Battling the Coronavirus on the Home Front
This article contains a political cartoon drawing stating that "We Can Do it!" The political cartoon reminded me of past political images I have seen in the past. It communicates that we can all unite to wash our hands and get rid of COVID-19. Julian Lapidus, CSUS, HIST15H -

Lockdown Laughs
This comic illustration that I saw got me thinking about how we do not appreciate nature and having clean air. We are so consumed by our desires to do what we want that we do not notice the impact that our activities may have on the earth. This comic made me reflect on the part I have had in increasing pollution. After this pandemic ends, I hope that we appreciate the clean air and work on decreasing the amount of pollution we create. #CSUS #HIST15H -

Coronavirus Political Cartoon -- Tomb of the Unknown Delivery Guy
This political cartoon plays on an iconic symbol of US national chauvinism: the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This tomb, located in Arlington National Cemetery, commemorates the lives of soldiers that were given for our country whose remains cannot be identified. The cartoon draws this tomb and, in place of the original inscription, reads, "Tomb of the Unknown Delivery Guy." In these unprecedented times, Americans have turned to relying on delivery men and women to bring food to their door in order to limit social contact, and thus prevent the spread of the virus. As such, these delivery people's jobs are deemed "essential," whereas they still hold low status within our economic and capitalist system. They are being compared to the unknown soldiers because of a key word: unknown. They are risking infection to supply Americans with food, yet they are still under-valued by those eating the food they supply. While the country's situation should allude to the importance of low status jobs, including but not limited to the delivery people, it is highly likely that after the pandemic has ceased, these workers will continue to be unknown. By employing a well-known "American" symbol, this comparison and social commentary is made abundantly clear to the American people without needing textual explanation. -
