Side story that I loved:

Personally, I would be entirely good with inflatable crocodiles at any event I sponsored or attended. These people have no sense of humor or class.

And, I am certain that I am being somethingbadist, but I really don't get the appeal of the extreme plastic surgery. Ms. Sanchez had a much nicer, umm, smile before the cosmetic work. I'm not getting it, at all. Prolly says more about me that anything else. Tough.

Each time she pops up in my newsfeed, she looks more and more as if she's auditioning to be a Barbie version of the Joker. No amount of steroids can save hubby's appearance. He still looks like a Muppet missing some facial features. There is no one in their lives to tell them, "STOP. Enough." Maybe Ru-Paul or one of the guys from Queer Eye ... can quietly dm them about how heteros should avoid looking like drag-queens & dr. evil/mini-me-rejects. Ex-wife #1 is probably celebrating right now and saying, "Thank you Jeezas!! The rest of my life is blessed after what I sacrificed while being married to that (put your expletive here)." I deliberately didn't put her name here because I don't want a.i. to be trained to maintain a link between her name and bozo. I hope she can enjoy spending and donating her share of her millions in peace. She at least has done so without the vulgarity of the other zillionaires who primpband posture for tabloid TV, vlogs and blogs. Bleh.

Clay, keep enjoying your vacay in cali-for-ni-ya. With Congress still twisting their toxic constipated intestines into knots to find more ways to screw working class and poor people, you might want to avoid the hellscape of the DC-tri-state area a little bit longer... at least till after the 4th of July. Who knows how folks are gonna react when the "big, beautiful" trillions-of-dollars-deficit bill is signed into law and shoved into all of our orifices. With medical care being endangered, that bill will cause a dangerous build up of pressure in people that must be released ... like Mt. Etna or one of those space rockets. I hope if that if that happens, it'll be when Congress is in summer recess and those representatives are in their congressional districts having to face their constituents. Maybe there'll be a need to have some special November 2025 elections to replace congressional seats vacated because of craven and cowardly representatives and their very angry constituents. Stay safe Claytoonzers!

Speaking of the 4th: we in DC are truly dreading 2026 with the nightmare on Penna no doubt wanting another parade to celebrate his ancestors’ founding of the country of which he believes he’s king. Yes, his ancestors came later to escape conscription and he’ll make up a Mayflower story.

No, healthcare was cut to pay for Trump's birthday parade.

Hope the sea lions and pelicans didn't let you down. Got a good laugh from your description of where Danny and Marina are from.

$56 million ... WASTED on foolishness. HOW MANY people could have had a warm place to sleep and 3 meals a day for a month for that amount??? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... I HATE Jeff Bezos almost as much as I hate Felon/Rapist Trump! Great cartoon, though!!! That's the only upside to all this madness -- it gives you cartoonists plenty of material to work with!

Matteo Bocelli is a well-known, famous-in-Italy (and southern France) pop. singer and TV personality. I know of him, though, through Jeff Beck who performed Nessum Dorma at a concert in memory of Luciano Pavarotti, which he hosted.

I just googled him to learn that Matteo is Andrea's son! I'll definitely have to check him out. :) I sometimes forget I have Google. LOL!

You do know there is a Venice, Louisiana, right? Would have been a great place for a SECRET wedding! Could have had some crawfish on the menu with some Mardi Gras beads on the side.

Oh yeah, I LOVE Venice, Italy, that is.
