The kites from Gaza to southern Israel

 It has been longer than 2 weeks, but this Dry Bones cartoon was from 2018 and still true.

In theory, we have a ceasefire with Gaza. But they have not relinquished any of their weapons, as they were supposed to. The kites that are recently drifting into Israel from Gaza seem harmless. These new kites are not armed with incendiary devices (yet) But Israelis remember what happened when terrorists used them in 2018 and after, burning thousands of acres, killing wildlife, and causing millions of dollars in damage. Many think that this is just a trial attempt to start that again, but to start in a very innocent seeming way. So I am posting this cartoon from 2018. Love, Sali

A Simple Truth

 A Simple Truth. Dry Bones Cartoon from 2015, posted by Sali

Here in Israel, we are getting ready for the new school year to start. The malls are filled with booths for school supplies, the local political campaigns are swinging into high gear with lots of promises the will probably not be kept, and we still have no idea what our situation with Hamas, Hizballah, Turkey, Iran and all of the Gulf states will look like in the near future. But in the meantime, I hope you continue to enjoy these cartoons.

Shabbat Shalom and the Once Great Europe

 Shabbat Shalom!

I have a friend who just came back from a vacation in Europe with horror stories about the situation there. From what I see in the media, it seems that America is not far behind. I am so happy to be living in Israel, even with all of our problems. Wishing you a great Shabbat and a great weekend and health and joy for you and your loved ones from Sali.

Here is a Dry Bones cartoon from 2014.

Time for Jewish Curses

 

  The world situation is so frustrating. I thought we might all enjoy a chance to curse and have a laugh. This Dry Bones book, is one of his lesser known ones. We call it a "coloring book", but no need to color. You can just enjoy it in black and white. It also makes a great gift for the holidays that are coming soon.

I am putting up this explanation as Yaakov wrote it back in 2017.


From Yaakov Kirschen:
After more than fifty years of being a cartoonist I've become a grumpy old man. Mr. Shuldig, the chubby, bald-headed hero of my Dry Bones cartoons is also a grumpy old man. And after decades of writing and drawing my daily Dry Bones cartoon, I’ve decided to tackle two new goals. One is to pass on the flavor of our Jewish immigrant past to new generations of young Jews in English-speaking countries. The second is to charm and re-ignite the memories of other grumpy old guys and gals. The first book in my new “Grandpa’s Jewish Cartoon Coloring Books” series is a cartoon coloring book called “A Dry Bones Guide to Jewish Curses.” Nothing has been re-written or "adjusted" to appeal to modern taste. The cartoons are accurate translations of real Yiddish curses, the kind that drip with nasty, funny, Jewish, immigrant cynicism.
We, the LSW (Long Suffering Wife) and I, hope that you will enjoy reading these pages and have the fun of coloring the cartoons.
You can find the book (along with a few others) at Amazon
The address is http://amazon.com/author/kirschen
 If you live in the UK or Israel shipping is much cheaper, so if you live in the UK or in Israel use THIS link:https://www.amazon.co.uk/-/e/B01MU9MHV2

Below are a few sample pages from the Jewish Curses book.








and here is one that Yaakov colored for you


Thanks to everyone of you. I hope that you will enjoy. I am so blessed to have you in my life. In case you want to help me out with funds, no matter how small, it is all gratefully appreciated. here are the links.
