Cartoon Saturday

As we continue to lurch and reel drunkenly toward November 6th ...

Hurricane Matthew continued its slow and destructive march up the East Coast of the United States; Carl Ferrer, CEO of Backpage, a website that has been accused of allowing ads for child sex trafficking, was arrested Thursday in Texas on charges which included pimping children; more than 40 Afghan security force members training in the US have deserted their training and disappeared since last year, according to US military sources; the Russian Defense Ministry threatened to shoot down US aircraft attacking forces of President Asad in Syria; and Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos received this year's Nobel Peace Prize for his attempts to broker peace between the leftist FARC militia and the Colombian government, even as Colombian voters rejected the proposed peace accord.

It probably is how they see us ...

Doctors can be such spoil-sports ...

We're less than a month out from the presidential election ... I hope you've had a few good laughs this morning to take your mind off the miserable campaign.

There are three more Saturdays before Halloween, and so the next three iterations of Cartoon Saturday will feature scary topics ... coming up next Saturday, October 15th, we'll have a collection of cartoons about vampires. And I promise they won't suck.

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