The Week’s Best Cartoons 9/3

Filosofa's Word

The biggest topic for the political cartoonists this past week has once again been … the former guy.  I don’t know about you all, but I’m pretty sick and tired of seeing his name and his ugly mug wherever I look on the ‘net.  That said, with the investigations into his business, his criminal mishandling of classified documents, and his involvement in the January 6th attempted coup, there is reason for the news media to continue covering those things, and the cartoonists to continue drawing cartoons about him.  He’s just so damn easy to make cartoons about, for he IS a cartoon.  Nonetheless, when I checked out TokyoSand’s weekly cartoon collection to reblog here, while still impressed by the talent of the cartoonists, I selected mostly ones that were not about the former guy for this brief sampling.  But please do click on the link at the bottom of this…

The Gifts of Freedom

Silent Songs of Sonsnow

The Gifts of Freedom

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom,
That a singer may sing-
May sing in Joy.

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom,
That a dancer may dance-
May dance in Ecstasy.

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom,
That an athlete may Excel-
May excel with Pride.

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom, 
That an artist may Flower-
May flower to Fruition.

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom,
That each may find their self-
And each their sense of Dignity.
