Cartoon Saturday


As if the Halloween season weren't scary enough ...

Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first stage of a Gaza peace agreement; Der Furor's Personal Vengeance Tour continued with indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James; the federal government shutdown continued as the Office of Management and Budget announced "substantial" firings of federal employees; the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded - to the anger of Der Furor and his acolytes - to Venezuelan democracy activist MarĂ­a Corina Machado; at least 19 people are missing following a huge explosion at an explosives plant in Tennessee; and according to media reports, Zimbabwean opposition lawmaker Desire Moyo was killed when the vehicle in which he was traveling hit an elephant.

This week, the second Cartoon Saturday of the Halloween season, features cartoons about the original walking dead: mummies.

My local Giant supermarket runs a close second ...


Oh, the horror!


I'll bet he always wanted to say that ...


A truly brilliant short-cut, lost to history ...


A double pun!


Mummy practical jokes ...


Uh, oh ...


I can only imagine ...


Well, what else would he recommend?


A matter of perspective ...


And yes, that's a wrap for this week's cartoon tribute to mummies - I hope it took some of the sour edge off the news.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Poetry Sunday continues our salute to the Halloween season by exhuming a classic from the great Edgar Allan Poe. See you then.
