Cartoon Saturday

Is it too late to get our deposit back on this year? 

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie ended his flagging presidential campaign with a powerful speech that included a stinging denunciation of Der Furor ... years too late; President Biden's son, Hunter, has pleaded not guilty to tax offenses in a California federal court; the Middle East conflict threatened to spread as US and British forces attacked sites in Yemen from which attacks on Red Sea shipping had been launched; in a desperate race for the bottom and for second place in the GOP presidential sweepstakes, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis debated ahead of the Iowa caucuses; and in Lincoln, Nebraska, a man wearing a hoodie, mask, and shower curtain robbed a liquor store ... the shower curtain has been recovered by the local police. 

This week, I'll just fall back on my old too-lazy-to-do-the-research-this-week dodge and give you a random selection of cartoons that have caught my eye in the last few weeks, plus a few from the larger collection ... 

Since using the right pronouns is now a "thing," I wonder how far we need to take it ...

People come up with all sorts of dodges to help with their medical insurance costs ...

The Michelin Man gets the bad news ...

If Alexander Graham Bell only knew ...

Now that's an interesting pop-up book ...

Gawd-awful pun of the week ...

I've always suspected that was how it worked ...

This one is from back in 2017, but it's more applicable now than ever ...

Sleeping Beauty, updated ...

It looks like the ultra-conservatives have had the same problem for a long time ...

And that's it for this week; hope the cartoons helped to give you a break from the all-Der-Furor-all-the-time news overload. 

Have a good day and a great weekend ... see you back here tomorrow for Poetry Sunday. More thoughts then.
