Cartoon Saturday

It's been a long week and the weekend promises colder temperatures, rain, and ... yes ... snow. Oy.

In Atlanta, a man was arrested and charged with aggravated battery after police said he dumped scalding water on a same-sex couple as they slept; eight sailors on the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower were injured Friday when the arresting gear that catches landing airplanes broke on the deck of the ship during a landing; a construction worker in Los Angeles was killed when he fell 53 stories from a skyscraper under construction and landed on a moving car; pop entertainer Madonna has come in for heavy criticism after an incident in a concert in Australia in which she invited a young woman onto the stage, then pulled her top down to expose her breast; and Donald Trump*.

Although cold, rain, and wet snow are predicted for today and tomorrow here in NoVa, the last few days have been very nice. The birds singing happily in the trees inspired this week's cartoon theme ...

If birds had restaurants ...

and ...

Do mother birds have brag books? ...

Two riffs on a theme ... here's number one (so to speak) ...

and here's number two (so to speak) ...

It's obvious, but still funny ...

Sad, but true ...

Hmmm ... an avian conspiracy theory?

Another one that's obvious, but still funny ...

Tarzan of the pigeons? ...

And there you have it for this week's edition of Cartoon Saturday. Later today we'll be meeting our friends Ken and Nadja for lunch, followed by a pleasant weekend of household chores. This swinging lifestyle will be the death of me yet.

Have a good day and a great weekend ... and if you live in the DC/Maryland/NoVa area, stay warm and dry. And, of course, come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday. More thoughts then.
