Cartoon Saturday


And away we go ...

Representative John Conyers (D, MI) retired from Congress after allegations of sexual misconduct, even as calls by Democratic senators for Al Franken to resign increased; after weeks of vacillating, the GOP establishment has closed ranks and fully endorsed Roy Moore for the vacant Alabama Senate seat, deciding it was more important for a Republican - accused by multiple, credible witnesses of sexual misconduct with underaged women - to win than any Democrat; the International Olympic Committee has banned Russia from competition in the 2018 Winter Olympics following allegations of widespread state-sponsored doping of Russian athletes at the 2014 games hosted by Russia; and Donald Trump upended decades of US policy and threatened to inflame regional tensions when he announced plans this week to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move the US embassy there.

This week, in honor of sticky situations, how about some cartoons about stick figures ...

The right weapon is necessary for the best defense ...


But you need to be careful with that non-stick spray ...


Jealousy ...


But is the ink covered by his medical insurance? ... 


When stick figures fence ...


CSI Pencil ...


I know how he feels ...


Less expensive than the gym ...


The magician leaves a clue ...


When art therapy doesn't work ... 


It's going to be a cold and blustery weekend here in NoVa, although the nasty white stuff* we were expecting seems not to have materialized so far, thank goodness. We're planning a quiet weekend at Chez Bilbo, in the hopes that reality does not intervene, as it is wont to do.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and don't forget to cast your votes for the Ass Clown of the Year. More thoughts tomorrow on Musical Sunday, featuring some classy Christmas music.

A new genre: stick figure humor.

I need to find one of those gym pencils with the magic eraser.

I sent Doug Jones ten bucks yesterday. My contribution against a pedophile.

Another fine week. Always a pleasure.

10 votes for Roy Moore. He's only qualified to be an ass clown. And 5 votes for those who support him. The man belongs nowhere near any branch of government, unless it's as a defendant.

It's nice how stick figures can lose weight!
