Cartoon Saturday

You'd think that the holiday season would bring happier news. Silly you.

Asked during an interview by Sean Hannity if he would be a dictator if reelected, Der Furor replied "only on day one;" a second criminal case has been filed against Hunter Biden, helping the GOP to divert attention from the criminality of Der Furor and his minions; three faculty members at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas were murdered and another injured in the latest instance of gun violence as national pastime; an appeals court has upheld, but narrowed, the gag order imposed on Der Furor in his election interference case; and in Bangkok, a man was arrested by airport security personnel after a suspicious bulge in his pants turned out to be two live otters he was trying to smuggle home to Taiwan. 

There are three Cartoon Saturdays remaining until Christmas, and so we will dedicate them to cartoons about the Christmas/Holiday season. 

Translation: the sign says, "Christmas Tree Sale - a Free Glass of Hot Spiced Wine with Each Tree Purchased," and the man is saying, "Where should we unload the 25 Christmas trees your husband bought?" Thanks to my friend Mary in Germany for sending this one ...

Reindeer communications ...

Congressional Republicans celebrate the holiday season in style ...

There are few things more stupid at a season supposedly dedicated to "peace on earth and goodwill toward men" than the imaginary "war on Christmas" ...

Your holiday art history lesson ...

When reindeer get MBAs ...

Goin' casual ...

Uh, oh ...

Busted!

Yep, this would be me ...

With all the relentlessly bad news swirling around us, it's not a bad idea to have a few innocent laughs once a week or so. I hope it helps.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Musical Sunday visits with the great Leonard Cohen. See you then.
