Cartoon Saturday

Well, if you thought June was going to be better than May, you may want to just shrug and go back to bed ...

After weeks of irritating political posturing and damaging theatrics, Congress on Thursday night passed the bill to lift the Debt Ceiling until after the 2024 election; 14-year-old Dev Shah of Largo, Florida, won the Scripps National Spelling Bee, correctly spelling "psammophile;" Mexican police searching for seven young call centre workers who had been missing for a week found 45 bags containing human remains in a ravine outside the western city of Guadalajara; border officials in California seized 5,800 pounds of methamphetamine worth an estimated $38 millon hidden in a shipment of kale*; and from the Department of **** Around and Find Out, a white New York lawyer who was filmed snatching the wig from the head of a black woman and refusing to apologize was immediately fired by his firm ... he has also been charged with misdemeanor assault, because "being a racist dumbass" has not yet made it into the legal code.

Because the country seems to be going politically and socially backward really fast, I thought some cartoons about life in the Stone Age might be appropriate this week.

Who knew they had social media back then? ...  

Yes, history lessons were a bit less comprehensive back then ...

Science fairs were a bit less complicated, too ...

It's nice when the cave retains some of the natural decor ... 

 

I suppose that's how it happened ...

Of course, it could have been like this, too ...

Everybody's a critic ...

You know what they say ... "pictures, or it didn't happen" ...

He's got a point ...

The birth of tech support ...

And the new month of Cartoon Saturdays is off to the usual flying start. I hope you enjoyed the look back to where the Republicans want to take us.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Musical Sunday returns. See you then.

* Oddly enough, the drugs were not being schlepped across the border by vast hordes of immigrants (as Republicans believe all drugs enter the country), but in a tractor-trailer inspected at a border crossing point. The smugglers probably thought nobody would be interested in a shipment of kale, anyhow.
