a trip to 2011

a trip to 2011 When I was a kid the future was a wonderful place. Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, streamlined personal rocket ships, gleaming cities. So now I'm living in the actual future!! I love to do Time Traveler cartoons. I think of myself as the guy who got sent into the future and has come back to 1958 with his report. (and it's always a shock to the scientists who are running the operation back in the fifties). -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973

White Powder (2001) - fresh cartoons ..lol

White Powder (2001) November 19, 2001 This Golden Oldie is from 2001. Ten years ago America was caught in a massive anthrax scare. Everyone seemed to be on the lookout for anthrax-laden mail. According to the BBC of Wednesday, November 7 , 2001: "In media offices, abortion clinics, and government offices around the United States, mail handlers are donning white gloves for fear of the dreaded white powder - anthrax. But still the FBI has no conclusive evidence as to whether the recent attacks have been state-sponsored, or the work of America's own radicals. It is a complex investigation made worse by the fact that more than 2,500 anthrax scares in the United States have turned out to be false alarms." * * * This year Hanukkah begins at sunset on Tuesday, December 20, 2011, and ends at sunset on Wednesday, December 28, 2011. -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973

Holiday Spirits 2011 - holiday cartoons

Holiday Spirits 2011 When I was a kid in Brooklyn, Christmas started with Santa coming to town in the Macy's parade on Thanksgivings Day. Now it apparently begins with something called Black Friday. I don't know anything about that, I've lived in Israel for forty years. The Christmas season seems, from a distance, at least, to have turned into the shopping season. And this year, with the economic crisis, Dickens' three ghosts ("The Spirit of Christmas Past", "The Spirit of Christmas Present", and "The Spirit of Christmas Future") have morphed into the three shopping spirits; "Buy", "Save", and "Charge it". In any case, my best wishes go to our readers who are, or who will soon be, out there Christmas-shopping. -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973

The Way We Were (1976) - cartoons for kids

The Way We Were (1976) November 28, 1976 Today's Golden Oldie is from the winter of 1976. Thirty Five years ago!! I lived in Jerusalem back then and there is nothing that seemed as bone-chillingly cold as those winters in Jerusalem. Part of the problem was that Jerusalem's stone buildings were built to be cool in the summer heat, but when a snowy Jerusalem winter blew in, they were even cooler. Another part of the problem was that we all kept warm with small heaters that burned what we, in our local English dialect called "neft". It wasn't until years later that I learned that "neft"was actually kerosene! They way we got our "neft"was to shlep a "jerry can" to a gas station or to wait for the neft delivery truck which had a tank from which patrons would fill their jerry cans, jugs, and bottles. In the cartoon a frigid Mr. Shuldig is trudging home buttoned up against the cold, and musing on the inflation that was ravaging the country at the time. -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973

2012

2012 You've probably heard the ridiculous idea that because the Mayan calendar supposedly ends in 2012, some people believe that the world will end in 2012. -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973
