Monday afternoon seems like just about as good a time as any for a bit of political humour, don’t you think? I’ve been collecting political cartoons for the past week or so and it’s time to clean out the file and share some of them! Mind you that you have to consider the broader definition of the word “humour” here, for it’s a darker humour than, say, a Pickles cartoon or Charlie Brown & Snoopy, but the political cartoonists have an innate understanding of what is happening in our world, and the talent to reduce a situation into a single image.
Look closely at the images in the letters on this one
Dr. Caitlin Bernard, Indiana law, abortion, 10-year old, rape victim, political cartoon
Putin, Lukashenko, nucleau weapons, Belarus, Russia, Ukrains Warm, political cartoon

I put them in the category of ‘Sad but true’. Especially the ‘Handmaids’ in the Florida post-card.
Best wishes, Pete.

Yes, that’s the right category. Sad but true, or Scary but true.

I did love that one!!! I’ve only seen that movie once, several years ago. Maybe I should start watching Disney movies again to relieve the stress of the political situation! Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great week ahead, my friend!

Jill, these toons are funny, but in some respects, scary. I think the roaches from the future are as scary as the roaches in office eating our food and infesting our walls. In Florida, they have these palmetto bugs that can fly. That is a metaphor for a couple of its occupants who have been elected. Keith

Brings to mind that old saying that “truth is stranger than fiction”. My mother used to live on South Padre Island, Texas, and they had palmetto bugs, too … scary critters! But still, I’ll take any bug or rodent over the people you’re referring to.
