Cartoon Saturday

As if you thought the news couldn't be more bleak ...

The Navy is working to contain its first outbreak of coronavirus on warships, with at least two dozen sailors infected aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt; on Wednesday the number of Americans filing for unemployment surged to a record high of 3.3 million; Der Furor continued to show calm leadership in a crisis as told reporters during a daily White House coronavirus briefing that he told Vice President Mike Pence not to call Democratic governors such as Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer if they don't "treat you right;" riding a wash of misinformation and wishful thinking, Der Furor has suggested an early return to normal economic activity, while other GOP figures have suggested that the elderly should be willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of a good economy for their grandchildren; and after receiving billions of dollars in taxpayer support to save employee jobs, United Airlines has said it will probably still need to lay off employees once the restrictions on its grant expire on September 30.

As we continue with socially distancing, how about a collection of cartoons about distancing of one sort or another? ...

Not applicable to Der Furor and many hard-core conservatives ...

And the rest of you, stay out! ...

When the social distancing is over ...

It'll take a while to answer them ...

I always wondered what the difference was ...

When you've been in lockdown too long ...

Good news, bad news ...

They're not necessarily at odds ...

Hmmm ...

It's how today's GOP would have wanted it ...

And that's it for this week. Keep washing your hands, and looking forward to that monumental check you'll get from Uncle Sam ... you may have been an afterthought amid all the corporations that needed to be saved from the consequences of their actions, but at least you may get something.

Have a good day and a great weekend. Wash your hands often, keep an appropriate social distance, and let me know how you're doing. Poetry Sunday returns tomorrow with more uplifting thoughts.
