THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: February 25-March 3 Edition

I was fully prepared for this to be a slow news week. Who could have predicted that, while earthquakes continue to devastate Syria and Turkey,  Lauren Boebert  would announce her pronouns are Ultra and Maga? Who knew that, as the Pacific Northwest got walloped by powerful storms,  Marjorie Taylor Green would continue to make the case for the Red States divorcing the Blue? (Personally, I'd like to know the terms.Who gets custody of the Great Lakes?) But could anyone have predicted that Cancel Culture would come in like a lion? Let's see what people are saying about the goings on this week!


Anyone who tuned into SNL to watch 5th-time host, Woody Harrelson, deliver his monolog fully expected to catch a secondary buzz via osmosis through the TV screen. We didn't expect to have that buzz harshed by his clever inclusion of a rant against Big Pharma. But, here we are. 







Scott Adams, creator of the comic strip “Dilbert,” also took a hit after releasing one of his many problematic podcasts. “How dare you cancel Dilbert,” screamed people who haven’t subscribed to a newspaper in a decade. 









Meanwhile, March arrived right on time - on March 1.  “It’s my favorite month,” said no one, ever.







This also means it’s Women’s History Month, unless you live in Florida where DeSantis has scrapped it for “Short Men With Napoleon Complex Month.” 












That’s it for this week! Stay safe out there. And if you live in the north, stay warm!
