Cartoon Saturday

As Der Furor and his enablers double down on their attempts to kill the Affordable Care Act - in the middle of a raging, deadly pandemic, no less - it's terrifying to realize that that isn't even the worst of the news ...

In a masterpiece of understatement for the ages, infectious disease chief Dr Anthony Fauci says the nation has a "serious problem" as 16 states reel from a spike in Covid-19 cases; an abandoned oil tanker, moored off the coast of Yemen loaded with more than 1 million barrels of crude oil, is at risk of rupture or exploding, causing massive environmental damage to Red Sea marine life, desalination factories and international shipping routes; in Henry County, Tennessee, three people have been charged after a child was found a kennel in a trailer with several mice and snakes, including a ten-foot boa constrictor; on Friday, Vice President Mike Pence tried to put a positive spin on the surging coronavirus cases, stating that “we did slow the spread. We did flatten the curve. We’re in a much better place;”and in New York City, A bipolar man holding a sword died after being tased by police officers on Sunday.

Laughter is said to be the best medicine, and once Der Furor and the Republicans are done, it's the only medicine you'll be able to afford, so let's get to it with this week's collection of cartoons about aliens ... not the ones Der Furor blames for all our ills, but the ones that shut their windows and lock their doors when they fly past the Earth ...

Be careful who you abduct ...

Well, it's not jet lag, is it? ...

The truth ...

I don't blame them ...

Don't worry, the pandemic will kill them off soon enough ...

Hah! ...

An understandable mistake ...

Space opera ...

They were expecting to be taken to an actual leader ...

A common alien ailment ...

Have a good day and a great weekend. Wear your mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing. See you tomorrow for a very appropriate song on Musical Sunday.
