Jon,

 

You’ve discovered a nifty new psychological survey method.  Mind if I pass it 
on to my qualitative psychology group?  If you don’t mind.  Why not all four 
cells in the table?   A measure of othering.  If I can share it, and you have 
it readily available, can you resend the link to the cartoon.  Thx.

Thank you, Glen and Frank. Seeing the image, and whether authoritarian or not, 
I couldn't help but relate. There have probably (right or wrong) been a number 
of times in the last month where the very same narrative ran through my mind 
while in line for coffee or groceries or whatever. I appreciate that the comic 
said nothing of vaccination, whether those in the crowd were or were not. I 
guess I read the comic as being an individual's feelings "in the moment", 
regardless of whether the causes are low-blood sugar or post-lockdown social 
anxiety or the sense that there is a breach of social contract or ...

 

What I like about the comic is that it could be a great way to poll the country 
(a'la one of those New Yorker comic contests we sometimes talk about on 
vFriam). We could produce a second comic with a person without a mask 
surrounded by masked individuals. Then with thought bubbles cleared, hand both 
images to people and ask them to fill in the bubbles for both comics. I can 
imagine that collecting the comics at the end would give a richer picture of 
the kinds of thoughts and feelings people actually have than the strangely 
averaged forms I often receive.
