Cartoon Saturday

It's about time for this month to finally be over ...

Six people were killed on Tuesday morning when a major highway bridge in Baltimore was struck by a container ship departing the harbor; a record $26 million was raised at a Democratic fundraiser featuring former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton; financier Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder of the failed crypto exchange FTX, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for defrauding customers and investors of his now-bankrupt firm; Brian Pritchard, first vice chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, who pushed false claims that the 2020 election was “stolen,” was found to have voted illegally nine times; and in (where else?) Florida, two 10-year-old boys - one the son of a deputy sheriff - were arrested after one of them sold a gun to the other for $300 ... at their elementary school.

Because Twitter (now "X") has turned into a depressing, steaming cesspool of angry right-wing balderdash and anti-Biden innuendo, I have finally decided to delete my account. In honor of this momentous decision, this week's cartoons look at the larger issue of social media ...

Social media addiction begins early ..  

Where else do you get affordable health care information? ...

It doesn't take quite as long nowadays ...

Yes, please look at the right screen ...

I tend to be suspicious of profile pictures in general ...

But sometimes they can be accurate ...

He thought he'd found the loophole ...

She'll show HIM! ...

Jury decisions in the age of social media ...

Uh, oh ...

And that's it for the last Cartoon Saturday for this month. It seems only logical that you may be reading this blog via a link from my Facebook page.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts coming.
