Cartoon Saturday

Maybe August will be better ...

In Mississippi, dozens of state lawmakers have contracted coronavirus after weeks of refusing to wear masks; in Helena, Montana, 28-year old Cody James Wortman was arrested and charged with multiple felony counts of criminal endangerment for firing his six-shooter into the air at a rodeo ... oddly enough, a crime in that state; Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that the world-famous Hagia Sophia museum in Istanbul - a World Heritage Site originally founded 1500 years ago as an Orthodox Christian cathedral, converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest of Istanbul in 1453, and then converted to a museum in 1934 - has been turned back into a mosque; the Roman Catholic Church used a special and unprecedented exemption from federal rules to amass at least $1.4 billion in taxpayer-backed coronavirus aid, with many millions going to dioceses that have paid huge settlements or sought bankruptcy protection because of clergy abuse cover-ups; and in Washington, Der Furor on Friday commuted the sentence of his friend Roger Stone on seven felony crimes, using his power to help Stone just days before the convicted felon was to report to a federal prison to serve a 40-month terms do ensuring that Stone could not be compelled to testify against him later.

This week I’ve heard enough about red meat for Der Furor’s base - let’s go to a better place - a collection of cartoons about gardening ...

This is the right kind of garden for 2020 ...

Somebody has to harvest all those ‘baby’ vegetables ...

In honor of Der Furor ...

You mean that’s not how it works? ...

Next year, I’m planting croutons to go with the greens ...

He got the seedling from Stephen King’s garden ...

With my luck at growing tomatoes, I should be able to cash in on this, too ...

He’s going to do some gAAARHdening ...

Important use and care information ...

This is why I don’t mind weeding the garden every day ...

And that’s it for this green-thumb edition of Cartoon Saturday. I hope it helped you get over another week of Der Furor’s mania.

Have a good day and a great weekend. Come back tomorrow for a parody edition of Musical Sunday ... more thoughts then.
