At least it’s almost over?

The centre of the frame has a giant stone "2016." The 6 has been knocked over and damaged. The curly-haired editor is on the left, burning 2016 with a flamethrower. Bespectacled editor attacks the fallen 6 with a baseball bat.

Yeah, I know. This cartoon has nothing to do with editing or publishing. I’d considered a more subtle “Let’s mark up 2016 with a dele and an editorial note saying something like ‘Unrealistic’ or ‘Too dark,'” but that joke’s been played out on social media. Here, then, are my raw feelings about this horror show of a year. Let’s hope things get better.

Love to you and yours this holiday season.
