THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: June 24-30 Edition

 The last week of June started with a bang as the Wagner Group spent one whole day instigating a coup before they calmly said, “Never mind!” It ended with a whimper as smoke from the Canadian forest  fires continued to blanket the Midwest before heading south. Where’s Smoky the Bear when we need him? Madonna was hospitalized, Alan Arkin passed away, and the Supreme Court’s poll ratings are on life support. How did the internet take to all the latest news?

A high point was when  four lost children in the Amazon jungle were found alive and well. The Unibomber died, baseball season is in full swing, and tornadoes are back in season. As usual, the internet has its say. Let’s check it out.

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: May27-June 2 Edition

 This week brings us the joyful month of June. The school year is over, vacation season has begun, and the debt ceiling is being lifted to the clear blue sky! Chick-Fil-A is accused of going woke for hiring  a director of diversity. The anti-wokes threaten to boycott the franchise, but only on Sundays. The nation mourned as two popular cable shows, Ted Lasso and Succession, came to an end. And the sound of the ice cream truck was heard in our land. So, what was social media up to?
