Seen in 702: Panicking? Who’s panicking? Not our social media pals
Lucy Van Pelt: Maybe you have pantophobia. Do you think you have pantophobia?
Charlie Brown: What’s pantophobia?

Charlie Brown: THAT’S IT! — “A Charlie Brown Christmas”
It looks like we’ve reached this point with the coronavirus pandemic — somewhere between complete panic and the final scene of “Blackadder Goes Forth.”
I’ve gone through portions of both phases, to be honest. For this exercise, I choose to celebrate the gallows humor that has shown through the various social media feeds I view.

Last plea

Please. Help this man get rid of his hair.
