Cartooning for Peace / Editos / A Christmas like no other…

A Christmas like no other…

Editorial published on December 22, 2020

All over the world, this holiday season is as much expected as it is feared. After a particularly trying year, the arrival of vaccines represents hope for the fight against covid-19. But while waiting for herd immunity, efforts and sacrifices will still have to be made for some time to come: the epidemic curve is not slowing down sufficiently and is forcing governments to take additional measures to avoid a third wave. On the menu: limitation of guests at the table, travel bans, partial or strict reconfinement, curfews…
So many surrealistic situations that inspire our cartoonists from all over the world. Throughout this difficult year 2020, their drawings have accompanied us in our confined solitudes, made us laugh when we were in a bad mood, think when we didn’t understand anything anymore, react when necessary… For this vital daily help, once again, a big THANK YOU, cartoonists from all over the world! Happy holidays and… stay safe!
