Cartoon Saturday

Silly you ... you thought things would be better once we got past the chaos of March.

Der Furor's administration has admitted to mistakenly deporting a man to a notorious El Salvador prison, but says it can't bring him back; on Tuesday afternoon (after the stock market closed), Der Furor imposed a round of huge tariffs on nearly every country on earth (including a remote island inhabited only by penguins) ... in response, markets tanked and the S&P 500 index lost $2.5 trillion; apparently at the urging of far-right activist Laura Loomer, the Orange Airhorn fired several senior national security figures, including the director of the National Security Agency (although no one involved in "Signalgate") for the offense of being insufficiently loyal to the PINO; and a declassified CIA report on an incident from 35 years ago claims that a Russian surface-to-air missile downed a UFO, from the wreckage of which shape-shifting aliens emerged to massacre responding soldiers with an explosive energy burst.

This week, in honor of the professionalism and dedication of President Musk, PINO Der Furor, and their amazing appointees, I thought a batch of cartoons about clowns would be appropriate. But because there are a great many sub-genres of clown cartoons, we'll narrow this week's selections to cartoons about famously-overstuffed clown cars. 

I actually have at least two more cartoons in my collection that riff on this idea ...

Yes ... yes, it is ...

Clown cars have stupid decals, too ...

I've known a lot of used car salesmen who were clowns ...

It's not a question he gets every day ...

Busted! ...

Starting early ...

Didn't you wonder how they did the trick before cars were invented? ...

It would surely help ...

It's job security of a sort ...

And that's it for this first Cartoon Saturday of the new month ... sadly, we now have to go back to dealing with real clowns. And they're not funny.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when we open the door to Musical Sunday and usher in a timely classic from Grace Jones. See you then!
