Somewhere, Ted Kord is flipping a table and cursing colorfully.

From: pyrotwilight
Ted: Fer CRIPES SAKES PEOPLE.
Lian: What happened now Uncle Ted?
Ted: *sigh* Nothing. Just more drama. Let's get back to playing darts with Ryan.

I'm sorry, but the mental image of Lian Harper playing darts with Ryan Choi and Ted Kord in the DC Comics afterlife was too good for me to pass up.
This little scene is set sometime before or after Ted's above outburst; Lian has just made yet another bull's-eye (she's an Arrow kid, what do you expect?), frustrating Ryan, whose "Bwuuuh?" face is making Ted snicker. Note Ted's 52 shirt. The star on Lian's shirt, of course, refers to her hometown of Star City.
UPDATE: Now chronologically my second superhero cartoon posted on The Happy Sorceress, reblogged by highball2814 and bringbacklianharper. (And they still can't get my name right...)

This one looked a lot better in my head... it's supposed to show how Bashar Assad's "crowd control" techniques will in all likelihood come around to bite him in his own butt.

Last week's jpost.com cartoon

After the Pesach ban on writing and drawing, I'm back!

let my person go pesach passover netanyahu as moses haniyah as pharaoh schalit imprisoned
I'm probably beating a dead horse with this topic, but the juxtaposition of Gilad Schalit's plight with the (then upcoming) Festival of Freedom was too good to pass up. Next year I'll probably go with Jonathan Pollard, unless (b'ezrat Hashem) Mr. High-And-Whitey deigns to release him before then.
Oh yeah, and I also got the blog's 8,000th visitor during the chag. No biggie.

Bat eating a fruit

There's these fruit trees some people have in the garden around the corner from that recently have been getting visits from bats around 9 PM. They're most likely Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus), the most common fruit bat found in Israel. (Incidentally, did you know that bats compose Israel's largest group of native mammals? I didn't.)

Note: not an actual drawing of an Egyptian fruit bat.
I do so enjoy watching bats. I don't get to see them so much, and there's something about them that's... "cute" isn't the right word. Neither is "awesome". "Fascinating", perhaps. I mean, the concept is one of Nature's best proofs that G-d has a sense of humor: a mammal possessing the ability to fly. (And don't even get me started on the platypus.)

Today's J. Post cartoon

Yeah, Richard Goldstone. Remember him? The Jewish South African judge who headed the UN commission of inquiry on Operation Cast Lead that basically damned the IDF from here to eternity? He's just recanted the report's allegations about Israel deliberately targeting civilians. Two years later. Yeah, thanks a lot, Richie.
