Cartoon Saturday

It's been quite a week, hasn't it? ...

Senate Republicans voted en bloc to refuse to even discuss the voting reforms of the For the People Act; more than 20 Russian aircraft and two coast guard ships shadowed a British warship sailing near Crimea, and the UK government denied Russian reports that a Russian ship had fired warning shots and a jet had  dropped bombs in the path of HMS Defender as it sailed some 12 miles (19km) off Crimea's coast; the Subway sandwich chain is again under investigation over suspicion that its tuna salad contains no identifiable tuna; Rudy Giuliani, Der Furor's former lawyer and die-hard supporter, has been suspended from practicing law in New York State*; and at Iran's Dezful Vahdati Air Force Base, two pilots were killed when they accidentally fired their ejection seats while their aircraft was still in the hangar, blasting both men through the hangar roof.

This week, in honor of all the batshit crazy people out there believing in Q-anon and every other wacky conspiracy theory, here's a collection of cartoons about the tinfoil hat crowd.

It's a popular end-of-year program on Faux News and OAN ...  

Hmmm ...

I'd be worried, too ...

Everybody starts somewhere ...

It's progress, of a sort ...

It's all in how you think the dots ought to be connected ...

As if the religious nuts weren't bad enough ...

This one won't be showing up at our family game nights ...

Mine is ignoring him ...

If you're going to be batshit crazy, you may as well do it with style ...

And that's it for this edition of Cartoon Saturday. New thoughts come tomorrow**, when Poetry Sunday returns. Be here.

* The Appellate Court decision read in part: “We conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at re-election in 2020. These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client.” 

** Aha! That's just what Bilbo wants you to believe ...
