Cartoon Saturday

Remember when we had normal weeks? Neither do I ...

From the Department of Staggering Hypocrisy comes a report that members of the Trump family and other senior administration officials are using personal e-mail accounts and insecure apps to conduct government business; British Prime Minister Theresa May secured an agreement with the EU to delay the UK's exit from the EU, as if that would allow her to finally get her government to agree to Brexit terms; Donald Trump announced that the US would recognize the Israeli annexation of the long-occupied Golan Heights; in the wake of the murder of 50 Muslim worshipers in New Zealand last week, the government of that country has announced that several categories of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines will be banned; and an explosion at a chemical plant in eastern China on Thursday afternoon has killed at least 47 people, according to state media reports.

Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of the great French mime Marcel Marceau, and so what could be a better topic for today's Cartoon Saturday than ... mimes?

How mimes ask for handouts ...

The Jedi Mime Trick ...

Quick, let Trump know that wind power even works on non-windy days! ...

When an invisible box isn't a good thing ...

Not a good fit for the job ...

I wonder if Trump has examined this option for the emperor's new walls ...

The right to remain ... well ... you know ...

Not cut out to be a cowboy ...

It's a new record! We think ...

21st-century young mimes ...

And there you go ... a bit of quiet humor at the end of a week full of stuff not worth listening to, anyhow. 

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Musical Sunday visits with the great Tom Lehrer ... see you then.
