Cartoon Saturday

A new month brings new challenges to our sanity ...

Der Furor and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned more than 800 senior military leaders to Quantico Marine Corps Base on Tuesday for a lecture on military standards and leadership, a topic on which neither man had relevant experience equivalent to the most junior member of the audience; the Treasury Department has developed, and is prepared to issue, a dollar coin with the image of Der Furor ... which would the be unlawful*; Der Furor and Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled a detailed plan, with no input from Palestinian representatives, to end the war in Gaza; Dr Jane Goodall, the world's leading authority on chimpanzees, died at the age of 91; and in North Korea, Kim Jong Un has ordered undercover agents and neighborhood patrols to check North Korean women for ‘un-socialist’ breast implants ... before you ask - no, I don't know where you can sign up.

It's the first Saturday in October, and as we enter the Halloween season, we begin our tradition of Halloween-themed Cartoon Saturdays, starting with today's homage to Dr Frankenstein's favorite son.

I think the cop would be well advised to take it ...

It's an interesting conundrum ...

I'd prefer a gin and tonic, myself, but whatever works ...

Either that or yoga ...

There are times I wish that was possible ...

As long as he uses the Mac OS rather than Windows Whatever ...

It's an interesting approach ...

He's a natural for the Ikea treatment ...

This one's for my friend Birgitte, who - as far as I know - has never once had her name properly spelled on a Starbucks order ...

Keeping the paperwork up to date ...

And that's our salute to the Frankensteins to kick off our Halloween-themed cartoons for October. Remember: "Cartoons good! Fire bad!"

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when we start the Halloween series of Musical Sunday offerings ... see you then.
