Accepting the Steve Brodner Challenge

There's a chance that you may see a lot of cartoonists posting cartoons just like this one this weekend.

This time, it's not yahtzee, what we call it when a bunch of cartoonists just happen to draw the same idea. This time, it's on purpose.
Trump did go golfing this Memorial Day weekend, after ordering flags to be flown at half staff in honor of the victims of the novel coronavirus.

And on Sunday, the New York Times devoted the entire front page plus two inside pages, to very brief excerpts from obituaries for about 1% of the nearly 100,000 U.S. victims of COVID-19.

100,000.

That's almost two Vietnam Wars in three months.

Thirty-three 9-11's.

25,000 Benghazis.
