Is it time for my weekly Graphical History Tour again already? Oh, shoot! Looking back at my February cartoons from decades ago, I find that I don’t have much to say today about many of them.
But since I did set this one up last month, here’s one starring then-House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX) from 1995, after he had made a slip of the tongue calling Congressman Barney Frank an antigay slur during a radio interview:

How an inadvertent slip of the pen made it into my homage to George Cruikshank I have no idea. I’m sure it was purely unintentional.

For decades now, Republicans have labored tirelessly to deprive the poor of sustenance and children of free school lunches. To atone for such unChristian attitudes, they demand that public schools post the Ten Commandments in every classroom so that children know which Lord Thy God the government has decreed for them.
They like the Ten Commandments rather than those woke Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. Especially not the version from the Gospel According to Luke read in “Lutheran” (and Episcopal and Catholic) churches last Sunday, which include some verses not in Matthew’s account:
24 “But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.”
Hey, I don’t mean to cut this post short, but, well, it is a holiday weekend, after all.
