From the get-go, the images coming in from Wuhan were making me really nervous. As far back as January, I had started wearing thin gloves everywhere I went so that if I had to use touchscreens for debit card payments, my flesh wouldn’t have to make contact with any shared surfaces. And I always used my pinky. I felt a touch silly & hypochondriac doing this. When I published the first installment of my new autobiographical series on social media February 22, 2020, it was to celebrate the charges that got dropped on my garbage infraction. As Covid-19 started creeping its way closer to Montreal, that’s where my comic strip went. My March 1 entry had actually been drawn before I knew about Quebec’s first case. They get darker from then on. I’ll be posting this series here five at a time as I make them. Stay indoors & wash your hands!
