Cartoon Saturday

And what a week it's been ...

Sending a clear message to those who might be in legal jeopardy because of their relationships with him, Donald Trump began issuing politically-motivated pardons this week, including to conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza, convicted of campaign finance law violations; Roseanne Barr's show was cancelled and she was fired by ABC after she sent a crudely racist tweet ... and not to be outdone, TV figure Samantha Bee used an unforgivably crude and vile term to refer to First Daughter Ivanka Trump; dissident Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko faked his death on Tuesday as part of a sting operation with Ukrainian authorities to foil an alleged Russian assassination plot; and the Trump administration has imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from key American allies, a move sure to anger his base when the price of tinfoil hats goes up.

This week, in honor of politicians and celebrities everywhere we feature cartoons about clowns.

It's a safety feature ...

Well, Donald Trump has demonstrated this ...

Appropriate naming convention ...

Plenty of need in the current administration, not to mention Congress ...

The physical ...

Planning ahead is a good thing ...

Really small ...

Why clowns can always use the HOV lanes ...

It's not a place for those suffering from coulrophobia ...

He wouldn't be, would he? 

That's it for this week, in which we remembered that not all clowns hold elective office, but that many do. Have a great weekend and come back tomorrow, when Musical Sunday brings you a great oldie from Andy Griffith. More thoughts then.
