Cartoon Saturday

Halloween is just around the corner ... the one day per year when we'll be able to see something more frightening than a conservative Supreme Court majority and the daily news ...

The judge presiding over the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, who is accused of shooting and murdering two people during protests in Wisconsin last year, says the two dead persons may not be called "victims" by prosecutors in court, but that the defense may refer to them as "arsonists," "rioters," or "looters;" in an attempt to distract attention from its failure not only to control hate speech on its platform but to increase it as a way to increase revenue, Facebook, Inc. has changed its name to Meta Platforms, Inc.; in Houston, Texas, the mother of three children who were found abandoned in an apartment with the body of their brother - who was believed to have died "around Thanksgiving" - said she checked on her children "every two weeks;" Ohio recalled 35,000 new license plates after realizing that a "Birthplace of Aviation" banner depicted on the plate was shown attached to the wrong end of the historic Wright Flyer; and two men in Jefferson County, Washington, were arrested after they used a chainsaw to cut chunks of wood from cedar logs supporting a local bridge to sell as material for shingles ... a county official told reporters, "Can't believe we have to say this, but don't take chainsaws to our bridges."

For the final Cartoon Saturday of our Halloween extravaganza, we dig up a collection of cartoons about the hideous, shambling mob of mindless, brain-dead characters ... no, not Republicans, zombies ...

We start with a clever mash-up of clown car and zombie cartoons ...

When zombies go into business ...

You work with what you have ...

This is the sort of zombie I'd be ...

Who knows? It might help ...

When the zombie plague finally meets the robot population ...

In life, they belonged to the plumbers' union ...

I love this one, even if it's too evil for words ...

There's really no good excuse for not wearing a mask unless ...

I usually forget something when shopping, too ...

So, there we are ... the last collection of Halloween-themed cartoons for 2021. I hope I've helped you cope with the real world in my own small way.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and don't forget that Tuesday is Election Day - do your civic duty and vote!

More thoughts coming.
