Cartoon Saturday


I got my flu shot last week. Now I wish I could get vaccinated against 2020 ...

Brian Murphy, the former head of the intelligence branch of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), claimed in a whistleblower complaint that top DHS officials ordered agency intelligence analysts to downplay the threat of violent white supremacy and of Russian election interference; fires destroyed Greece's largest migrant camp, located at Moria on the island of Lesbos, leaving nearly 13,000 people without shelter; a priest in Wisconsin told Catholics they would “face the fires of Hell” if they voted for Democrats; Dame Diana Rigg, acclaimed star of stage and screen and recently remembered as tart-tongued Olenna Tyrell in "Game of Thrones," died at 82; and although the book will not be officially released until next week, excerpts and supporting audio recordings from Bob Woodward's book "Rage" paint a devastating picture of Der Furor's incompetence and self-absorption in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

This week, in honor of the way this misbegotten year seems to be going, I thought a collection of cartoons about the trials and tribulations of Sisyphus would be appropriate ...

It definitely feels like this sometimes ...


Some people just can't leave work behind ...


I know this feeling ...


Zeus must use that "like" button a lot ...


Uh, oh ...


It's a thought ...


If, like me, you went to a Catholic grade school, you can relate ...


He should have left the kids at home ...


It's a valid question ...


Everybody's gotta start someplace ...


And there you are - a very apropos collection of cartoons about surviving the Endless Year.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts coming.

A wonderful collection! So many belly laughs! Especially like meeting Indiana Jones and friends wanting their pizza and beer.
