Dave Whamond's cartoon shows a family in masks outside a window, saying 'Happy Mother's Day' to an elderly woman inside who touches the glass. The image underscores families separated from loved ones due to social distancing and restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many elderly feel lonely amid the coronavirus lockdown and shelter in place orders. The bouquet of flowers symbolizes attempts to connect despite stay at home rules and social isolation. This piece reflects the emotional challenges of the 2020 pandemic, with COVID-19 guidance limiting interactions between children and grandparents. Whamond captures the bittersweet nature of holidays under quarantine.
