Some Offbeat Humor in These Perilous Times

NEW SURVIVAL TECHNIQUE: During a heat wave or fights on the reef, clown fish can actually shrink themselves to survive. This is wildly more successful than humans’ tactic for handling heat/conflict resolution—-getting really upset and letting it ruin your day.
The Morning Brew

I like that one because it reminds me of years ago when Andy and I were riding a train to Paris one hot, sticky evening. A man and a woman started fighting and had to be escorted off. Andy and I figured that wouldn’t have happened if the weather hadn’t been so miserable.

This following cartoon was published before our bombs dropped, and I figured it wasn’t supposed to be a political statement of what to do or not to do. It was sadness at the devastation of war.

Then there is this piece of advice:

Now that the bombing has begun, there’s no telling where this will end.

Be strong. Be safe. Hug your loved ones.
—Robert Reich

Hugs to you all.

  1. So scary!
    Gone rouge without congress and alienated all our allies.

  2. Catherine says:

    Dreadful scenario unfolding…

    Much love to you all…

    …and our grandson just arrive in the Middle East!

  4. Kaitlin says:

    Hugs to all!

  5. I’m truly overwhelmed. To bad humans don’t seem able to take the advice in the cartoon.

  6. Ginny Hartzler says:

    This cartoon is exactly on point. This is not our war, and even if it was, what happened to congressional approval!

  7. DB Stewart says:

    War, ad nauseum. This seems like a fitting epitaph for all these men who “rule” the world.

  8. That is a totally perfect cartoon!

  9. Myra Guca says:

    I believe heat brings out the worst in us … both climate and some folks’ emotions.

  10. Ann Thompson says:

    That comic strip could not be more spot on

  11. MadSnapper says:

    I the deep south, the first responders no when the temps get high so do tempers, they get a lot more calls on really hot nights. I know myself, I get easily aggravated if I am to hot

  12. I sure do get aggravated when hot!

  13. The OP Pack says:

    And it seems like the situation changes every time you think there has been a resolution. Hugs from us too.
