Cartoon Saturday


Today is June 7th, and we're just about halfway through 2025. Oy ...

After months of bitterly fighting to keep from returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia, mistakenly sent to a grim prison in El Salvador, to the United States, Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced he is back in the country but will remain in prison and face numerous charges; the feud between President Musk and Der Furor exploded into the open, with Der Furor threatening to cancel contracts with Musk's companies and Musk threatening to decommission his Dragon-X space capsules, which are NASA's only way to get astronauts and supplies to and from the International Space Station; Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, has defended his proposal to grow his own staff by 4% even as nearly every federal agency faces the prospects of drastic workforce cuts, saying he needs the additional staff because of the added strains being placed on his agency; and in Maryland, a former state police corporal who reached out to a drug dealer and sold him the identity of a confidential informant for $1,500, has been sentenced to six years in federal prison.

I'm feeling lazy this week, so we'll just do another random selection of cartoons from the waiting-to-be-filed folder ...

Uh, oh ...


It's similar to one of those stores that hawks Der Furor swag ...


Things are a bit different now from what I learned in Sunday School ...


It's been a parental complaint longer than we thought ...


It's the IV I'd have chosen ...


How the MAGAts would look at it ...


The Doomsday Clock was defunded to provide tax cuts for billionaires ...


It's clever, but subtle ...


I completely understand ...


The royalties on this one must be enormous ...


And that's it for this week's Cartoon Saturday ... I hope it gave you a few chuckles to help get you over the first week of June.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Poetry Sunday summons back a childhood classic from Robert Louis Stevenson. See you then.

    Love the doomsday jack in the box but was it really defunded?
