Cartoon Saturday

Well, it's been quite a week, hasn't it? ...

The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol held its dramatic first televised hearing this past Monday; President Biden hosted the fractious ninth Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles; the FBI arrested Ryan Kelly, a Republican candidate for governor of Michigan and raided his home in connection with the January 6th insurrection; in Berlin, Germany, a car drove into a crowd of pedestrians on a popular shopping street, killing a teacher leading a school group and injuring 31 people, 14 of them students; and in Arizona, a man accused of indecent exposure after exposing himself in a donut shop defended his actions by claiming that he had a "perceived freedom of attire" ... and was sentenced to three years probation by a jury unconvinced of his argument.

This week, the news being the way it is, I thought a collection of cartoons about doom and gloom prophets would be appropriate ...

Everybody's gotta start someplace ...  

Nowadays, both positions are defensible ...

Editors ...

Well, why not? ...

He's probably a Republican ...

You know it's trouble when they go on sale ...

That's my sign! ...

True enough ...

Putting the blame in the right place ...

Yes, that would be a true sign of the pending apocalypse ...

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Poetry Sunday makes its first June appearance.
