Great cartoons here, although I know you know travelling is the last thing anyone should be doing for the foreseeable future. It’s still fun to think about.

The top 2 ‘toons are my favorites of this group by William O’Brien. With that over-sized sombrero how would she have known he wasn’t her husband? (No snickering now.) In #two I have to ask myself could she be… an ‘escort’ or simply very flirtatious? Don’t know. The travel guy at the bottom is pretty rude. Ouch!
