Cartoon Saturday

The new year is only three days old and I already want my money back.

Around 40 people were killed and more than a hundred injured in a fire at a New Year's Eve party in a Swiss ski resort; Der Furor announced (on social media, of course) that the United States had carried out “a large scale strike against Venezuela” and had captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife; Zoram Mamdahni was sworn in as the first Muslim mayor of New York City; Der Furor warned Iran’s government that Washington was “locked and loaded” and ready to intervene if authorities kill protesters demonstrating against the clerical regime;  and the mayor of Derwent Valley in Tasmania has issued an statement warning local residents not to eat public toilet seats after bite marks were discovered on a public toilet seat.

It's the first Cartoon Saturday of the new year, and we'll go with a random collection because, why not? 

Perhaps it really is time to rethink how our healthcare system works ...

One wonders if this is how it really happened ...

I prefer the old-fashioned church social, but what do I know? ...

When your wedding planner is a Second Amendment zealot ...

History classes were a lot easier back then ...

I've been waiting for Karoline Leavitt to start doing this for a while, now ...

If you've ever lived in a community with one of those hypercontrolling homeowners' associations, you'll appreciate this one ...

and this one ...

I tune in the same way ...

I wonder if this is how Der Furor would like to deal with Fed Chair Jerome Powell ...

And with that, our first Cartoon Saturday of the new year comes to an end. I hope you enjoyed it, and it helped you ease into the first full week of 2026.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts coming.
