Cartoon Saturday

The dog days of 2025 drag on as we suffer through another hot, humid, and politically ghastly week ...

The State Department announced it will require visa applicants from many countries to post a bond of as much as $15,000 to make sure they do not overstay their visas; Israel announced that it intends to take military control of Gaza City as Prime Minister Netanyahu said the ultimate goal of Israeli operations is to take full control of the Gaza Strip; five soldiers were wounded when another soldier exercised his Second Amendment rights in a shooting spree at Fort Stewart in Georgia; Der Furor has ordered the Commerce Department to begin work on a new, out-of-cycle, and questionably Constitutional census that excludes immigrants in the U.S. illegally; and in (where else) Florida, a woman has been arrested and charged with posing as a registered nurse after providing medical services to 4,486 patients between June 2024 and January 2025.

This week, because most of us are praying that we survive until America returns to normal, I thought a collection of cartoons about religion would be appropriate. 

Now, that's my kind of rapture ...

I'm reminded of the old pun about the man who's dyslexic, agnostic, apathetic - he doesn't know if there's a dog or not, but doesn't really care ...

Worshiping with the Christian right ...

Just finishing up his letter of resignation ...

And boy, are they doing it ...

It's always better to be the one offering up the sacrifice than it is to be the one sacrificed ...

He obviously didn't read the fine print ...

I'm sure he's been tempted plenty of times ...

The Heavenly Reserve is not doing its job ...

And we finish up with this classic cartoon that pretty much sums up the whole idea ...

And so ends another Cartoon Saturday, let me hear you say "hallelujah!" Have a good day and a great weekend, and be sure to come back tomorrow for Musical Sunday, when we revisit a classic tune by Tom Paxton that never gets old ... and is more timely than ever now. More thoughts then.
