Cartoon Saturday

It's been another helluva week ...

17 persons were murdered and many others wounded in a mass shooting at a Florida high school ... and the local FBI office apparently failed to act on a tip a month before the incident that the murderer was "a threat to life;" the Senate ended its debate on immigration reform without any action, a bipartisan compromise plan stymied by those who refuse to support any plan which did not incorporate all of Donald Trump's "four pillars" demands; attorney Michael Cohen said that he paid $130,000 of his own money to a porn actress who claimed she'd had an affair with Donald Trump, saying that "I will always protect Mr Trump;" and a federal grand jury has indicted 13 Russian individuals and three Russian entities on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States in connection with Russian interference in the 2016 election ... a result of the investigation that, you know, is "the single greatest witch hunt in American history."

This week's theme was suggested by the unveiling of the official portraits of former president Barack and former first lady Michelle Obama ...

When acoustic phonetics meets art ...

Uh, oh ...

Art can have its effect on the health of the artist as well ...

 

Art styles can be very specialized ...

When great artists meet ...

I have great expectations for the outcome of this dispute ...

Art as a reflection of society ...

As I was saying ...

I should have tried this approach when I was in college ...

The cost of education as reflected in art ...

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Musical Sunday continues with our homage to the Obama portraits. See you then.
