Cartoon Saturday


Oh, for Pete's sake ...

Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev had to cut short a space walk from the International Space Station when a battery problem threatened the integrity of his space suit; Alan Weisselberg, former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, pleaded guilty on Thursday to 15 counts ranging from grand larceny to tax fraud to falsifying business records; a man who kidnapped a school bus full of children in 1976 and buried them alive has been granted parole after 17 previous denials; and in Pennsylvania, a man has been arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse, receiving stolen property and dealing in the proceeds of unlawful activities after police found human body parts - which he had purchased from a woman in Arkansas over Facebook Messenger - stored in his basement.

This week, in honor of the incredible heat waves we're experiencing as a result of the climate change that too many people say isn't actually happening, I thought a collection of cartoons about someplace really hot would be appropriate. Welcome to Hell and its denizens ...

Be sure to read the fine print carefully ...  


When the punishment fits the crime ...


This reminds me of the joke about accidentally summoning a demon when the Roomba runs across the ouija board ...


Tough standards ...


Oh, the horror! ...


You know it's got to be somewhere buried in those dozens and dozens of pages and screens of fine print ...


Uh, oh ...


I can think of a lot of other people in this hall of fame, including the one who thought up extended warranty robo-calls ...


Yeah, that was before Der Furor ...


Things used to be a lot easier ...


And that's it for this week's edition of Cartoon Saturday ... I hope you enjoyed it at least as much as watching the frantic gyrations of Republicans trying to simultaneously justify Der Furor's outrageous actions while keeping him at arm's length and not angering his rabid fans.

Have a good day and a great weekend. See you tomorrow for Poetry Sunday ... more thoughts then.

The Devil is a great topic, especially these days. Their Hall of Fame is getting bigger all the time. Thanks!

I like the terms and conditions one. As Mike says, the Devil is in the details.
