God Bless the Republic of Texas

in #hurricaneharvey7 years ago (edited)

Since Hurricane Harvey first hit Texas over the weekend, I've been studiously avoiding weather reports and most hurricane related news. This evening, after finishing my Tuesday workout, doing a little housework and taking a shower, I settled down to relax in my room and fought the urge to fast-forward through the network news. As I watched the ABC World News Tonight , I also browsed my GoComics favorites and found two outstanding editorial cartoons in the Pulitzer Prize Winners section—one by Walt Handelsman and the other by Clay Bennett.

I decided to share them here...

Wonderful. How many of the readers get irony? Must see his cartoons. Thank you for sharing will follow. JV

Not sure which artist you were referring to but I assume it's the second one with the Red and Blue guys holding the banner. Yes, that cartoon is ironic, but nowadays irony in the news is plentiful: http://www.ironictimes.com/

Yes it was and I agree about the news and I'm not talking of fake news! Good luck in the years ahead.
