Cartoon Saturday

Have you finished storing your savings in your mattress in preparation for the GOP stampede to crash the national and world economies? And in other news ...

Tina Turner, known both as the "Queen" and the "Grandmother" of Rock, died at the age of 83; Amanda Gorman's poem "The Hill We Climb," written for President Joe Biden’s inauguration, has been placed on a restricted list at a South Florida elementary school after a parent complained that it was "inappropriate;" Russia, having conducted a devastating year-long invasion that has killed tens of thousands and devastated Ukraine, has threatened "harsh responses" should Russian territory be attacked; because screwing up Florida wasn't enough, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced his entry into the 2024 presidential race in a glitch-rich Twitter presentation; and in Florida (where else?) a man claiming to be a time traveler threw a brick through the window of home in Ocala, claiming he was trying to save the infant inside from a future threat*.

This week, as long as I can still pay for my Internet access until the GOP tanks the economy, I thought some cartoons about modern economics would be appropriate ...

That about sums it up ...  

I remember when banks used to give you a gift when you opened an account. Things are a little different, now ...

It makes sense to me ...

We're surrounded ...

Whatever it takes ...

I know this is how economics really works ...

A rose by any other name has really big thorns ...

Two good graphic explanations of the conservative scam trickle-down economics theory ...

This one is actually a bit more accurate ...

Mine, too ...

That's it for this week's Cartoon Saturday, trying hard to make fun about the least funny thing out there other than gun worship. This is where our parties have gotten us.

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

* I'm not sure what future threat would be worse than Ron DeSantis, unless it was Ron DeSantis as president.
