Did you miss this New Yorker cartoon last week? It was at least as clever as what we’ve come to expect from the New Yorker:

Ha! Get it? Do you get it? Anti-maskers! Commentary!
This is stupid. https://t.co/XsmuiM1fvS

Of course it’s stupid. It’s the New Yorker. The home of elitist snobs who are completely out of touch with America.
Mocking Americans who are opposed to government mask mandates as anti-science rubes is not how you win them over, last time we checked. But like so many other liberal elitists, the New Yorker is determined not to learn from past mistakes and hellbent on doubling down.
That’s their prerogative, of course. But if they want to go that route, they should be prepared to get smacked around.
Has there ever been a New Yorker cartoon that was remotely funny? https://t.co/yyYvllIdJF

Only when it was one of the plots of a “Seinfeld” episode.
Otherwise … meh.
Now featuring a non sequitur in cartoon form…🙄 https://t.co/XaAGeXIBzh

If you remove your helmet in space, you die.
If you remove your mask on Earth, you don't die.
How did this narrative get so stupid? https://t.co/GQjJpPrQfh— Nick Rafter (@NRafter) February 7, 2022
Beyond stupid and not even close to a good analogy https://t.co/9SoEBNNQh9

Do better, New Yorker. It’s not that difficult.

There you go! Throw this in somehow and now you’ve got sharp political commentary:
