Cartoon Saturday


Well, the hope that July would be better than June didn't last long, did it?

Ghislaine Maxwell, the partner of disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, was arrested and charged with recruiting, grooming and sexually abusing underage girls as young as 14 for Epstein's alleged criminal enterprise; in a dark pre-Independence Day diatribe at Mount Rushmore, Der Furor worked to exploit the nation’s racial and social divisions and rally supporters around his uncompromising law-and-order message; three Colorado police officers have been fired after they shared photos re-enacting a chokehold used on a black man who later died; one of the last great classic comic geniuses, Carl Reiner, passed away at 98; and after complaints by animal rights group PETA, a number of supermarkets have removed some brands of coconut water and oil from their shelves after it was revealed that the products were made with fruit picked by monkeys.

This week, a shortlist of cartoons related to what used to be an occasion for fun, togetherness, picnics, and a celebration of how great it is to be an American ...

You wouldn't think he'd need it ...

Have a good day, a Happy Fourth of July, and a great weekend. Celebrate responsibly ... not like the examples set on high.
