Cartoon Saturday


Wouldn't it be nice if we could get a refund on this past week?

The astronauts of Artemis II returned safely to earth after man's first trip around the moon in more than 50 years; First Lady Melania Furor gave a puzzling press briefing in which she responded to questions about her relationship to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that no one had asked; Der Furor, although he has long championed the American steel industry and placed stiff tariffs on imported steel, is reported to have secured tens of millions of dollars’ worth of donated foreign steel for construction of his gigantic White House ballroom; Ohio prosecutors say that a 37-year-old man is the first person to be convicted under a new federal law for using AI-generated, sexually explicit images of women to intimidate and harass them; and in India, renowned cow protector Chandrashekhar, also known as Farsa Wale Baba, was killed by cow smugglers, sparking outrage among the nation’s cow protection community.

This week, in "honor" of our battered and insanely expensive health care system, a collection of cartoons about our national health care adventure.

This is about what many people can afford nowadays ...


If it's covered by your insurance, so much the better ...


That bill was big and beautiful for sure ... just not for you ...


It's a start ...


Checking the most important vital sign of all ...


They all work better when taken that way ...


It's how things work under RFK, Jr.'s, "leadership" ...


Most accurate diagnosis, ever ...


Variations on the medical symbol of the Staff of Asclepius - from left to right, top row first: "Obstetrics," "Pediatrics," "Anesthesiology," "Surgery," "Orthopedics," "Pain Management," "Gastroenterology," "Cardiology," "Radiology," and "Pathology" ...


This is absolutely true of every doctor's office I've ever waited in ...


I hope today's collection of cartoons has helped heal your attitude after a week of being mentally injured by terrible news.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for a Poetry Sunday salute to the founder of the Salvation Army. More thoughts then.
