Cartoon Saturday

Thank you, but we have all the snow we need.

In the final GOP "debate" before the Iowa caucuses, Donald Trump petulantly dropped out and staged his own event after Faux News rejected his demand to remove anchor Megyn Kelly from the moderating panel; the State Department has decided not to release 22 e-mails from former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, claiming they contain Top Secret information; according to Pentagon sources, a Russian fighter jet came within 15 feet of a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance plane over the Black Sea in what the Pentagon is calling an "unsafe" incident; the occupation of a remote Oregon bird sanctuary by self-styled anti-government militants heated up this week when one of the militants was killed by police and a number of others were arrested; and Paul Kantner, a guitarist and one of the founding members of the 1960's psychedelic rock group Jefferson Airplane, died this week at the age of 74.

As we continue the recovery from Winter Storm Jonas - otherwise known as "Snowzilla," it seems appropriate to feature cartoons about snowmen ...

Punk snowman? ...

Criminal Minds meets a chilling new villain ...

One-upmanship applies to snowmen, too ...

Weight Watchers for snowmen? ...

Suuuuurrrrreeee it is ...

Ouch ...

You can't be too careful ...

The cold, hard figures ...

Would that be a rhinocarrotoplasty? ...

You can't be too careful, part 2 ...

And so goes our last Cartoon Saturday for January, 2016. This weekend promises to be considerably different from last weekend ... one week ago today, we were hunkered down in blizzard conditions; today, the temperature will be in the 40's, headed to the 50's tomorrow and possibly into the 60's on Monday. You've gotta love NoVa weather. Actually, no you don't.

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