Cartoon Saturday

It's been quite a week, hasn't it? ...

As part of the fight to control the coronavirus outbreak, the US has suspended all non-essential traffic across its borders with both Mexico and Canada; Der Furor called NBC News correspondent Peter Alexander a “terrible reporter” during Friday’s White House news briefing for asking what he would say to Americans who are scared about the coronavirus; a new scandal has erupted as a result of several senators apparently using their classified knowledge of the scope and effects of the coronavirus pandemic to sell stocks they knew would fall in value; legendary country music star Kenny "The Gambler" Rogers died at age 81; and in Las Vegas (where else?) the Little Darlings strip club not only remains open, but plans to offer drive-thru strip shows patrons can enjoy from the comfort and safety of their vehicles and nude hand sanitizer wrestling, starting this weekend.

This week, in honor of people who engage in unsafe, virus spreading actions, members of Congress who grandstand rather than act, and a president who refuses to accept responsibility for anything, I figured we could use some cartoons about clowns who are actually funny ...

It is, if you're reporting for Faux News and OANN ...

When clowns don't watch their health ...

I feel like doing that with each new What-a-Great-Job-I'm-Doing news briefing from Der Furor ...

I think he's in more trouble than he thinks ...

The training for Clown Team 7 ... 

Bedside manner, as adjusted for the patient ...

If only ...

I've had days like that, but I usually got both the pie and the cupcake ...

No other comment necessary ...

Easy ID ...

As we complete a new week of social distancing, sheltering in place, and economic turmoil, I hope this collection of clownery has helped you cope. Things are bad, but they're as bad as we let them be - keep your heads up.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow when Musical Sunday returns.
