Cartoon Saturday


Speaking of scary things ...

Rock and Roll legend Antoine "Fats" Domino died this week at the age of 89; the National Park Service has proposed more than doubling the entrance fees at 17 popular national parks, including Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and Yellowstone, to help pay for infrastructure improvementsa judge in Portugal ruled that a man shouldn't have to serve jail time in the savage beating of his ex-wife, because she had "dishonored" him by her infidelity; the National Park Service is denying a permit to a group that has applied to place a 45-foot statue of a naked woman on the National Mall near the Washington Monument, because it exceeds height restrictions for temporary structures and could damage the turf; and in a party-line vote, House Republicans passed a GOP budget resolution that includes a $1.5-trillion deficit increase to fund tax cuts advocated by the Trump administration.

For our final Halloween-month Cartoon Saturday, we feature cartoons about the other walking dead - mummies ...

The old dust-and-grind ...


Oh, that's going to hurt ...


Yes, this would be embarrassing* ...


Awww** ...


I can see where this would be a problem ...


Well, what other sort of music would a mummy listen to? ...


True ...


I can see the problem ...


It's all in how you look at it ...


I always wondered about this when I watched the old mummy movies ...


And that's a wrap!

Have a good day and a great weekend ... more thoughts tomorrow, when we have our final Musical Sunday offering for this Halloween season.

* This was the idea behind one of the funniest and most original ballroom dance routines ever, danced by Nicholas Cotton and Maria Hansen. Watch it here.

** If you've never seen it, the episode of Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories titled "Mummy Daddy" is hysterical. Watch it here.

The badly timed movie chase still goes on today in TV cop chases.
