And that, we should have a 'fold-in' for the BP. Wonder what it'd show? My luck you fold in and see the mayoral backside.

Mort Drucker was a brilliant caricature artist. His parodies were gold. Bill Elder too, was always amazing.

Books, pages? And how does that figure here? Help! ๐ They are a famous aspect of the Mad magazine that the guy did for 50+ years. At the end a cartoon style illustration is shown with a question posed. You literally told inwards both sides and the cartoon appearance cha he's to reveal a "hidden" image. Some examples are shown here: www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbr.com/al-jaffee-mad-fold-ins-100-birthday/amp/

I didn't like to do a hard fold on the back cover...to me that wrecked it. I just kind of bent it a little. miles, I liked to try to visualize what the folded image would wind up being, also. One of my favorite college professors had collected every Mad Magazine since it started publication. That may be part of why he got to teach the English Majors Senior Special Projects Satire Class. That was an amazing class. I loved Mad Magazine. That was a stocking stuffer for my son on Christmas. I had a book called Madvertising that still reverberates for me, today. This looks like it might keep you laughing for an hour or so...

I find this hilarious. I dropped my bear spray, can I come back and get it.
David Moye Think rioting at the U.S. Capitol is a bad idea? Try calling Nancy Pelosiโs office the next day asking to get your stuff back.
According to Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), many people who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection called the House Speakerโs office the next day asking about a โlost and found.โ
Raskin told Business Insider that people were โasking whether there was a lost and found because they forgot their phone there, or they left their purse or what have you.โ
The staffers answering the calls handed them off to the police, the lawmaker said, who then asked for their names, addresses and other details so they could, in Raskinโs words, โtie up those loose ends.โ
More than 700 people have been charged in connection to the assault on the Capitol so far.
It might seem shocking that people who stormed the Capitol one day would have no qualms about calling the next day in search of their lost items, but Raskin said that points to former President Donald Trumpโs complicity in the events of Jan. 6.
โWhen they were told that they were trespassing and invading the Capitol, they said the president invited them to be there,โ Raskin said. โThey didnโt have any kind of subtle understanding of the separation of powers. They just thought that the number one person in the U.S. government had invited them to be there, and therefore they had a right.โ
โIt underscores the central role that Donald Trump played in it,โ Raskin added.

I don't think you can just blame Trump for people's stupidity. We are all to blame for that. Maybe we are stupid too. Stupid is as stupid does.

Of course we are stupid. "Everybody's stupid. That's for sure."

When you point a finger, remember you have three fingers pointing back at you. When we assume we are not stupid but they are is when we become as stupid as you think they are.
