Cartoon Saturday

Good grief ...

President Biden announced a number of mandatory Covid-19 vaccination requirements for federal employees and contractors, sparking the expected opposition from Republicans more interested in personal freedoms than personal responsibilities ... the President expressed disappointment over the pushback, and responded to threats of GOP lawsuits over his actions by telling them to "Have at it;" with his usual degree of class and empathy, Der Furor marked the 20th anniversary of the 2001 terror attacks on New York and Washington with plans to announce a pay-per-view boxing match on September 11th; hurricane Larry is threatening the Canadian Atlantic provinces, and could deliver "feet" of snow to Greenland; and in (where else?) Florida, a woman arrested after trying to steal a fire truck told police she was under the influence of "The Elixir of Life." 

With Covid-19 roaring back to force us back inside and away from social contact, it seems like a good time for a collection of cartoons about books and reading ... which can make the isolation more bearable ...

For those who don't subscribe to Readers' Digest ...

Maybe the writing of my own novel would go faster if I adopt this strategy ...

Smart bird ...

I needed to have at least one awful pun ...

That would make me grouchy, too ...

Documenting the side effects of Ivermectin, no doubt ...

A sad, but sadly accurate observation ...

Boo! ...

The invention of the paywall ...

It's accurate, but for many of the books written by former apparatchiks of Der Furor, it should probably read "Meet the Empowerer" or "Meet the Avoider of Responsibility" ... 

And that's the way it is for this Cartoon Saturday. Now, go read a good book.

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