Cartoon Saturday

Sometimes you'd think the weekend would never get here ...

A group of street artists hired to scrawl Arabic graffiti on sets for the TV series "Homeland" caused a stir when it was realized that the graffiti accused the show of being racist; former NBA star Lamar Odom remains in critical condition in a hospital after being found unresponsive in a Nevada brothel;
Wayne Simmons, a Faux News recurring guest commentator who claimed to have 27 years of experience with the CIA, was arrested after being indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that he lied about his service; astronomers are puzzled about a strange anomaly that could indicate an alien construction around a star some 1500 light years from earth; and six persons were injured in Houston when a huge section of scaffolding collapsed outside a building under construction.

And we're only halfway through October ... better call up the cartoons quick! Halloween is just two weeks away, and I thought that this year we'd celebrate a bit larger, with three weeks of Halloween-themed Cartoon Saturdays. We'll start our countdown to Halloween with cartoons featuring zombies ...

Don't be afraid ... it's all how you look at them ...

The walking dead insects ... 

Don't get zombie fathers angry ... you wouldn't like them when they're angry ...

Zombie women can be touchy ...

Everybody can find something to complain about ... even zombies ...

Slow and lurchy ... uh ... steady wins the race ...

Just what the doctor ordered ...

It can be tough to be a zombie on a budget ...

Well, how else would you express it? ...

The importance of good pronunciation ...

And there you have it ... the first of our three monster-themed Cartoon Saturdays leading up to Halloween. Next week, we'll suck up to the vampires.

It's going to be a chilly weekend here in NoVa, but at least it's sunny ... should be a good day for raking leaves. Or for a nice long walk, or for sitting out on the deck with a cup of mulled cider and reading ... either of which strikes me as being a better idea.

Have a good day, and come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday. More thoughts then.
