This is my fantasy home - I kid, of course.

This is my fantasy home - I kid, of course.

Welcome to Wednesday. Let me correct myself: welcome to Splendid Marbles Wednesday. If you haven’t been to Splendid Marbles on a Wednesday before, I hope you enjoy touring the site ( stop in at the caption contest ) and that you get a kick out of my latest cartoon. I post smashing new cartoons EVERY Wednesday at noon. Please feel free to write your own captions, thoughts, wishes, etc. in the comment section.

This cartoon affords me the dual pleasure of poking fun at the real estate obsession that roared through this land (we still have an unhealthy attachment to our homes even though prices have plummeted), and the unbridled fixation with the right to self-defense at the expense of what can most generously be described as a casual acquaintance with sanity. (Please don’t read me as anti-gun; I’m actually very much pro-artillery.)

THIS IS NOT THE CAPTION CONTEST, BUT FEEL FREE TO POST A FEW CAPTIONS, OR JUST SHARE A THOUGHT OR TWO.
