Two panel comic from the Two panel comic from the Artblog comics series "Grand Ballroom of Doom." The first panel of the comic depicts a man during the second week of the pandemic, looking cheerful and carrying a freshly baked loaf of bread. The second panel shows the same man during the second year of the pandemic. He looks older and more worn out. He sits in an empty, dark room with only scarce sunshine coming in between the dawn blinds. His back is again the wall and he clothes his legs while he holds a beer can. There are more empty beer cans surrounding him.

Beginning with "well there was clearly nothing we could have done," the two hold their palm of their hands upwards, shrugging their shoulders, reiterating how nothing could've been done. By the end, a third man says "let's do something!" to which the other two say "we'd love to but we've got all these hands!" The final panel shows the man and woman shrugging, surrounded by multiples of their exaggerated upturned palms.
