Cartoon Saturday

Just about a week until Christmas, and the Scrooge-Grinch Super PAC is working hard ...

Three members of a paramilitary group that plotted to kidnap Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 were sentenced to lengthy prison sentences; a huge winter storm brought chaos and misery to much of the midwestern United States; Der Furor, in a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!!, introduced his latest embarrassingly shameless grift - a collection of "digital trading cards" showing Der Furor in a range of tacky superhero costumes and poses, priced at a measly $99 each (plus transaction fee, of course); the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol will hold its final public meeting on December 19th, and appears prepared to refer criminal charges against Der Furor and others to the Department of Justice; and if you are in need of a gift for that hard-to-please far-right "Christian," you can order a copy of the "hot priest calendar," which offers twelve months of clerical stud muffins guaranteed to invoke at least one of the seven deadly sins. 

We all do a lot of eating during the holidays, and so I thought it might be appropriate this week to take a look at cartoons dealing with food and eating.

There have been highly selective eaters for a very long time ...  

The waiter's new standard question ...

I didn't want to wait until next Halloween to use this one ...

I think this might be my new preferred Thanksgiving tradition ...

I've known people this ... odd ...

The pun of the year ...

And yet, more expensive ...

This is a very old cartoon, but - sadly - it's as topical as ever ...

I hate it when I have to remind everyone ...

It's not all that much of an exaggeration ...

There you go - a collection of cartoons to ... uh ... whet your appetite for more.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and work on getting into the Holiday spirit. More thoughts tomorrow, when we visit Sheila E for Musical Sunday.
