Knee-deep in Pandemia Kurt Mitchell

What we have collected here is Kurt's very last artistic achievement: his own personal response to the COVID-19 pandemic through a series of surrealistic pen-and-ink illustrations. We have arranged them by date. Even when working within the confines of the Coronavirus lockdown in Chicago, Kurt found a creative way to respond to the pandemic with wit, playfulness, pointed satire, and mordant humor. The setting, of course, is the world of 2020, but the fashion of choice is the mask of the 17th century physician.
