Binge-watching Netflix, Trump touching his face, other precious Covid-19 moments

Cartoonist Dave Whamond of Cagle.com says most of us "have been training for this our entire lives," referring to coronavirus pandemic measures, including binge-watching Netflix.
"When D.J. Trump talks, people listen" (and the stock market takes a dive) is yet another timely cartoon from Whamond, whose work has appeared in magazines and newspapers.


On Feb. 28, the president labeled 
the new coronavirus 'a hoax,'
but just 2 weeks later -- on a Friday the 13th -- declared
 a 'national emergency'


Cartoonist Daryl Cagle of DarylCagle.com has President Trump violating the first rule of personal hygiene during the coronavirus pandemic, touching his face, in a variation on the "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil" cartoon.
From Adam Zyglis, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist for The Buffalo News, on the need for social distancing during the pandemic.
The panic buying and rationing of toilet paper by Americans who were "scared shitless" of the coronavirus, in the words of political satirist Bill Maher, was illustrated by cartoonist Steve Sack of the Star Tribune in Minnesota.
Cartoons by Jimmy Margulies, above and below, illustrate the sad state of our health-care system, and the danger posed to workers' pensions during the coronavirus pandemic.



Margulies cartoons also can be seen on his Facebook page.
Cartoonist Joe Heller of Cagle.com illustrates the dilemma of Americans who were urged to stay at home just as gasoline prices fell. Heller is the editorial cartoonist for the Green Bay Press Gazette in Wisconsin.

Cartoons speak for themselves on Trump's racist campaign to demonize immigrants

Many observers equate President Trump's racial views with Hitler or the Ku Klux Klan. Here, Cartoonist Adam Zyglis of The Buffalo (N.Y.) News agrees Trump doesn't have "a" racist bone in his body; he has dozens of racist bones, one shaped like the hood of the ghostly Klan outfit.
Cartoonist Nate Beeler of The Columbus Dispatch in Ohio shows sewage flowing out of Trump's mouth. The manhole cover is labeled "Racism."
Cartoonist Dave Granlund of PoliticalCartoons.com has Trump complaining about his treatment after he makes racist remarks. "Hey, there are others who agree with me," the president says, throwing his arms around Hitler and a Klansman.
Jimmy Margolies, former editorial cartoonist for The Record of Woodland Park, shows Trump in a Klan outfit saying, "I could lynch somebody on Fifth Avenue and not lose any voters..."
A second cartoon from Adam Zyglis labels as "vintage racism" Trump's words to four women of color in the House of Representatives: "Go back to where you came from!!"
In another cartoon from Dave Granlund, the ICE roundup announced by Trump ensnares Melania Knauss, his wife, for green card violations and illegal employment.
