January is nearly over. Thank goodness.
A school district in Tennessee has voted to ban the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus about the Holocaust due to “inappropriate language” and an illustration of a (gasp!) nude woman; conservative heads are exploding after reports that Minnie Mouse is exchanging her iconic polka-dot dress for a stylish pantsuit; in other culture war news, still more heads are exploding over the change in footwear for green M&M characters from go-go boots to sneakers; as if Russian war preparations on the border with Ukraine weren't bad enough, the Chinese ambassador to the United States warned this week that the US could face "military conflict" over the status of Taiwan; and in Pittsburgh, as if to graphically illustrate President Biden's speech on infrastructure upgrade, a bridge collapsed under the weight of accumulating snow.
Because we're experiencing another winter storm with snow, ice, and bitter cold here in NoVa, a collection of winter-themed cartoons seems appropriate ...
The question every man - snow or otherwise - fears ...
Well, at least it's obvious up front ...
Some things aren't appropriate for everyone ...
Shoveling snow can, indeed, be a Sisyphean effort ...
Well, if it works ...
Snowchildren problems ...
Snowman genetics ...
Good news or bad news? ...
Working within one's limitations ...
Is number one better, or number two? ...
And that's it for Cartoon Saturday and, almost, for the month of January. Have a good day, stay warm, and come back tomorrow for Musical Sunday. More thoughts then.

I'll work on that drift for her and get her butt back in great shape.
Great ones - perfect for today! Laser eye surgery is my favorite.
