Here we go with the last Cartoon Saturday collection not just of the year, but of the decade ...
More than fifty people were injured, but miraculously no one was killed, in a massive multi-car pileup involving more than 70 cars on Interstate 64 in Virginia; in Saudi Arabia, five men were sentenced to death as the fall guys for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi; Der Furor, enraged over his impeachment by the House of Representatives, is pushing the novel (and, arguably, silly) defense that he hasn't really been impeached because the House has not yet sent the articles of impeachment to the Senate; at least 12 people were killed when an airliner crashed while taking off from the city of Almaty in Kazakhstan; and in Georgia, two men were kicked out of the Army National Guard after liberal activists uncovered their membership in a religious group with white supremacist ties.
As we get ready to enter what will almost certainly be the most wastefully expensive, spiritually draining, morally bankrupt, and blatantly untruthful presidential election year in history in living memory, I thought a collection of cartoons about Hell would be appropriate ...
This might appeal to all the blinkered evangelical "Christians" ...
Yes. Yes, it is ...
I think that was my high school gym teacher ...
Similar to the commute in the DC metro area ...
When the punishment really fits the crime ...
Other types of fitting punishment ...
And still others ...
I cast a million votes for this punishment ...
I think a lot of ladies can get behind this one ...
As a parent and grandparent whose house is six-deep in Lego pieces, I can verify that this is a cosmically horrible punishment ...
There's a wonderful line from the dark, terrifying movie Se7en that applies to our collective experience of Der Furor's first three years and our expectation of the (hopefully) final one ... "He's experienced about as much pain and suffering as anyone I've encountered, give or take, and he still has Hell to look forward to."
Stock up on your booze and aspirin now ... the next eleven months are going to be quite a ride.
Have a good day and a great final weekend of 2019. Be sure to come back tomorrow for Musical Sunday and next Wednesday, when we announce the Ass Clown of the Year for 2019. See you then.

I don't want Sen Lindsey Graham to feel like he sucks at being an Ass Clown so throw my daily allotment of votes toward his sorry ass.
Excellent edition! Hell has an interesting perspective, to be sure.
Just got back so have missed voting. My 10 go to McConnell. He deserves a landslide.
Tiepos drive me crasy.
100 more votes for McConnell.
