In this epidemic, we need all hands on deck—even if some of those hands are cast bronze. As Philadelphia’s Association of Public Art’s website states: “Public art can express community values...(and) heighten awareness" among other things. Well, no time like the present for our art pieces to chip in and remind us what needs to be done during this time of communal stress. We’re all in this together, even our statues.

Editorial cartoons from this week include:

  1. A sidewalk view of Philly’s gun violence

  2. Homeschooling President Trump on the coronavirus

  3. The greed virus shut down Hahnemann Hospital

  4. Rob Tornoe on phones and screens
