Cartoon Saturday


They say that March goes in like a lion and out like a lamb. I think we need to check someone's definition of "lamb."

Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States has refused to rule out the possibility of the kingdom developing its own nuclear weapons if Iran also develops them*; the copilot of a German airliner apparently locked the pilot out of the cockpit, then deliberately crashed the aircraft into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board; an explosion apparently caused by a gas leak destroyed a building in Manhattan's East Village, injuring at least 19 people; the Boulder County, Colorado, prosecutor announced that a former nurse's aide who allegedly attacked a pregnant woman, cut her open, and removed an unborn baby from the mother's womb will not face murder charges because Colorado state law does not recognize a fetus as a person; and in the latest example of Congressional hypocrisy, two GOP senators - Marco Rubio of Florida and Jim Jordan of Ohio, who would normally rail against Big Government interference in local affairs - have introduced legislation that would undo strict gun control laws passed by the District of Columbia's government.

This week's collection of theme cartoons deals with fortune tellers ... no, not economists, the other kind.

Don't you sometimes wish for truth in fortune cookies?


Bowling for fortunes?


At least there isn't a Colonel named Sanders in her future ...


How politicians get into the business ...


Medium salsa ... over to you, Gonzo Dave ...


Turning to other cartoon subjects, it's Spring Break season ...


No evidence ... sounds like the basis of the Faux News scandal du jour ...


This one reminds me of one of my favorite posts - The Degree of Gasp ...


The one that got away ...


And finally, I think this is an affliction that affects most members of Congress and those who slavishly follow a particular point of view ...


And there you have it - the last Cartoon Saturday for March. Hope you enjoyed it. Later this morning, Agnes and I will be headed to our daughter's home for the fifth (already???) birthday party for our granddaughter Elise. Time flies, doesn't it?

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

* Great news - two religiously intolerant and fanatical nuclear armed states ... what could possibly go wrong? No, don't answer that ... next thing you'll know, Texas will allow open carry of nukes.

Great cartoons! That was a clever pun on the word medium.

I had to look up the word chumming. Apt!

The politician and corruption is great, and the last one on thinking is definitely apt for our Congress. Enjoy the birthday party!

I'll just give you the punchline; you can fill in the rest of the joke yourself: "She was a small medium at large."

That's the best thing about going to the beach. Getting chummed.

That puts mediums in a new light.

Good advice for the budding corruptee.

Remember: the only thing that stops a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke...

Thanks for the cartoons!
