Cartoon Saturday

Welcome to the first weekend in October ...

A year-long investigative report published in the New York Times this week has cast fresh doubt on Donald Trump's image as a self-made business tycoon; Donald Trump provoked outrage across the country and around the world - including among key Congressional Republicans - when he openly mocked Dr Christine Blasey Ford at a raucous campaign rally; the first nationwide "presidential alert" was transmitted to millions of innocent cell phones nationwide on Wednesday; the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Friday to send the nomination of Judge Bret Kavanaugh to the full Senate for an almost-certainly successful confirmation vote as early as Saturday; and in Chicago, a white police officer has been found guilty of murder in the death of a black teenager he shot 16 times.

This month, as part of my effort to distract you from the ongoing horror show that is our national government, all four Cartoon Saturdays will feature cartoons about various monsters and other scary things. We begin with this look at the ... uh ... lighter side of Godzilla ...

Time catches up with all of us ...

I've not met very many celebrities, but I have to admit that I didn't recognize most of them ...

Oops ... but then, it even happens to people like Mr Trump ...

Stepping on a Lego brick is bad enough, but ...

Something else wind farms are good for ...

Even gigantic monsters don't always watch their diets ...

Watch where you step ...

Best pun of the week ...

True ...

Why Republican monsters hate intrusive government ...

And there you have it - the kickoff round of our Cartoon Saturday Halloween Extravaganza. I hope you enjoyed it, and it took your mind off the horror of the Trump administration ... at least for a while.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for a Musical Sunday visit with Michael Jackson. More thoughts then.
