Between a Category 1 hurricane and a Category 6 presidency, it's been a heck of a week ...
Hurricane Florence crawled ashore in North Carolina, bringing storm surge, winds, and the potential to dump ten trillion gallons of rain on the state, while on the other side of the world, typhoon Mangkhut has devastated parts of the Philippines; former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort has entered a plea arrangement with the Justice Department in which he avoids further prosecution on federal crimes and agrees to cooperate with other investigations; thousands of people remain out of their homes near Boston after a series of devastating gas line explosions that killed at least one person and injured at least 23; and the temporary closure of an observatory in New Mexico has sparked wide-ranging speculation over its cause, especially after reports that the FBI was involved.
In the interest of being topical, I thought I'd offer some cartoons this week riffing on the subject of anonymity ... sadly, there aren't as many as I would have thought, so this week's selection is a bit shorter than usual.
That's not how this works, is it? ...
This is how it works ...
Anonymity is not always your friend ...
Everyone please take a seat ... or a creeper ...
Well, it would be, wouldn't it? ...
Who else do we know that will never admit to having any problems? ...
Hope that first guy doesn't stop suddenly ...
And that's it for this week. I thought I'd find a lot more cartoons on this topic in my collection than I did, but those I did find were, IMHO, pretty good. Hope you enjoyed them.
We are enjoying a relatively nice weekend here in NoVa, following our frantic preparations for the possible arrival of Hurricane Florence. I remember being here for Hurricane Isabel some years ago, which was bad enough, but nowhere near what we thought might happen this time. If you or your friends or loved ones are affected by Florence, I hope you are safe.
Have as good a weekend as you can, depending on where you live. See you tomorrow for more thoughts as Poetry Sunday returns.

Guy Fawkes was the only man to have entered Parliament with honest intentions.
