THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: Week of August 19-25

 
Friends, is it even worth talking about anything except the Mug Shot Seen 'Round the World? Granted, we had Tropical Storm Hilary which the Republicans were hoping to indict. A young man named Oliver Anthony somehow went viral with a song that began as a judgement against greedy politicians and cooperate oligarchs, but meandered into a gripe about welfare people eating all his Fudge Rounds. We also lost a wonderful actor, Ron Cephus Jones, known to the This Is Us fandom as William. But, the internet had only one thing on its mind this week. "Bring out the mug shot!" And they did! Let's check it out.

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes: August 12-18 Edition



It seems some people have some ‘splainin’ to do. Besides the usual suspect, Donald Trump, this week’s indictees include Rudy Guiliani, John Eastman, Sydney Powell and Jenna Ellis. Looks like the lights finally  came back on in Georgia! Smoke still rises from the devastation of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. Schools are back in session. And Elvis has been dead for 46 years. Despite Twitter being on life support, the internet had plenty to say. Let’s check in.

THE FUNNY PAPERS, The Week In Memes: July 29-August 4 Edition



 With another week in the books, we saw the arrival of the least favorite month to school kids and teachers everywhere - August. Between the dog days, school supply lists, and the Christmas decorations on store shelves, the end of summer is in sight. This week, Mike Pence is on the “He really did lose the election” tour; Rudy Guilliani is sweating hair dye;  Ginni Thomas is begging donors to hide her in a Swiss Bank Account,  all thanks to a certain indictment report. We lost a beloved actor and children’s entertainer, Paul Reubens. And the recession we were all worried about has gone into hiding. What say you, internet?
