Dear Virus - a lighter side of lockdown

Every day of lockdown, award winning illustrator Anna Crichton documented this unprecedented period in our history through the antics of Mr and Mrs Dear. Her affectionate cartoons became daily appointment viewing when they appeared on-line. We are with the Dears as they join the toilet paper panic, through to making bread, and hearing birdsong rather than the noise of passing planes and cars. Anna's now gathering up the cartoons and self-publishing the Dears' story in a book called Dear Virus. Anna is the five-time winner - and another five times a finalist - of the Qantas/Canon/Voyager Artist of the Year media award. Lynn Freeman asked her how Mr and Mrs Dear introduced themselves to her.
