Cartoon Saturday

You've almost made it to the end of March, and the news hasn't been any better this week than in the other weeks ... it has, in fact, been worse.

Der Furor placed a 25% tariff on all imported cars, a move all but certain to add thousands of dollars to the cost of new cars and drive down auto sales ... and warned the auto industry not to raise prices because of those tariffs; the top national security officials of the US government traded sensitive operational military information on a commercial messaging app, not realizing that they had also invited a reporter to be a member of the group, then minimized the scale of the security disaster and blamed everyone but themselves; a Kansas babysitter who looked under a child's bed to prove that there not a monster there discovered a man hiding there, who fled and was later arrested by police; a group of masked men, not in uniform and claiming to be federal agents, abducted a 30-year-old Turkish graduate student in Boston, put her into an unmarked car, and shipped her to a prison in Louisiana, allegedly because she had “engaged in activities in support of Hamas;” and in Texas, a man has sued the person who keyed his Tesla in an airport parking lot for $1 million, citing damage to the car, lost wages, and "emotional duress." 

This week, because the price of eggs is something that Der Furor still hasn't done anything to address, being too busy churning out royal decrees executive orders to address his personal bugbears, let's enjoy a collection of cartoons about chickens. 

I wonder if her Medichick benefits cover it ...

I can see where this would be a problem ...

It's not a good sign ...

Well, that sums it up pretty well ...

For sending fowl language messages ...

For the literature fans among you ...

I always wondered how that was done ...

Uh, oh ...

Well, yes, but ...

From the International Division of the Really Awful Pun Agency ...

And there you have it - proof positive that Bilbo will never chicken out on his responsibility to get you a few laughs in this far-from-funny time!

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when we have our last Poetry Sunday of the month. See you then!
