Cartoon Saturday

I need a better all-purpose word than "oy" to refer to weeks like these ...

Trump associate Paul Manafort, convicted on numerous counts of financial fraud, was sentenced to four years in prison - far short of the sentence sought by prosecutors and viewed falsely by Donald Trump as "proof" of "no collusion;" dozens of people were killed by tornadoes which devastated towns across Alabama; starting in 2021, Americans will need a visa to visit countries that are part of the European Union; Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson resigned her position to become President of the University of Texas at El Paso; and White House Communications Director and former Fox News executive Bill Shine resigned to take a position with Donald Trump's re-election* campaign.

This week, in honor of the spiraling number of investigations into the Trump Organization and its questionable** business practices, I thought a collection of cartoons about pirates might be appropriate ...

When pirates go high-tech ...

Captain Hook lucks out ...

They use the same lawyers and media consultants that the Trump Organization does ...

When pirates go high-tech, part 2 ...

I couldn't let this post go by without at least one groanable pun ...

When a pirate is your banker ...

Mrs Pirate, fashion consultant ...

Caddies for golfing pirates have a special skill set ...

Mr Trump interviews for his defense team ...

Sadly, some skill sets don't translate well to new employment venues ...

AAAAARRRRR, mateys! We be finished with the cartoons for this week, an I hope ye enjoyed 'em.

Have a good day and a great weekend, although the cold weather is likely to shiver your timbers. More thoughts tomorrow, when we welcome Eddy Grant to Musical Sunday.
