Cartoon Saturday

The weekend is here, and we're not at war with North Korea. Yet.

Former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, convicted of murder in 2015, committed suicide in prison; Donald Trump has claimed immunity in a lawsuit alleging that he incited violence at one of his campaign rallies, claiming that as president, he cannot be sued; a huge garbage dump in Colombo, Sri Lanka, collapsed, killing dozens of people and burying neighboring homes under what was described as a "tsunami of garbage;" a cargo ship with twelve people on board broke apart and sank during a storm in the Black Sea; and British Prime Minister Teresa May announced plans to hold a "snap election" to gain an improved mandate for the UK's exit from the European Union.

This week, let's take our minds off all the bad news with a collection of cartoons about symbols ...

There's no numeric monster in the closet, right? ...

At least George doesn't fall flat ...

When counseling needs to be part of the equation ...

Pi can have real problems with Twitter ...

I wish I had a dime for every time I've seen "angel" misspelled as "angle" ...

Another pi-related cartoon ...

What the #%*!@ is that supposed to mean? ...

Oy ...

I thought the ellipsis the circular street in front of the White House ...

Well, the Bible did say something about being fruitful and multiplying, right? ...

And so we come to the end of another Cartoon Saturday. I hope this collection has helped you get over the misery of the past week. Later this morning, Agnes and I will be enjoying a sushi lunch with our old friends Ken and Nadja ... it's been a long time since we saw Ken and Nadja and a long time since we've had sushi - it's a win-win!

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Poetry Sunday returns.
