Cartoon Saturday

Another month, more cartoons to take your mind off the news ... 

Three people were killed and an unknown number of others injured when a light plane crashed into a Florida trailer park on Thursday; three hundred people were injured and at least three killed when a truck carrying compressed gas exploded in an enormous fireball in Nairobi, Kenya; President Biden has issued an executive order targeting Israeli settlers in the West Bank who have been attacking Palestinians in the occupied territory; US forces struck more than 80 targets in Iraq and Syria in response for an attack by an Iran-backed group that killed three Americans; and in Thomas County, Kansas, a new resolution adopted by the county commissioners, who blame a nationwide influx of illegal immigrants, states that persons unable to prove United States citizenship are prohibited from living in the county. 

No matter where you go nowadays, one of the things you see most often is people taking "selfies" - arms-length photos of themselves showing them in particular places or doing particular things. The selfie is so ubiquitous that as far back as 2013, the Oxford English Dictionary named "selfie" as its "Word of the Year." And, of course, cartoonists have been quick to take advantage of the selfie ...

Some people just don't know when to quit ...

This one looks a little fishy to me, but what do I know? ...

I wonder if it would really work ...

A guy like Frankenstein doesn't need a selfie stick to get the right shot ...

It wouldn't surprise me ...

You didn't know that there were Biblical selfies, did you? ...

Pun of the day ...

Some people just don't know when it's not appropriate ... or safe ...

"Can ya manganese that?," as my Dad would have asked ...

Extra-long selfie stick, extra wide-angle lens ...

And that's it for the first Cartoon Saturday of February ... you can take a selfie with it if you like.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday ... see you then with more thoughts.
