Cartoon Saturday


As my Dad would have said, if this week had been a fish, I'd have thrown it back.

An ICE agent in Minnesota murdered a mother of two protesting their actions, who was immediately labeled a "domestic terrorist" by the administration; when asked in a New York Times interview whether there were any limits on his international power, Der Furor replied, "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me;" NASA has decided to cut a space station mission short because of a "medical issue" involving one of its astronauts; in the Philippines, two persons were killed and 36 are missing after a landfill collapsed, burying them in a mountain of garbage; and an analysis of records from 117 mammal species kept in zoos and aquariums around the world has indicated that animals receiving ongoing hormonal contraception or undergoing permanent surgical sterilization lived about ten percent longer on average ... whether they enjoy life less without sex was not indicated. 

This week, just because it feels so appropriate to the moment, a collection of cartoons featuring Pandora and the box-that-shall-not-be-opened ... 

I'll be she wishes it were so ...


Pandora as a mischievous child ...


It probably seemed like a good idea at the time ...


Take two ...


Nowadays, it could happen ...


TSA vs Pandora ...


I've made that mistake myself ...


Uh, oh ...


I think we all have one of those ...


Makes for easier delivery, doesn't it? ...


And that's your Pandora-themed Cartoon Saturday for this week ... I wonder if Der Furor is familiar with the story.

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

I frequently have that 'what did I order" thought while staring at a box on the porch.
