Cartoon Saturday

Please, just make it stop ...

Der Furor was found guilty on multiple counts of sexual abuse, battery, and defamation by a Manhattan court and ordered to pay plaintiff E. Jean Carroll $5 million in damages ... which, knowing Der Furor's history of paying his debts, she'll never see; Covid-era restrictions on immigration have ended, and the nation is braced for a surge in both legal and illegal immigration at the southern border; astronomers have discovered what they believe to be the largest stellar explosion ever detected, more than 10 times brighter than any recorded exploding star and exceeding even the largest recorded angry rant by Der Furor; New York GOP representative and serial liar George Santos was arrested and charged with 13 counts of wire fraud, making false statements to Congress (gasp!) and other offenses ... he was released on $500,000 bond, posted - of course - by anonymous supporters; and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a man caught on traffic cameras riding an electric scooter on Interstate 94 (speed limit, 70; his estimated max speed, 15) escaped a high-speed police chase when he exited the highway and went out of camera coverage.

This week, I thought I'd feature a collection of cartoons about books and the printing thereof, before the raging conservatives remove them all from the libraries ...

Who better to write the history of the dinosaurs? ...  

There's trouble down on the farm ...

This is what happens when literature is dumbed down for the current audiences ...

Sounds right ...

He's right, you know ...

I'm absolutely sure this is how it went down ...

It makes sense, doesn't it? ...

A million monkeys can't churn out the works of Shakespeare, but ...

Perfectly accurate ...

Suddenly there came a tapping ...

And that's it for this week ... turn off the computer and go read a book!

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for my annual tribute to Mothers everywhere. More thoughts then.
