The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for March 27, 2020

The medical work is Very Important, but so is a reason to smile.

Well someone has to.

Draw some cat face, face masks!

You are keeping the shut-ins entertained!

Sam is at high risk so you are too, you need high dose Jack Daniels.

A big thank you to Samantha and her colleagues who are risking their lives for the rest of us. That is real heroism. Help the best you can – stay in and wash your hands!

We love you, Lennie! Thank you for drawing a cat…

My wife’s cousin is a doctor that has tested positive for the virus, but has no symptoms. She is still allowed to practice, but has to wear protective gear to keep from spreading the illness.

We need the cat drawers more than ever right now. And you have a good subject.

Our fearless leader said there are plenty of tests and anyone who wants to get tested can do so. Just saw on the news one testing place shut down after two days because they ran out of tests. Some care givers are wearing garbage bags because they don’t have protective gowns to wear. Nice that people are being inventive, but they shouldn’t have to!

Thank her for me, Lennie. Nurses are the best.

@Perkycat . You’ve directed me to a winner. I see Rex kitty. Is Lennie the artist? Love this.

My sister-in-law is a nurse. She sent us a text the other day when she was added to the “covid team” with a shot of herself decked out in the gear. Hard work.

So who’s the real hero here? A nurse or a drawer of cats? Methinks the latter.

I hope Samantha has a good immune system so that she will not get any viruses.

I should be allowed to like this comic twice since my husband got a happy chuckle when I showed it to him!

At least it kept you away from the trombone.

Thank you for drawing cats, and musicians, and all – and when you can, give Sam a huge hug from this public for what she is doing.

Thank you, Samantha. And thank you Lennie for being who she gets to come home to.
