Is There Anything Funny About the Coronavirus Pandemic?

Human/Animal Bond, humor 1 Minute

How about this?

I understand this cartoon appeared on FaceBook. If anyone knows the originator, I would love to give him/her credit.

I dedicate this post to my late friend Peter, who said–under the worst possible circumstances for him–

“Remember to laugh!”

UPDATE: I’m pretty sure we’ve located the creator. Thanks to a tip from my ace researcher friend Fran Kaufman, who also sent me the cartoon, I journeyed from a Twitter thread to FaceBook, eventually finding a message from a woman named Susan Madsen stating the following:

“MY SISTER ALICE MADSEN drew this. It’s HER Original work!”

So thank you, Fran, and Brava, Alice Madsen! Your work brought a whimsical touch of humor to many people who sorely needed it.

I've been a nonfiction writer for many years, exploring diverse topics that pique my curiosity, as noted in my first blog posting (Greetings!). I'm seeking dialogue with others committed to joining me in this exploration, sharing my conviction that different views can be exchanged in a respectful, civil discourse where we can learn from one another and be agreeable, even when we disagree.

    1. I just got another cartoon from my daughter, who’s a professional dog trainer. One dog, wrapped in a protective garment, tells another: “The news is so bad these days that I have to read it in my thundershirt.” But I wasn’t sure how many people know about thundershirts, which are designed to calm animals reactive to storms and other loud noises.

      3. Good idea – never thought of that. Yup, TP was sold out, as was dishwasher soap, pulp-free OJ and potatoes. Crazy times!

  5. I think I need one of those, as I am a terribly active face-toucher.

    I agree that we need to see the humor where we can. For example, I am sitting in a Comcast/Xfinity store. I am quitting their service today and would you believe that I need to wait in line to do so.

    Is it terrible that I’m thinking about starting to cough loudly?

    1. No; it’s not terrible that you’re thinking about starting to cough loudly—as long as you are trained in CPR and are willing to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the little old lady near you who has a coronary as a result…
