Cartoon Saturday

If ever there was a week you needed the lift of Cartoon Saturday, this was it.

In two incredible, incongruous rulings, the Supreme Court endangered our personal safety by strengthening gun rights and removed the right of women to exercise bodily autonomy; the House January 6th Committee heard devastating testimony about Der Furor's attempts to use the Department of Justice to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election; after weeks of savage bombardment by invading Russian forces, the Ukrainian defenders of the city of Severodonetsk were ordered to withdraw; and in Hardwick, Vermont, police attempting to arrest a man on assault and burglary charges were attacked by the suspect's father, who menaced the officers with a construction grade excavator before being subdued and arrested along with his son.

Today, because there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the world, I offer a collection of random cartoons with no theme. Have at it ...

Yes, and they're primarily in red states ...  

How the world really works ...

If you're of my generation, you remember the drills when you hid under your desk in case of a Soviet nuclear attack, not a homicidal moron exercising his Holy Second Amendment rights ...

All too many people need a reminder to be courteous nowadays ...

Those problems would be gun violence, climate change, environmental pollution, etc, etc, ...

You saw this pretty clearly if you've been paying attention to the January 6th Committee hearings ...

What's in a name? ...

A shout to all my fellow Wordle Wonks ...

How the "legal" advisors to Der Furor operate ...

If you loved "Casablanca" and survived Covid, you'll appreciate this one ...

And that's it for this week's potpourri edition of Cartoon Saturday ... I hope it helped you get over the blazing insanity of the past week.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and be sure to come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday. More thoughts then.
