Two years in, the global coronavirus pandemic has been felt everywhere.
Political cartoonists across the world have been busy responding to the many faultlines of inequality that have underwritten everything from local to regional to international responses, particularly between rich and poor countries.
From Ecuador to Iran and Mexico to Jordon, from the rush for vaccines to those that have protected access to them, cartoonists have responded fiercely.
Here’s a selection of 13 unflinching cartoons (out of hundreds more!).
