Cartoon Saturday

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the ... life ...

In the latest move to undermine government accountability, Der Furor on Friday night fired the State Department Inspector General, who was preparing to investigate Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for possible misuse of a State Department political appointee to perform personal tasks for Pompeo and his wife; in Great Britain, as in the United States, psychiatrists fear a 'tsunami' of mental illness after  lockdown restrictions are ended, although the way things are going, it'll be difficult to tell; as deaths from the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States topped 88,000, Der Furor continued to assign the blame for the crisis to the Obama administration, which has been out of office for more than three years; Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, using discretion written into the coronavirus stabilization law, is funneling millions of dollars to private and religious schools, pursuing a long-sought conservative policy goal Congress has repeatedly blocked; and the first named tropical storm of the year - Arthur - is expected to form in the Atlantic over the weekend, news greeted with excitement by Der Furor, who claimed it will ameliorate the Covid-19 pandemic by blowing the coronavirus harmlessly out to sea.

This week, since people seem to be starved for outdoor sports, I thought a collection of cartoons about ... um ... indoor sports might be appropriate ...

I saw a different version of this cartoon years ago, in which the caption was, "Are you sure she's got a friend?" ...

Busted! ...

I think there's probably a lot of this going around at the moment ...

And there you are ... the NSFW edition of Cartoon Saturday. Be sure to wash your hands and wear your full-body condom before trying any of this at home.

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