I had some of the same thoughts--until I saw his name in the corner.

(35,648 posts)There were several that were brilliant. Two that come to mind are the guy in the MAGA hat, standing in Corona-infested waters. Notice the pugnacious, defiant face. What a weird reaction to a life-threatening situation.
The other one I thought brilliant was the colorful "Covid 19" airplanes dividing up the work: "You consume their bodies....I'll consume their minds."
Thanks, JHB. Always food for thought with the 'toons.

(1,384 posts)What a strange position by one of the strangest self-adapted looking people I've ever seen, orange face with bleach blonde strings pulled over a bald head and an oversized clown tie dangling near his knees. He goes out like this! Momma used to say "shhhhhh...they can't help it. We all do the best with what we got." NOT HIM. He's taken a natural slightly below average appearance and turned it into circus freak scary-fabulous.
Obviously...a mask could only help.
