The very talented Mr. Blitt

Barry Blitt is known for his routinely superb editorial cartoons and illustrations, and for his great wit.  His work (for which was he awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 2020) appears regularly in The New Yorker, and, not infrequently, on the magazine's cover. 

Here is his latest drawing, from the cover of The New Yorker's May 11th & May 18th double issue, which focuses upon America's upcoming 250th anniversary. The drawing is titled "Red, White, and Kinda Blue."
