Happy Wednesday.
April Fool’s Day or as it is known in some places, All Fool’s Day, has a long history of silliness, absurdity, and yes, foolishness.
Its start is lost to time, but it’s been around since at least 1561 when Flemish poet Eduard de Dene recorded sending his servant on a number of “foolish errands” on April 1.
Down through the centuries, people have enjoyed accomplishing all sorts of pranks, from the simple to the elaborate and everything in between.
The above is a photo of a ticket to the “washing of the lions” at the Tower of London in 1857! There hadn’t been any lions at the Tower since 1835, but this “annual ceremony” apparently appealed to a large number of people who showed up to get their legs pulled.
I don’t have much of an imagination for pranking but over the years I’ve certainly enjoyed being a spectator – and sometimes I’ve been the prankee, also a lot of fun.
I hope you have an excellent day to enjoy all the silly foolishness! 😊
Michael de Adder is a Canadian freelance editorial cartoonist who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
His cartoons, while humorous, sarcastic and satirical, also encapsulate in a single drawing the central kernel of any political or social situation.
Over the years he has taken on very controversial topics and everything else in between from local politics to international issues. By turns, he exposes the foolishness, cruelty and stupidity of the central players in the often opportunistically generated predations that they impose on others.
At one point, he was terminated by a media outlet for his anti-Trump cartoons; this particular outlet had connections to U.S. interests that apparently tried to stop the spread of his criticisms.

Walking through the crunchy leaves has been an enjoyable autumn experience accompanied by strong childhood memories of playing in the leaf piles.
I’ve always liked this Bugs Bunny cartoon; another enjoyable childhood memory associated with autumn and Halloween. After all these years, it still makes me laugh.
I hope you have a little chocolate and enjoy the day, perhaps with some crunchy leaves to walk through. And don’t forget, Abracadabra and Hocus Pocus are the magic words. 🎃

Well, not really. But if fish had bigger brains, here’s what they would probably say.
Happy Thursday. 😉
Who says that it’s only birds of a feather that flock together? You can definitely flock with scales, too …
We have some trouble communicating but we still understand each other …
… because when the humans are dispensing food, it’s always a great idea to bring your best friends along to share the wealth. More friends, more food, especially if you look cute and needy, something that’s a bit difficult for a fish …
… but we know that sharing with our underwater, scaled friends is a good thing. They would do the same for us!
Happy Sunday.
