Cartoons: Putin and the ice bucket, ISIS

At this point, I think it's safe to ask who has not heard of the Ice Bucket Challenge. This cartoon struck my funny bone hard. The New Yorker published an interesting read titled "A Quest to Understand What Makes Things Funny." (Note that it was published on April 1st.) In my view this cartoon is funny because it's a stress reliever (and somewhat slapstick).

Talk about a situation that needs stress relief, how about ISIS?  They're demanding ransoms, then beheading their captives.

This cartoon relates ISIS and crime in the US--a double whammy.
