Cartoon Saturday

Here we go again ...

Donald Trump met with his new boss at their first sit-down meeting on the sidelines at the G-20 meeting in Hamburg, Germany, on Friday; new strains of gonorrhea are proving to be "smart" in adapting to antibiotic treatment, and are exceptionally difficult to cure; bowing to the inevitable, Senate majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that if Republican Obamacare replacement legislation, as expected, dies in the Senate, the GOP-led Congress will need to take action it has so far avoided to shore up Obamacare-related insurance markets; North Korea launched its first long-range missile with the capability to strike parts of the continental United States, leading to the usual round of complaints that there are no good options* for dealing with the Hermit Kingdom; and the House of Representatives sprang into action on a critical issue that Americans are very concerned about, enforcing a dress code that prevents women from wearing sleeveless dresses**.

This week, in response to the administration's general favoring of business interests over those of working stiffs, I thought that a collection of cartoons dedicated to galley slaves might be appropriate ...

I've worked in places like this ...

Thank goodness for Casual Fridays ...

When Eskimos travel by boat rather than dogsled ...

There are good ways to save money on travel, and bad ways to save money on travel ...

Arriving for work ...

It's always a good idea to check out the travel agent before you let them book your vacation ...

And it's also a good idea to check your seating whenever possible ...

Now this is brutal ...

Even the galley slaves have to pay attention ...

It might have helped with upward mobility on the crew ...

And that's it for this edition of Cartoon Saturday - Michael can finish rowing that boat ashore now.

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

* I could almost agree with Charles Krauthammer on this one ... much as I hate to agree with him on much of anything.

** In the GOP view, they are apparently not considered "appropriate business attire."
