Cartoon Saturday

Just when you thought it was safe to come out from under the covers ...

Beloved actress Angela Lansbury died just five days short of her 97th birthday; screaming blowhard Alex Jones was ordered by a Connecticut jury to pay nearly $1 BILLION to the families of children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 who he said were "crisis actors" hired as part of a plot to seize guns from Americans; the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol held its final public hearing on Thursday, presenting damning evidence of Der Furor's central role in the insurrection and culminating with the approval of a subpoena demanding Der Furor's testimony and documents* ... in response, Der Furor responded with a childish, rambling fourteen-page letter attacking the committee, ten pages of which were attachments regurgitating the usual litany of long-debunked election fraud claims; a Florida jury sentenced the man who murdered 17 students at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018 to life in prison; and in Missouri, Planned Parenthood is responding to a surge in requests for vasectomies following the Supreme Court decision that removed abortion rights by announcing that a mobile vasectomy clinic (called "The Nutcracker") will offer free snips to interested men in three Missouri cities during the first week of November before going on the road to other midwest cities the following week.

And we move into week two of our annual Cartoon Saturday salute to Halloween with a collection of cartoons featuring terrifying bloodsuckers. No, not IRS agents - vampires ...

It's a twofer! ...

He's now a veganpire ...

It's one way to keep from having to share your favorite snacks ...

I can see that. No, wait ...

He needs to try Vlad's blood oranges from the second cartoon ...

I can see where a Bit-bit would be useful for vampires worried about their level of fitness ...

It's an interesting approach to acquired immunity ...

He's been watching too many Internet videos ...

At least you can step away from the camera and nobody will notice ...

It was worth a try ...

And that finishes the bite we've taken out of my collection of vampire cartoons ... I hope you enjoyed them. Humor in a jugular vein, as it were.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for our second Halloween-themed Poetry Sunday for October. More spooky thoughts then.

* Yeah, good luck with that.
