Along with today's 'toon, Tom Tomorrow (Dan Perkins) included the following message:
Well, I think I made it to the end of another week with a cartoon that won’t be obsolete by the time it goes live tomorrow morning. This one seems pretty self-explanatory, so in lieu of additional commentary, here is a picture of Felix the cat [See below] who has finally discovered that he can climb on top of my 55 gallon aquarium. Since I’m hoping not to come home sometime and find the cat swimming in the aquarium, I went to the hardware store and bought a board to put on top, and on top of that there’s now an odd assortment of items with which I’m trying to make it difficult for him to get up there, and a layer of aluminum foil, which I’m told cats find it unpleasant for him to walk on. It’s probably a losing battle.
Until next week,
Tom/Dan
Muttered sighs over the cat picture aside, today's 'toon features a
colloquy between a pair of Forever Trumpers who both voice the usual bromides uttered by The *ILK (*Impeached But Not Removed) Lyin' King and his damnable minions. Panel by panel, this pair of True Believers utter nothing but the lines uttered by The *ILK in his Hitlerite "rallies." If this is a (fair & balanced) illustration of our 3 (Three) Pandemics — COVID-19, Murder-By-Cop, and Treason — that continue to contribute to our national misery, so be it.
