Cartoon Saturday

New month, new insanity ...

Republicans, masters of division and deflection, accused President Biden of dividing and deflecting the nation in a fiery Wednesday speech on threats to democracy in America; tonight's Powerball prize will be $1.5 billion, the third-largest jackpot in history and nearly enough to buy control of the House or Senate; afraid of being lost in the bad news noise, North Korea launched a barrage of missiles, including an ICBM capable of striking the United States; the sport of professional cornhole has been rocked by a scandal involving the use of illegal beanbags (dubbed, of course, "BagGate"); and in Florida (where else?) a man convicted of embezzling millions of dollars from a medical services firm defended his action by claiming his crime benefited other people ... including a webcam performer who provided "sexual gratification and companionship."

Speaking of "sexual gratification and companionship," and because we need something out of the ordinary to take our minds off the coming midterm elections, how about a selection of cartoons about sex?

Praying mantises are tailor-made for cartoons about dangerous sexual liaisons ...

Like I said ...

It's a new twist on the classic question ...

Hot dog sex ... or is it, "Hot Dog!! Sex!!" ...

Yes, John, do ...

It's less fun when you need help ...

What else would you do when stranded on a desert island? ...

I think she should have held out for the allspice ...

Thinking ahead during the reading of the will ...

And there you have it - our first Cartoon Saturday collection for November, rated somewhere between PG-13 and R. And I didn't have to pay $8 per month for a blue check mark on it. Yet.

Have a good day, a great weekend, and get ready to do your civic duty on Tuesday. Remember that democracy, decency, and good government are on the ballot, and vote accordingly.

More thoughts coming.
