Wednesday’s Cartoon Chuckle

Heh.

Actual music postings resume tomorrow.

Assuming the forthcoming Trumpian economic catastrophe -- i.e., The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre© -- fails to materialize.

Cross my heart. 😎

Stole the Trump joke, and alas can't remember from who. 😎

The Tesla reference might have been from U.S. political commentator George Conway, who used it recently.

grok tells me: The phrase "Tesla Chainsaw Massacre" appears to have been first coined by George Conway, a well-known political commentator and lawyer, in early 2025. Conway used the term in the context of critiquing Elon Musk and Tesla's declining fortunes, drawing a parallel to the horror movie "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre." This is supported by a blog post on Stacy Alexander's Substack dated March 11, 2025, where she credits Conway for the phrase and uses it as the title of her piece discussing Tesla's challenges and Musk's controversial actions. The timing aligns with the current date of March 12, 2025, suggesting Conway's usage emerged in the weeks or months prior as Tesla faced increasing scrutiny and a boycott grew.
