If June 6, 1944, is remembered as "the longest day," there's not much doubt 2020 will be remembered as "the longest year" ... and yet it grinds on .,.
Alex Trebek, the avuncular long-time host of the popular TV game show "Jeopardy," passed away at 80; Der Furor continues to deny the reality of his loss of the presidency to Joe Biden, although the unofficial electoral total of 306 for Biden to 232 for his opponent is the same as that which Der Furor touted as a "historic landslide" when he won it in 2016; the Vatican published the 449-page report of its two-year internal investigation into the sex abuse scandal surrounding defrocked Cardinal Theodore McCarrick; tropical storm Theta became the 29th named storm of the 2020 season, breaking the previous record of 28 set in 2005; and Peter Sutcliffe, England's notorious "Yorkshire Ripper," died in prison of complications from Covid-19.

Travel and sightseeing aren't always a nice break from the routine ...
Everybody's gotta start someplace ...
Repeat offender ...
Decisions, decisions ...

Good decision ...
I hope she at least fastens her seat belt ...
Crash-test aerobics ...
You must have known how these things were tested ...
And there you have it - a collection of cartoons to try and help you get over the news. Hopefully, it helps.
Have a good day and a great weekend - more thoughts tomorrow, when Musical Sunday returns.

ReplyDeleteGood cartoons1 Let's hope that 2020 is the worst year; there are more to come...
ReplyDeleteFor a hospital event I once was an official crash test dummy, handing out safety flyers. They had the official costume and had a strict rule that I could not speak at all and only nod or give the thumbs up sign to anything said to me.
