27.01 A grim milestone
“The UK had surpassed the 100,000 deaths mark, which really was a
grim moment in the pandemic. A few people made remarks suggesting
this cartoon was unfair, but I don’t think it is. That said, Johnson is
obviously not responsible for 100,000 deaths, but I’m damn sure he and
his government, with their slowness, are responsible for very many.”


07.01 Georgia on my mind


“This was drawn on the eve of the Capitol


Hill riots as Donald Trump was waiting


to find out the Republicans’ fate in two


elections in the state of Georgia. The


election was being rerun because of the


state’s rule that a candidate must take


50 per cent of the vote in order to win,


which none had managed in November’s


election. In the end, Joe Biden’s presidency


received an enormous boost with the


voters of Georgia handing control of


the Senate to the Democrats.”
