Cartoon Saturday

Welcome to the last Cartoon Saturday for January ...

In Washington, Republicans and Democrats prepared to continue peeing on each other's shoes for another three weeks after Donald Trump accepted reality and reopened the government, if only temporarily; the US government ordered non-emergency US diplomatic personnel out of Venezuela; a woman in Australia was bitten by a 5-foot carpet python that had found its way into her toilet; Trump family members and administration officials received a storm of criticism for their tone-deaf comments on the problems of ordinary Americans suffering because of the Trump Shutdown; and the Monroe Doctrine was on life support, if not clinically dead, as Russia warned the United States not to intervene in the deteriorating situation in its ally, Venezuela.

It's been a while since we've looked at cartoons about crash test dummies, but it seems appropriate at this moment in our history to dive into that collection again ...

I like a cartoon that manages to pillory not only crash test dummies, but lawyers, too ...

Sounds like Congress to me ...

When dummies date ...

They need good eyesight to be able to see the walls they're running into ...

Me, too ...

You had to see this one coming ...

Maybe Donald Trump will pick him up ...

Crash test dummies have conspiracy theories, too ...

Which one? ...

Teenage dummies ...

And that's our collection of cartoons about dummies for this week. At least we can laugh about these dummies, where we can't always laugh about the ones we elect.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when we revisit a great song by Sam Cooke on Musical Sunday. Be here.
