no laughing matter

no laughing matter
Created for Kollage Kit theme: "Myths and Legends (and Hoaxes & Fakes).”

Artist Jon Foster, of IUOMA (International Union of Mail Artists), mails "Add and Return" cards to anyone who sends him their mailing address. The template for what you see here is one of those cards, modified by yours truly with cut-paper collage, rubber stamps, and markers.

Why "No Laughing Matter?" Because even though American TV comedians (including news commentators) are having a heyday of humor since the Combover Clown was elected President, I'm afraid I'm not laughing. Donald J. Trump may not be the Great Cthulhu, from whom several myths derive—frankly, I doubt he's intelligent enough to be one of Lovecraft's Elder Gods—but it seems to me he's at the center of a tentacular network of greed and corruption. Even, eventually, of bloodshed.

I sometimes use frames to set off material that I don't wish to consciously acknowledge: hence, a brown frame with images of fertility/creativity goddesses wearing the pink knitted "kitty hats" that women wore during the March on Washington and at other protests.

I agree on the Cthulhu count. Pity he was not running as a candidate. Or the ineffable Shub-Niggurath. ☺
But I still doubt, completely and fervently, that the Hellary Thing would have been any better. On the contrary. Her tentacular network runs deeper and farther and into even more poisoned chalices. I've been keeping track of her career for a long time and believe you me, the woman is toxic to a miraculous degree. Of course she's better spoken than the plastic Duck. But not quite as hillarious.
Funny old thing...everybody's having kittens about the Trumper but hardly anybody said "boo" when GeorgyPorgyBushyTailed stole the election, or when Saint Barak Obama, the World's Hope, invaded (and destroyed) Libya, or destabilized Syria or manipulated Ukraine into chaos and mayhem. And so on.
The sad truth is that no American presidente, or British PM for that matter, ever was or can ever be anything but pure, undiluted rot. If they were half decent people they would not be given the jobs by them wot really run the show (and no, I don't mean the Illuminati...☺)
Relax, toots. Deep breath and frequent giggles. And ignore the mediated fuss. Che sera, sera.
Extra hug all the same because you sound as if you could do with it. XXX
Oh, and the new stuff is simply spiffing!

When you say "hardly anybody said 'boo!' about GeorgyPorgy," I assume you'd guess that I went nuts. I went nuts earlier, at the outset of the first Iraqi war—slickly promoted by Bush Senior with the name of "Desert Shield"—when I heard that the bombs were falling while the tanks waited for their chance with teeth bared, I happened to be in a restaurant. I had to run for the toliet to barf out my soul-twisting dismay.

I'm from Texas, so I hate it keenly when Texans misbehave in such destructive ways!

Anyhoo.... I appreciate your remarks a great deal, Dolores! You are right, right, and right again. I will live to barf another day. =dark laugh=

Of course I excluded your sweet barfing self from the list of "hardly anybody", oh bright rose of Texas! And I'm in there with you. I was livid, aggrieved and gobsmacked at the diabolical effrontery. I still am and my heart still cracks every time I get the latest news (not on the BBC or CNN, or ITV/Fox, I must emphasize) from Iraq. To which I now must add the news from Libya, Syria, Yemen, etc. No peace for the wickedly dissident, worse luck...:-)
Indeed, let us live to barf another day! Up the sick bag!

A correspondent of mine opines, "The Elder Gods would feed that orange thing to the shoggoths, though the amount of bile in his puffy old carcass would probably make them rather ill..." We humans are not the only ones whose guts rebel at such times!

My Shoggoths certainly would not touch him with a ten-foot barge pole. Even monsters have standards, what!
(Besides my Shoggoths are spoiled something chronic. My fault, really...☺)
