Ted Rall for May 22, 2020

“The Naked Sun” by Isaac Asimov (1957)

So many new viruses — mutating to survive — and so few vaccines that work effectively. Working together internationally might save us all but that does not harmonize with current politics.

Ah, the fresh flowers of Rethugican youth ventures forth…

Uh… think I’ve seen this toon B4…. anyone?

Is this one of those Ted Talks I’ve heard about? I don’t feel like a genius yet.

Well, Ted may be on to something here. After all, he is working to help Trump get re-elected.

I’d rather be a social butterfly than a social disease.

I love dystopian future novels, but I can’t work with this, even as outrageous hyperbolic satire. Too much suspension of disbelief required. Even in a worse case scenario with no vaccine or effective treatment developed, it won’t take that long for herd immunity to develop. Though I love the way the hair is depicted after 18 years of quarantine. Hilarious.

Gotta love the face mask tan line on the “girl?” on the far left. Good job, there.

I laughed, and I’m not even ashamed.

Frightening indeed!

Looks like a scene from Bird Box.
