Cartoon Saturday


Oh, for pity's sake ...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced plans for a special $6 million police force (answerable to him) to combat the election crime he believes is rampant in the state; the Supreme Court has allowed the release of presidential documents sought by the January 6th committee ... the only justice voting against the release was Clarence Thomas, whose wife - oddly enough - supported the events of that day; among the documents provided by the National Archives to the January 6th Commission following the Supreme Court decision is a draft executive order with which Der Furor sought to use the National Guard to seize voting machines and records nationwide to keep himself in office; a German probe commissioned by the Catholic Church has alleged that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI failed to act on four child abuse cases while he was archbishop of Munich; and in Turkey, a junk collector looking to sell about 70 tons of iron has been arrested and charged with stealing a 500 meter (1,640 foot) long bridge over a period of four days.

A twist on the age-old complaint of women everywhere ...


Well, someone's really busted ...


You just knew this one had to come up sooner or later ...


Medusa at the veterinarian's ...


Ah, yes - she really is ...


I haven't done any dating for a long, long time, but I know it can be difficult even if you don't have an odd hair problem ...


Twenty-first century problems are worse for some people than for others ...


Medusa's beauty routine included some tricky parts ...


Medusa in 2022 ...


Have a good day and a great weekend. Stay warm, and watch out for women with sinuous hair.

More thoughts coming.

Medusa's head goes crazy as she contemplates a picture of Sinead O’Connor at the beauty shop.

Mike - I think you're right!

John - I still have another 49 in the file, plus the 20 I've already used!

These are great! Been busy and just got to them but worth the wait. The nude beach is my favorite. Still laughing!
