Cartoon Saturday

Less than a week until Christmas ... how's that peace-on-earth-and-good-will-toward-men-thing working out for you?

In his latest example of unpresidential childishness, Der Furor has installed insulting plaques - many of which he claims to have written himself - underneath presidential portraits in the Gilt House; former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers in a closed-door interview that his team of investigators “developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Der Furor had criminally conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election; the Gilt House announced that Der Furor's handpicked board had voted to rename Washington’s leading performing arts center as the Trump-Kennedy Center ... less than one day later, workers had already installed Der Furor's name on the facade of the building in defiance of the law; after six hours of debate, a jury in Milwaukee found Judge Hannah Dugan, accused of helping a Mexican immigrant dodge federal authorities waiting outside her courtroom, guilty of obstruction; and in Texas, officials from a Houston-area megachurch expressed “regret” after a woman was unexpectedly kicked in the face by a camel during a live Christmas presentation.

You know you need the cartoons ... let's get to 'em -

Back when I had my own radio show, the calm baritone was always an asset in delivering bad news ... 

It always works for me, although I do tend to wake up distressingly early ...

Do you suppose this is the dolphin dream? ...

Too late, Howard ...

I wonder if this is part of the ongoing construction at the White House ...

If you're a grandparent, you know it's true. If you're a grandparent whose grandchildren are older, you know you miss it ...

National group therapy ...

I like the underbed option better ...

I've often thought that the people who estimate the amount of time a recipe takes have a small army of people to do all the mise-en-place* work for them ahead of time ...

Republican Santa ...

And that's it for the last Cartoon Saturday before Christmas - I hope it's taken your mind off the frantic last-minute holiday preparations.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for a holiday parent-themed Poetry Sunday. More thoughts then.
