This guy John Atkinson has a heck of a sense of humor. See his clever cartoons at Wrong Hands if you need a laugh. Here's a sampling taken straight from his pages:
He sure knows how to make a person feel old.
It's about time someone finally addressed this. Monsters have feelings too, you know.
Check out Wrong Hands. You'll be glad you did. Via MissCellania.
While noting that the rings may be the most difficult apparatus in gymnasts' sport, TheAtlanticWire.com asks If This Is the Olympics, Where Are the Rings? Not to worry, we've found them.
Oops. Poor old Barack, all tangled up in problems of his own making, aided and abetted by a mainstream media enthralled with the image they created.
Isn't Erin Bonsteel a terrific cartoonist? More of her magnificent work can be found at AntiAntiUnderground.com.
Did you ever see an amusing Tweet and think, "That should be a cartoon caption?" That's where Twaggies.com comes in. It's a site where visitors can submit Tweets they think are funny, and if an artist agrees, it shows on the site as a cute cartoon.
It's a lot more work drawing a picture than it is posting a one-liner. So it's fun to scroll down to see what they came up with.
This cartoon pretty much sums up what a lot of people feel about the government these days. But the government is merely system of rules. It's the people in charge who are doing plundering.
But it's a good cartoon, nonetheless. How about that guy flying Obama flags? The toon comes from Imgur.com.
Bloggers love 'em. Or maybe they hate 'em.
They are the people out there who seem obsessed with other people's mistakes and can't wait to tell them about it. Maybe it's the I'm-smarter-than-that-jerk syndrome. This clever cartoon exaggerates the situation, but that's what makes it so funny.
Found here but originally from ShoeBoxBlog.com.
My all time favorite 9-11 cartoon.
(In case it doesn't load properly, the cartoon shows a group of horrified mullahs reading a note saying "To the Taliban, give us Osama or we'll send your women to college.")
Fortunately, it was just a Facebook riot.
Apparently there was a picture of Mickey and Minnie Mouse dressed in full cover Muslim garb circulating on the web in Egypt, and a Christian businessman reposted them on Twitter. Oops.
Here come the Facebook protests from angry Muslims claiming to be offended. And "The prosecutor general's office said a group of Salafist Muslim lawyers had filed a complaint accusing Mr Sawiris of religious contempt." Link.
The potential for prosecution aside, isn't it nice that it's just an internet riot this time?
The concept of an Arabic suicide bomber is certainly not a new one. Porky Pig battled one in this 1940s cartoon.

The colorized original can also be found at Archive.org which notes, along with some technical information, the following:
The Arabs look evil and behave really bad in this racist cartoon, but the heroic pig looks a little strange too. There are no references to religion here, but some of the Arab stereotypes depicted have been revitalized in recent caricatures of Muslims, notably in the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.
Spoiler alert! !
Suicide Bomber runs at the fort with a bomb strapped to his head. Porky opens the front door, Ms. Camel and Junior Camel open the back door, and Suicide Bomber runs straight through the fort smack dab into his fellow thugs, Ali Baba and his Dirty Sleeves.
Th th th that's all folks!
Yesterday was a beautiful snow day here in Midland, Texas, except for those who had to actually drive or work in it. The poor souls.
The Midland Reporter-Telegram tells us that the NWS counted 4.5 inches and that yesterday's snow fall set a local record for February.
It's been a cold winter. Rex and the Snowman talk it over.
Let's hope there's a cool summer coming.
