Cartoon Saturday


It's been quite a week ...

The beloved cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris was severely damaged in a huge fire that apparently began when renovation workers sparked the blaze; an Alabama man who accidentally shot himself and his infant daughter with a gun carried in her diaper bag has died of his injuries; Special Counsel Robert Mueller's redacted report was released by Attorney General William Barr, revealing exactly what whoever reads it wanted to hear; the tabloid National Enquirer was sold to a magazine distributor for a reported $100 million; and the New York Yankees have dropped singer Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America" from their recorded music list because Smith evidently also sang some songs with racist lyrics.

This week, in honor of the release of the Mueller Report and its contribution to the full-employment program for lawyers, we feature cartoons about ... lawyers. Note: some of these have appeared on Cartoon Saturday before, but they're just too appropriate to the present situation to not use. Let's get to it ...

It's said to be in a tie for the title "The Oldest Profession" ...


If you read the written testimony provided to the Mueller investigation by the White House, you may recognize this one ...


Behind the scenes at the White House ...


Good point ...


I have this feeling every time I watch some high-priced lawyer bloviate on television ...


I'm sure Mr Trump gets a quantity discount ...


The nerve! ...


Yes, that's the Trump enabler version ...


Ain't that the truth? ...


The bottom line of the Mueller Report ...


And there you have it: another Cartoon Saturday dedicated to one of the world's oldest professions. Did I mention that I have tremendous scorn for the legal "profession?" Deal with it.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, on Musical Sunday. See you then.

Terrible about Kate Smith. She did an iconic version.

Excellent edition! So many gems but especially liked The First Lawyer.
