Like everyone else, cartoonists around the world have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. They have turned their pens to all things coronavirus the politicization of public health, faltering economies due to lockdowns and layoffs, the emergence of vaccines and all the hope they bring, among other things.
For the one-year anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring the global pandemic, the Society of News Design has sought editorial cartoons from around the globe. The organization received more than 400 submitted cartoons from 112 cartoonists representing 43 countries and 68 publications.
The Day was among them, submitting two SunDay Cartoons produced by our own editorial page editor, Paul Choiniere, and cartoonist, Jacinta Meyers. Both pieces were selected for inclusion in the global showcase, which will be available soon at the organization s website, www.snd.org.
