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.

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. 

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?
