Cartoon Saturday

Well, so much for July being an improvement on June ...

Der Furor traveled to Florida this week to open a bleak new migrant detention facility nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz;" the Senate passed Der Furor's "One, Big, Beautiful Bill" on Tuesday after Vice Emperor Vance cast the tie-breaking vote; Paramount announced that it has agreed to pay Der Furor $16 million to settle his lawsuit over the editing of a 2024 Kamala Harris interview on the CBS News program “60 Minutes,” possibly to grease the skids for the administration's approval of the proposed sale of Paramount to Hollywood studio Skydance; Andrey Bedelov, Vice President of Russia's "Transneft" company, died on Friday after falling from his Moscow apartment window (wink, wink); and in Orlando, Florida, a driver clocked at 104 mph on Monday became the first person arrested under Florida’s new "Super Speeder" law ... the law went into effect at 12:01 AM on July 1st, and the unlucky winner was arrested two minutes later.

As the beat goes with Der Furor's boasting over Congress's passage and his signature of the Billionaire Enhancement Act, I thought a collection of cartoons about piñatas would be appropriate ...

Well, there's that ...

I don't want to have to beat it out of you ...

For real ...

Her expression says otherwise ...

Well, where did you think piñatas came from? ...

Whoever strikes first ...

Oops ...

Piñata ultrasound ...

It was an honest mistake ...

You'd think they'd have thought of that sooner ...

And sic transit gloria Cartoon Saturday for the first Saturday in July ... aren't you glad there's no sound, since you're probably still deaf from the past week of fireworks?

Have a good day and a great holiday weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Poetry Sunday returns. See you then.
