‘Waiting for Godot to join the Zoom meeting’ my cartoon for yesterday’s @guardianreview)
Title: waiting for Godot to join the Zoom call a zoom call. Vladimir and Estragon are in separate windows. They both gaze into the screen. A pause. Estragon: Nothing happens. Nobody comes. Nobody goes. Silence. Another pause. Vladimir: Shall we go? Estragon: yes, let’s go. Caption: they do not leave the meeting.
