Sunday Funnies 170319 March Madness

The Sunday Funnies theme of the week is March Madness.

March Madness has arrived, and I'm as mad as a March hare. In fact, I'm fairly dribbling with madness.

Welcome to the asylum…er…the arena.

It looks as if the boys have come up with a way to link March Madness to draining the swamp.

Adam Smith's Invisible Hand, Trickle-down Economic Theory, and $1.50 will get you a cup of coffee in a sleazy restaurant. Meanwhile, proponents of those economic myths say you should thank them for letting you keep the $1.50 as they laugh all the way to the bank with their yuge tax breaks.

I much prefer Pope-ulism.

5. Hoopla

How do you like those apples?

In the back room where the GOP is writing it's replacement for Obamacare, The Devil is in the details.

8. Showboating

I'm the most popular head beagle ever. My inauguration crowd was yuge, the biggest ever. The cat next door wiretapped my doghouse.

9. Goaltending

What double bogey? It was a hole in one. Every shot I take is a hole in one. I'm the greatest golfer ever. Rory McIlroy came to me for advice on how to improve his game. Even Bobby Jones got pointers from me when he was a little kid. Believe me.
