20 Percent

KAM

on Sept. 25, 2020

There was a big fire near where I lived, so I was paying attention to the news coverage and it seemed like all the newscasts kept saying the fire was "20 percent contained" when the estimate should have changed over time, especially when the fire drastically increased. I'm not sure if this was a first estimate that newsreaders kept repeating, or a fake number to give people hope, but it was weird that it never changed.

Sorry about no comics earlier this week. I was just feeling blah and my ability to draw was 20 percent contained.
