THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: November 11-17 Edition


This was a week of  drops - dropping gas prices, dropping inflation rates, dropping travel delays, and dropping ethics in Congress. War continues in the Middle East; Joe Manchin will not run again for his Senate seat; some Trump or other took the witness stand; and Marjory Taylor Green said something stupid. Naturally, the internet was noisy about all the goings on. Let’s check it out!

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: September 23-29 Edition

 This week, we are sad at the passing of the  oldest sitting member of the Senate,  Dianne Feinstein.  She was 90 years old and still performing her Congressional duties just the day before. Meanwhile, McCarthy & Co are threatening to shut down the US government while also trying to draw up articles of impeachment against President Biden.  New York is victim to the latest weather disaster. There was lots of sports ball. And we say goodbye to September. Let’s see what the internet was up to.

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: September 9-15 Edition

This week brought some crazy football shenanigans with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, Joe Burrows, not living up to his “highest paid contract in history” with a loss to the beleaguered Cleveland Browns. The oft-dismissed Detroit Lions beat the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Then, the anticipated arrival of Aaron Rogers on the NY Jets was a bust - literally. More climate disaster as floods roared through Libya, killing tens of thousands of people. In the US, we commemorated 9/11, still grateful it hasn’t turned into a day of mattress sales. The internet was out in full force with all the news. Let’s check in.

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: September 2-8 Edition

 

If you go by the name of Mother Earth, this has not been your best week. A horrific and unusual earthquake in Morocco has taken thousands of lives, with the death toll rising. The Black Rock desert in Nevada flooded, stranding Burning Man attendees. Hurricane Lee is churning in the Atlantic, heading for the east coast. Also, the ocean is a little bit sadder due to the death of troubadour and bon vivant Jimmy Buffett. Somehow, the interwebbery still managed to provide some laughs. Let's check it out.

It’s been quite the week for Florida! Hurricane Idalia barreled though the Panhandle. There was a tragic, racially-motivated  mass murder in Jacksonville. And Ron DeSantis is still Governor. For the rest of us, it’s the arrival of Football season, Do You Want Some Of My Home-Grown Tomatoes Please season, and Time To Get Out the Hoodies Season. Naturally, social media had a lot to say. Let’s check in.
