Cartoon Saturday

And you thought July was crazy? ...

The Lebanese capital of Beirut was devastated, with hundreds killed and thousands injured, when a warehouse storing nearly 3,000 tons of highly-explosive ammonium nitrate exploded; talks on coronavirus economic relief for struggling Americans collapsed in partisan rancor and finger-pointing; A statement issued by the director of National Counterintelligence and Security Center said foreign states were using "covert and overt influence measures" to sway the vote, with China working to undermine Der Furor and Russia covertly supporting him; organizers of the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, SD, expect 250,000 people from all over the country to attend the event, many of them defiant over health concerns, with a popular T-shirt reading, 'Screw COVID, I went to Sturgis;” and as students and parents cope with adapting to virtual, rather than in-person classes, a handbook provided by the Springfield (Illinois) School District mandates that students studying at home via virtual learning must follow the same dress code that applies to students on school property.

The way 2020 is going, you have to laugh to keep from crying out in desperate anguish, so why not a few timely cartoons about life in the time of Corona? ...

Virtual meetings of all kinds require adequate preparation and coordination ...

What goes around, comes around ...

Who, indeed? ...

It's a dog's life, even for people ...

Reverse psychology works sometimes ...

Adapting for the times ...

Why not? ...

It's a natural mistake ...

I often feel the same way ...

It's a minor issue, but a real one ...

And that's it for this weekend's edition of Cartoon Saturday, looking at life in the time of Corona. I hope it helped you get past the dispiriting reality of 2020 America.

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