Cartoon Saturday


Can we just reset the calendar to a better time? Like the 14th Century, maybe?

In its ongoing war against the unspeakable horrors of DEI, Der Furor’s administration has repealed the decades-old requirement for explicit prohibitions against segregated restaurants, waiting rooms, and drinking fountains; billionaire Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick suggested this week that only "fraudsters" would complain about missing a monthly Social Security check, and that most people wouldn't mind if the government simply skipped a payment; the fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza ended this week as Israel launched a wave of air strikes against the enclave; Tesla has recalled almost all of its Swasticars Cybertrucks to fix a problem with body panels that suddenly fall off because the adhesives holding them to the frame are subject to "environmental embrittlement;" on Thursday, Der Furor signed a new (probably unconstitutional and illegal), cautiously-worded royal decree executive order to begin killing the Department of Education*; and in Philadelphia, a man is in critical condition with third degree burns to his face and upper body after nearly electrocuting himself and cutting power to 1500 homes and businesses when he tried to steal copper wire that was carrying live current.

Since Der Furor is so wildly hysterical about alien invasion, why not a collection of cartoons about real alien invasions this week?

Yes, don't ask ...


My kind of alien ...


I guess demonstrations are a cross-cultural thing ...


It is, now ...


I guess they'd think so ...


Ya think? ...


It probably won't be sung at the Kennedy Center, now that it's under new management ...


I can understand why they'd feel that way ...


You say tomato, I say tomahto ...


Probably not ...


And that's it for this week's alien-themed Cartoon Saturday. Maybe someday soon they can pick up the Orange Airhorn and probe him for anything resembling intelligence and empathy. Maybe they have instruments sensitive enough to detect it.

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

* Well, what use do the Orange Airhorn and his MAGAts have for education, anyhow?

No alien here, but my most commonly used phrase during my recent travels was "Donde es el baño?"

That might as well be the nations capital.

Good laughs, especially the first one!

The first one is hilarious, and the rest are good, too :) May I just vent for a moment and say that one of the many things that annoy me about Musk (as opposed to enraging me) is the way he describes his failures, like his spaceships that blow up ("rapid unscheduled disassembly, or something like that"). Grow up and own the truth, boo, it FAILED

(that was in response to the "environmental embrittlement" which no doubt is his literary work too)
