Cartoon Saturday


And it's the last Cartoon Saturday for this ... um ... interesting month ...

TV actor Jussie Smollett continued to insist on his innocence after Chicago police unveiled mountains of evidence that he had staged a hate crime of which he was the victim in order to improve his salary on the popular show "Empire;" North Carolina will re-run its contested 9th District House of Representatives election after revelations that the state GOP had engaged in massive voting fraud; Venezuelan President Maduro closed his nation's border with Brazil to prevent delivery of food and medical aid he claimed was a US plan to destabilize his administration; Peter Tork, a member of the popular 1960s band The Monkees, died at the age of 77; and a Coast Guard officer was arrested after it was discovered that he was using his work computer to research mass murder and plan widespread domestic terrorist attacks.

Between Donald Trump, Congress, and the loonies of the left and right, it seems appropriate to offer up a selection of cartoons this week featuring clowns ... specifically, riffs on the car that seems to hold an infinite number of them ...

They can cause terrifying accidents ...


They often need special options ...


HOV violations? Not here! ...


When alien abductions go wrong ...


Clowns travel by air, too ...


The final practical exam ...


Clowns traveling by air, part 2 ...


Cars, strollers, whatever ...


I wonder if he checked the back seat, trunk, glove compartment, etc ...


Did you ever wonder who designed those cars? ...


And that finishes up our last Cartoon Saturday for the otherwise depressing month of February. Nothing like a reminder that clowns can, indeed, be funny when they're not elected or appointed.

Have a good day and a great weekend. Come back tomorrow and mellow out with a classic from Enya on Musical Sunday ... more thoughts then.

Where's the cartoon about the Republican clown car from the 2016 primaries?
