Cartoon Saturday

So you thought December might be better than November? Wanna buy a bridge? 

The head of one of the nation’s largest health insurers was gunned down in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday morning in what the police called a “brazen targeted attack;” two children - aged 5 and 6 - were murdered at their kindergarten school in Oroville, California, although the murder (by gun, of course) didn't receive much coverage because it happened the same day as the murder of a high-profile CEO; billionaire Elon Musk spent $250 million - a quarter of a billion dollars - to support Der Furor's presidential campaign, not counting his transformation of the former Twitter into a fountain of free advertising and promotion for DF's campaign; Pete Hegseth, Der Furor's nominee for Secretary of Defense, appears unlikely be confirmed by the Senate, leaving Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (!) as a possible replacement; and in Texas, a first-grade teacher who revoked bathroom privileges for her students as a lesson in responsibility after a restroom pass went missing is under fire from outraged parents after six children in her care suffered predictable accidents. 

Why not stick with a good thing? Here's another collection of random cartoons ... 

This is how my daughter sees it ...

There's a lot of reliance on it nowadays ...

This is the part that didn't make it into the story of David and Goliath ...

Ah, yes ... memories of my days on the dance floor ...

Hope for the best, plan for the worst and most expensive ...

I'll take the giant beast. How much worse can it be? ...

Interviews for positions in Der Furor's administration ...

Best summary of it that I've seen in a long time ...

It's a feature, not a bug ...

If I ever get my novel-in-progress in front of an editor, I think it'll go something like this ...

And that's it for the first Cartoon Saturday of December. I hope you enjoyed it.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday, and a cautionary Christmas tale. More thoughts then.
