  • Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty Pollyanna!

The article from The New Yorker, published on December 18th, features a daily cartoon by Christopher Weyant titled "Planet of the Optimists." The cartoon humorously depicts a scene where a group of people, labeled as "optimists," are gathered around a small, lush, green planet, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding barren, desolate landscape. This imagery likely satirizes the tendency of some individuals to remain hopeful or positive despite overwhelming evidence suggesting otherwise, possibly commenting on climate change denial or general societal optimism in the face of adversity. The cartoon uses visual irony to convey its message, highlighting the contrast between the optimists' perception and the stark reality around them.
