Cartoon Saturday

If you thought April was going to be an improvement on March, think again ...

The UK has asked for yet another extension of its Brexit deadline in order to get its fecal material together, this time until June 30th; a teenager in Ohio was arrested and charged with 40 felony and 33 misdemeanor delinquency charges for making malicious "swatting" calls to police; members of Robert Mueller's investigation team are alleging that the summary of their report prepared by Attorney General Robert Barr misstates the report's content, which they claim is much more critical of Donald Trump; a nearly 20-hour long hostage situation in Georgia ended on Friday with a gunman and two hostages dead and two police officers wounded; and New Mexico became the 14th state* to pledge that its Electoral College votes will be credited to the winner of the nationwide popular vote, if enough other states agree to do so as well.

This week, in honor of the ongoing efforts to see Donald Trump's and Bernie Sanders's tax returns, and since the official tax deadline for this year is only ten days away, let's look at a few cartoons about one of the least funny of topics ...

Well, of course ... somebody's got to cough up the money to pay for that wall ...

A long time ago, in an accountant's office far, far away ...

Especially the lawsuit part ...

Maybe you can take it with you, but ...

I wonder if it also works for walls ...

Why I like the friendly lady who does our taxes for us ...

This is also a potential outcome of Congressional redistricting ...

How tax courts calculate prison time, at least for those who aren't rich enough to afford the right lawyer ...

The wages of sin are down everywhere ...

Tomato, tomahto ...

I hope this collection didn't tax your patience too much, and gave you something to chuckle at while you wait for the Trump/Sanders tax reveal.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for a Musical Sunday repeat visit to one of my favorite Judy Collins tunes. More thoughts then.
