Cartoon Saturday

And away we go ...

In Thailand, former pro-democracy activist Mongkol Thirakot was sentenced to a record 50 years in prison for insulting the king, leading Der Furor's planning staff to investigate the possibility of a similar law in the United States in the event of a second DF term;  the Justice Department released a stinging report that ripped the Texas law enforcement community over its response to the 2022 Uvalde school massacre; Pakistan and Iran exchanged missile attacks on alleged terrorist camps in each other's territories, threatening a wider war in the Middle East; Ukraine targeted oil facilities inside Russia in an attempt to cause pain far from the front lines of its war with Putin's forces; and in Russia, Tsar Vladimir I has directed his staff to document Russian assets that once belonged to the former Russian Empire or were owned by the Soviet Union, causing nervousness in countries that used to belong to the former Soviet Union and leading the National Archives to increase security on the receipt documenting the sale of Alaska to the United States.

Since it's been too cold to do much else but stay inside, read, watch TV, and cook, I thought I might riff through my collection of cartoons about food and cooking ... 

Everybody's got some dietary issue or another nowadays ...

The secret of great cooking ... plus cholesterol and weight gain ...

Trust me, it's not enough ...

It would, if you don't know any French ...

Nowadays, people will argue about anything ...

You're gonna need a bigger bun ...

I plant, therefore I harvest ...

That would definitely increase its appeal ...

Been there, done that. Several times a week ...

About a week should do it ...

And that's it for today's issue of Cartoon Saturday ... are you hungry, yet?

Have a good day and a great weekend. Stay warm and come back tomorrow, when - instead of Musical Sunday - we'll have another Poetry Sunday in honor of The Bard of the Yukon, whose birthday we celebrated this past Tuesday. More thoughts then.
