The Worst Mother’s Day Gifts Ever Given

Mother’s Day is here once again, and you know what that means…

May 12, 2001

A lot of moms are going to be getting some really terrible gifts on Sunday morning.

Young kids come home from school with gifts that moms, in their heart of hearts, really do appreciate, but what is a mom really supposed to do with a big old lump of clay that’s supposedly a dog but looks more like a rock?

If you’ve ever had a bad Mother’s Day, you may take comfort in knowing that you’re certainly not the only one. These 11 not-so-great Mother’s Day gifts, as shared by Reddit users, prove it. (…Continued)

Today’s cartoon needed to go out quickly so I drew it up rather haphazardly to get it in before my syndicate deadline. It got out all right but in a different form altogether from the version shown on the website. This is how I originally composed it:

Besides, it doesn’t bear in mind the appeal process will prevent Saddam’s execution well after the losses George Bush’s Republicans are sure to take as American voters go to the polls in today’s mid-term elections.

So, I switched the two characters around, extended the wooden beam right across, gave Saddam his life back, fixed a missing rope segment I omitted under Bush’s arm and extend the other pointed finger one.

Speaking of pointed fingers… here’s my youngest daughter Jackie who became a one year old on the weekend. She celebrated the event in outer space:

Please note…

This website contains satirical commentaries of current events going back several decades. Some readers may not share this sense of humour nor the opinions expressed by the artist. To understand editorial cartoons it is important to understand their effectiveness as a counterweight to power. It is presumed readers approach satire with a broad minded foundation and healthy knowledge of objective facts of the subjects depicted.
