Cartoon Saturday

It just gets weirder and weirder ...

The remains of a 20-ton Chinese rocket fell from space on Sunday, landing harmlessly (thank goodness) in the Indian Ocean; deadly violence continued in the Middle East with at least 130 people killed as Hamas militants continued to launch barrages of rockets into Israel, which responded with massive artillery fire and air strikes; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on Thursday that persons who have successfully received full immunization for Covid-19 can stop wearing masks in most areas; Congresswoman Liz Cheney called out Fox News - on a Fox News program - for the network's culpability in spreading the myth of the stolen 2020 election; and in South Carolina, a woman was seriously burned after her car, loaded with multiple cans of hoarded gasoline, exploded as she tried to elude police, who had noted that the license plates on her car had been reported stolen.

This week, in honor of the difficulty of President Biden accomplishing anything worthwhile for real people in the face of admitted 100% Republican opposition, I thought a collection of cartoons riffing on the myth of Sisyphus would be timely ...

Few people know about Sisyphus's little brother ...  

What could make it worse? ...

Myth mashup ...

He should have thought of that sooner ...

Delay of game ...

Too many steps to count without it ...

It's an appropriate hobby ...

Who's more frustrated? ...

Helping out temporarily ...

Yep, that was probably how things started ...

That's it for today - hope the trials of Sisyphus have helped you laugh at your own trials in today's weird US of A.

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