Cartoon Saturday

Another week gone by ...

At least eight people were killed when an Amtrak passenger train derailed in Philadelphia while going around a curve at twice the safe speed; in North Korea, the Minister of Defense was reportedly executed by being shot by an antiaircraft cannon, in part for the heinous crime of dozing off during a meeting with Kim Jong Un; in Florida, a 16-month-old girl died after her father forgot to take her to day care and left her in the family car in outside temperatures reaching the low 90s; Dzhokrar Tsarnaev has been condemned to death for his role in the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013; and five Iranian boats fired shots across the bow of a Singapore-flagged cargo vessel in the Persian Gulf on Thursday in an apparent attempt to stop the ship.

Happy halfway-through-May!

This week, in honor of all the wonderful new ideas and solutions being put forward by our political elites*, our collection of theme cartoons features cavemen. Okay, cavepeople, to be PC about it ...

Checking out new homes, 1,000,000 B.C. ...

Some things never change for parents and grandparents through the years ...

In case you were wondering where the original idea came from ...

Gift advice, 1,000,000 B.C. ...

Cavewarming parties? ...

It's not a new idea, evidently ...

Turning to other topics, you have to know how to make the system work for you ...

I need this fellow's number ...

I think this is where I'd fit ...

When life gives you lemons ... or methane ... 

And so goes another Cartoon Saturday ... I hope you enjoyed it.

It's going to be a hot, muggy weekend here in NoVa. Later this morning I'll be going to the "International Day" festival at my granddaughter's school ... I asked her earlier this week what she was going to be doing in the show, and she said "nothing." Well, at least admission is free.

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