solar panels from recharging the batteries on which it depends; and according to unconfirmed news reports, the U.S. Marshals Service is using aircraft launched from at least five airports to collect cell phone data - from law-abiding Americans as well as criminal suspects - which will help locate fugitives.

As we prepare for Thanksgiving, in honor of the side dishes that go along with the turkey, our collection of theme cartoons for this week features the famous character of Mr Potato Head ...

I suppose he had a living will ...


Even a potato needs a good lawyer nowadays ...


And an eye doctor ... potatoes have a lot of eyes, after all ...


Busted! ...


Even a potato needs to worry about its diet, or so it seems ...


And a high-tech potato can have some low-tech issues ...


Turning to other random cartoons, I thought this was the ultimate in steampunk ...


Your awful pun for the week ...


This one is for Kathy and Melissa ...


The Three Stooges of the Amazon ...


And there you have it - your second Cartoon Saturday for November, 2014.

Cold enough for you? If you're living in the upper midwest or the northeast, it probably is. It's so cold here in NoVa that the politicians and lawyers are standing around with their hands in their own pockets, and it's going to get colder in the coming week. I can hardly wait.

Have a good day and a great weekend. See you back here tomorrow for Poetry Sunday.

After the last election I can't help but feel we are being prepped for the fryer.
