Cartoon Saturday

It's Saturday, December 19th ... just 13 more days in this miserable year, and 34 more days until Der Furor relocates to whatever municipality will have him.

 Country music legend Charley Pride passed away from complications of Covid-19; Russian intelligence appears to be behind a huge compromise of US computer networks and systems - a hack which Der Furor has yet to acknowledge or comment on; President-Elect Biden has nominated Representative Deb Haaland (D, NM) to be his Secretary of the Interior - the first Native American ever to serve in the cabinet and direct the department with responsibility for Native American affairs; acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller appears to be leading Pentagon resistance to President-Elect Biden’s transition team efforts; and a judge in Michigan has ruled that a 42-year-old man can seek compensation from his parents for destroying his pornography collection.

This week, I thought a few cartoons about art might help raise the level of culture out there. Or not. It's worth a try ...

There are some really excellent young artists out there ...

Busted! Or declawed, whatever ...

A good artist knows how to identify the key element of his or her painting or photograph ...

So, how did they decide close races before photo finishes? ...

Turnabout is fair play ...

I can see Mike and I visiting this gallery ...

Very early ...

You must have wondered where the models came from ...

I think this will be Der Furor's next licensing scheme ...

I can relate to that sort of commentary ...

And there you go ... the next-to-last Cartoon Saturday for 2020. I hope it helped lift you off the canvas that this year has knocked you down to.
