Cartoon Saturday

The news just gets weirder all the time ...

Ted Kaczynski, the so-called "Unabomber" who murdered three people and injured 23 others during a 17-year reign of terror, died by suicide at age 81 in a federal prison hospital; a defiant Der Furor, arraigned in federal court on 37 felony charges of hoarding classified documents and conspiring to obstruct justice, denied everything, pictured himself as a victim, and immediately began fundraising; Louisiana's Fort Polk has been renamed as Fort Johnson in honor of Army Sgt William Henry Johnson, a black World War I veteran whose heroism earned him a posthumous Medal of Honor; Jack Teixiera, the American airman accused of stealing and disseminating classified information, was formally indicted by a federal grand jury in Massachusetts ... he may have trouble finding a lawyer, as Der Furor has virtually every as-yet-unindicted shyster already on retainer; and the manager of the Harvard Medical School morgue has been arrested and charged with buying and selling human remains, including selling dissected human faces for $600 to the manager of "Kat's Creepy Creations," a Salem, Massachussetts-based company who intended to tan them into leather for ... subsequent use.

This week, with our politics and our legal profession both descending into snakepits, I thought I'd pull up a collection of cartoons about everybody's favorite snake lady, Medusa.

Sometimes, it's tough to do the right thing ...  

She must have had a tough childhood ...

Imagine that ...

Oh, boy ...

I'm not sure tech support can help with this one ...

It's an understandable concern ...

The "big snake" era ...

Taking a selfie isn't always a good idea ...

The classic tale, retold ...

She has rather specialized grooming issues ...

And that's it for our salute to everyone's favorite serpent lady ... I hope you enjoyed it and didn't get ... stoned.

Have a good day and a great weekend. Come back tomorrow, when we celebrate Fathers Day, 2023. More thoughts then.
