Another Valentine's Day is past, and February is half over. Only three years and eleven months until the election, not that I'm counting.
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn resigned* after charges arose that he had illegal policy discussions with the Russian ambassador to the US before Donald Trump became president; after removing them last October, Playboy magazine will begin publishing nude photographs again; NASA has named a winner in its competition to develop a way to manage excess ... uh ... feces trapped in astronauts' space suits**; the half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il was murdered in Malaysia, and Malaysian authorities refused to return the body to North Korea without DNA proof of the man's identity; and the American Girl*** doll series has released its first male doll - Logan Everett.
Since Mr Trump and his minions have everyone in a tizzy over aliens, illegal and otherwise, I thought that this week's cartoon selection should feature some ...
It's nice that they have special abduction plans. I wonder if the implanted devices are covered ...
Nothing like looking on the bright side ...
Now this is an alien abduction ...
We interrupt this program ...
There are monoliths, and there are monoliths ...
Upwardly mobile aliens ...
It's not always the humans who who are harmed by alien contact, as the next three cartoons demonstrate ...
and ...
and ...
Timing is everything ...
And there you have it - the Alien Edition of Cartoon Saturday. Don't tell ICE.
It looks like it's going to be a nice weekend weather-wise, at least here in NoVa, where many are looking forward to a long weekend for the Presidents Day holiday. The meteorological prognosticators are starting to suggest that we will not have a winter this year ... which probably means that we'll have about 18 inches of snow for the Fourth of July. Sigh.
Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow on Musical Sunday.

Monoliths indeed. Think about a future alien race discovering an outhouse and wondering why we saved our poop in a hole in the ground.
The election is sooner than you think - it's in November 2020. The next *Inauguration* is 3 years and 11 months away.
Referring to Mike's example, aliens might conclude that we worship poop or that it is some resource to be saved. They might also conclude that televisions are the dominant life form on Earth. Which, in a way, it is.
Good laughs! Thanks!
