Just when you thought it was safe to ... well ... exist ....
The House of Representatives voted almost totally along party lines to refer former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution on a charge of contempt of Congress; Keechant Sewell, a 23-year police veteran from Nassau, NY, has been named the first female and the third black commissioner of the 35,000-strong New York City Police Department (NYPD), the nation's largest; the United States crossed another horrific milestone as it passed 800,000 dead from Covid-19; at a school in the Australian state of Tasmania, five children died and four others were in critical condition after falling from a bouncy castle that was lifted 33 feet into the air by a gust of wind; and in Wilmington, Delaware, a man robbed a Wells Fargo bank branch and was arrested by police when he tried to use the bank's outside ATM to deposit the stolen cash into his own account.
This week, we pay tribute to the unsung heroes of crime solving ... the specialists who draw those chalk outlines at the crime scene ...
It took a while for DaVinci to find his niche ...
I'm too brittle for Twister any more, but I remember how brutal it could get ...
It's always a good idea to rethink first impressions at a crime scene ...
Or perhaps the aftermath of Rand Paul's head exploding when he had to ask for federal disaster aid for Kentucky ...
It's the MacGuffin ...
As my Dad would have said, everybody's gotta start someplace ...
How they practice their craft during periods of reduced violence ...
His CV probably has a pretty good outline ...
I like the little snicker on the possum's face ...
No ... no it doesn't ...
And that's it for this week's Cartoon Saturday which, as it happens, will be the last Cartoon Saturday of 2021. One week from today will be our annual Christmas post, and the Saturday after that will be January 1st - the start of 2022 and the announcement of the 2021 Ass Clown of the Year. And speaking of that, don't forget to check in here this coming Wednesday the 22nd, when we'll officially kick off the Ass Clown of the Year voting with a summary of the rules and a review of the award recipients so far this year. Don't miss it!
Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts coming.

I got a good laugh at the lead in where the guy tried to deposit stolen cash into his own account.
ReplyDeleteTrue story. Long time ago at work, a guy came back from lunch really drunk. He fell asleep in one of the dark equipment isles' floor. Two supervisors found him. Later that day a chalk outline appeared on the floor with the out line of the supervisors' feet next to his outline. He was not a happy camper.
Mike - years ago, a guy held up the credit union where Agnes worked (she wasn't there at the time). The next day, the guy came back, stood in the teller line, and tried to deposit the money he stole - in the original wrappings and including the marked "bait" notes - in his account. You gotta love stupid criminals.
