Dave Granlund's cartoon shows a row of gravestones in a green cemetery, each inscribed with familial terms like mom, mother, nana, mum, grandma, and ma, adorned with potted flowers in vibrant colors. A speech bubble floats above, saying 'ON OUR DAY WE STILL LOVE VISITS...' with pink hearts scattered around, under a tree branch. The image evokes remembrance on mothers day for those passed away, emphasizing visits to graves of died loved ones. Tags like mothers, day, gone, flowers, and missing underscore the theme of honoring the deceased. This straightforward drawing uses simple lines and colors to convey quiet emotion without overstatement, fitting for editorial pages around the holiday.
