Cartoon Saturday

And August is off to a flying start ...

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in Afghanistan by missiles apparently fired from a CIA-operated drone; lawyers for conspiracy guru Alex Jones accidentally sent his cell phone records to the prosecution team, convincingly proving that he has committed multiple perjuries during his trial and potentially providing a trove of information to the January 6th committee; the state of Georgia "will recognize any unborn child with a detectable human heartbeat ... as eligible for the Georgia individual income tax dependent exemption;" basketball star Britney Griner was found guilty by a Russian court* of smuggling and possessing narcotics and sentenced to nine years in prison; and in Denver, Colorado, police took strong action to address the problem of gun violence in a popular entertainment district by banning food trucks from the area.

Since the much-heralded gigantic convoys of illegal aliens have somehow failed to materialize at the southern border, I thought a collection of cartoons about aliens might help disappointed anti-immigration fanatics ...

It never hurts to be prepared ...  

After you, Alphonse ...

Area 57 of Pittsburgh? ...

It'd be embarrassing if your credit card was denied on Alpha Centauri ...

They recognize pollution problems better than we do ...

It's the red hat ...

It's only fair ...

I can see where it might be hard for aliens to understand some of our more odd traditions ...

I think I'd have the same reaction ...

They'd have better luck waiting for Godot ...

And that's it for the first Cartoon Saturday of the month ... I hope you enjoyed it.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Poetry Sunday returns. See you then.
