Older cartoon. Highly prophetic.
Gosh. International Pandemic, huh?
Enlarge. The small print to the right is pretty telling.
Sorry, JT. You are not serene, you are merely an empty vessel awaiting orders. You are not even bright enough to light up a fridge.
It may be chill but the trees are already doing their March bloom here in Victoria. These are the trees the local Liberal government wants to remove because their blossoms allegedly clog the streets during an inevitable spring storm later in March.
Considerations cartoonists must consider.
That is me but I am still going to stock up on a few things!

Appealing to the Common Core generation....
People all over the world are getting sick ~ many dying ~ from
coronavirus, and now that we’ve got some cases in the US, Capitol Hill
is finally getting off its rich, bloated ass and taking a whack at doing
something about a response. In classic Pelosi fashion, the House
Speaker babbled about making a vaccine “affordable”. AFFORDABLE.
Never mind that many Americans may die simply because they can’t
afford to be tested, let alone vaccinated; the typical response from
Queen Nancy is some tepid blathering about making a vaccine
“affordable”, whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean. If the goddamn
vaccine is going to be developed with tax money, then it should be free.
Say it with me, kids: fuck “affordable”; make it FREE.
Speaking of Fidel...
Fact
No matter how you look at it, though, this is a really sweet little cottage with a good lake view. Definitely unpretentious.
One of the most jaw-dropping moments of Wednesday's wildly out of
control Democratic debate occurred when frontrunner Bernie Sanders
managed to display both his misunderstanding of capitalism and his casual racism in a single statement.
Specifically, Bernie proclaimed that "we're going to provide help to the
African-American, Latino, and Native American community to start businesses to sell legal marijuana." Because, in Bernie's view, what the hell else
are "those people" qualified to do? It's not like they can aspire to be
doctors, electricians, lawyers, plumbers, teachers, computer
programmers, or senators ~ right?
Plus, what red-blooded American won't be thrilled to cast a vote for the
one candidate with a real plan to finally end our nation's sad shortage
of drug dealers?
Shockingly, but unsurprisingly, no other Democratic candidate on the
debate stage voiced any opposition to Sanders' ludicrous and offensive
statement. Apparently the party which wants to perpetually keep black
Americans on a plantation doesn't care that there's not much difference
between picking cotton or cannabis.
I prefer to believe we are never alone. My angels are very traditional.
For those unfamiliar with the vernacular, a "beard" was a woman who
married a gay man in order to help him pass as straight. And if she was really
good at her job, she'd also keep the guy from looking like a complete
daffodil when choosing bike helmets. Not that we're implying anything
about the Obamas, of course.
Especially since the real point of the cartoon is the CDC's potentially life-saving announcement that men need to shave off their beards
in order to get a good seal on the antiviral masks which may, or may
not, help them avoid becoming infected with the
soon-to-be-out-of-control coronavirus.
And while we don't yet have tremendous confidence in the CDC's ability to handle the crisis, we will admit that we were impressed by the highly detailed beard chart they created at taxpayer expense:
Seriously, who knew that facial hair came in styles called the French Fork, Chin Curtain, Balbo, Hulihee, Horseshoe, and Lampshade? And who the Hell do they think they're fooling by renaming the "Hitler" as the "Toothbrush"?!
Personally, we sport a wild and abundant ruff of white whiskers. A look which, in December, people fondly call the "Father Christmas" and the other eleven months of the year call the "creepy derelict." But the sad bottom line is that we're likely in for a close shave soon, and that "Locks of Love" will be wholly uninterested in a donation of our face pubes.
Stilton talks Coronavirus:
Today we're putting politics aside to speak about a genuinely serious issue: the continuing spread of Covid-19 (which we'll also call coronavirus, like everyone else does). First and foremost, we want to emphasize that this is not the time to panic!
(ding!)
Okay, now it's time! Well, not to actually panic ~ but to take the whole situation seriously enough that you start making some preparations while it's still easy to do so. But first, let's define what we're likely preparing for: not the apocalypse, not zombies walking in the streets, and not the collapse of society. No, those are the things that will happen if Bernie Sanders becomes president.
And here's some good news: even if you get the virus, the odds are wildly in favor of you surviving it. At least, the first time you get it (the next time may cause heart failure, because why the hell not?). But up to 20% of people will get pneumonia which may require hospital treatment, and 3% or more will Bite the Big One which, surprisingly, is not Pete Buttigieg's campaign slogan.
Now here's the bad news: it's a virtual certainty at this point that the virus cannot be contained, and it will be coming to your community. And it's a tricky little bastard! Covid-19 is wildly infectious and can be transmitted from touching infected surfaces or even breathing virus-contaminated air. The virus can be spread by people who are entirely asymptomatic, meaning that they will look, feel, and believe themselves to be healthy as they happily spread an illness which has a 1 in 33 chance of killing the people they interact with. Which also means that you could personally become a "spreader" without knowing it initially, because the virus can remain dormant (but infectious) for up to 24 days (don't believe the 14 day number you've heard ~ it's wrong, and a lot of people are being released from quarantine way too soon).
Hopefully, effective treatments and even a vaccine will become available ~ but don't bet on that happening before you suddenly find yourself in a "hot zone" (as is happening in more and more places worldwide. Imagine the surprise Italian villagers felt when they suddenly found their roads blocked by armed soldiers). Rather, we're all likely to be faced with an extended time in which social isolation (voluntary or compulsory) and supply chain disruption (seen the stock market the last couple of days? Yowsah!) is an uncomfortable new norm.
Which is why we're recommending that you (yes you!) lay in some supplies now which could get you through 2-4 weeks. We're assuming that regular utilities will continue to function, so we're really talking about food, emergency medical supplies, stocking up on prescription medications, toilet paper, paper towels and such. Bleach, cleaning wipes, and Purell will come in handy, too.
And booze. Lots of booze. Clan MacGregor, for instance, can be used to disinfect surfaces or as a germicidal to cleanse wounds. And, in event of a real emergency, you can even drink it!
And that's about all we're going to say about Covid-19 for now, because if we haven't convinced you yet to lay in at least a few supplies, we're not likely to change your mind. We will, however, point you to one of the online sources of information we've been following, which has proved accurate, ahead of the curve, and neither falsely inflammatory nor comforting in their daily updates over the past weeks.
Be safe out there, folks! And take comfort from the fact that large gatherings of people (like political conventions) are likely to soon fall out of fashion.

Why is the lamestream media ignoring this woman's crimes? I am even hearing about this from regular American news commentators who push for more publicity on this false creature. Her affair and dirty financial dealings with one of her people has caused divorce and despite photographic evidence of the couple, they still deny a relationship. The ongoing divorce proceedings from the wife are being hushed.
Ilhan is pushing this book of hers like a madwoman. Needless to say, she speaks truth in it!
99% of the genetic manipulation of these fruits was done over many years; the farmers utilized natural selection to accomplish most of the improvements for human consumption. It took GMO's to remove the seeds from that unnatural smooth watermelon above.

I found this photo of a house on line. It looked familiar. My best friend and her 6 siblings lived in it. Very traditional artistic Scottish family. I spent hours at the back of the house in the warm kitchen drinking tea with the Mom at an enormous long wooden table.
For at least 40 years I have felt like Kassandra. I actually considered it as my blog name for awhile.
Oh, yes. Forget some day and make it every day.
Recently unearthed bottles of very old whiskey. Well over 100 years old. Would you give it a sniff and taste? I would!
I look forward to the pool soon. Can't wait!

ReplyDeleteIt used to be reassuring to know that at least Canada was sane, but with the one-trick pony Justine Jew Dough preventing common sense from happening, Canada has joined the USA clown world.
ReplyDeleteCanada has not been sane for awhile, mon ami. This 11th generation Canuck is rather dismayed by how JR is allowing this to go on. But since his intention is to destroy this nation, he is doing his job very well.
DeleteSeems to be a lot about American politics lately. Noor, I suspect you spend too much time watching American television. It's not good for you, you know.
ReplyDeleteI work with what I can find. Alas Canadians don't have many right slanted cartoonists. There has also been, if you have noted, a HUGE shut down against international cartoonists expressing truth. So where once were good selections, there is only right idiocy that I won't post. Freedom of speech everywhere is being shut down when it comes to cartoons. I am sorry if that bothers you but it is, alas, the way it goes. Canadian content is almost all Pro Trudeau and there is no way I can do that!
DeleteGreat selection as always Noor, really like how you intersperse with the nature photos. The birds nest in the paraffin lamp was heart warming. Thank you.
