The e-mail bearing today's TMW 'toon was unusuallly delayed (see the 'toonist's explanation below) but is still graphic force for the Right Way in this troubled time. And so Tom Tomorrow/Dan Perkins reflected on the most incredible week just past:
Hey, All,
Literally just finished this one a few minutes ago. The resignation of James Bennet as editor of the NYT op-ed page forced a last-minute rewrite — one reason why I don’t tend to send these things out too early.
If you’re out protesting, stay safe. I’m simultaneously very glad to see these protests, and somewhat concerned about what impact they’re going to have on the pandemic numbers, but I guess we’ll have some data on that soon enough.
Until next week,
Dan/Tom
If this is a (fair & balanced) visual record of the most chaotic week in memory, so be it.
