Cartoon Saturday

I just got up ... who has Der Furor threatened today?

Der Furor linked his aggressive stance on Greenland to last year’s decision not to award him the Nobel Peace Prize, telling Norway’s prime minister that he no longer felt “an obligation to think purely of Peace,” then delivered an hour-long, insulting speech to foreign leaders gathered for the annual Davos Economic Forum; the birthrate in mainland China has fallen to its lowest level on record, continuing a demographic crisis that has been growing for years; more than 40 people were killed and dozens injured when two high-speed trains collided in Spain; and officials at the Department of Homeland Security have urged disaster response personnel to avoid using the word “ice” in public messaging about the huge winter storm hitting the United States, fearing it would spark confusion with or mockery of the brutal and controversial actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel.

This week, a collection of cartoons that promise a whale of a good laugh ... featuring Moby Dick and Captain Ahab ...

Commiserating at the bar ...

Definitely don't allow ...

It's a matter of perspective ...

You just can't hide some things from the neighbors ...

Comma placement is important ...

Aye, 'tis a twisted tale ...

You can't hide on the Internet ...

It's a thing for alpha whales, too ...

Social faux pas in the pod ...

When the barkeep's your friend ...

And that's it for our Cartoon Saturday salute to Ahab and Moby - I hope it helped you get over the news of the week.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and please be careful during the winter storm hitting the nation. Look out for your neighbors, and take care of each other ... we'll be hunkering down under piles of Agnes's nice, warm quilts.

More thoughts tomorrow, when Musical Sunday returns with a much-needed soothing tune from Judy Collins. See you then.
