More than 70 comic strips and panels, ranging from Garry Trudeau's ``Doonesbury'' to Jim Toomey's ``Sherman's Lagoon'' and Jeff Keane's ``Family Circus'', will each have six symbols hidden in the artwork to honour workers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic.
Look closely and you'll find a mask for medical workers and caregivers, a steering wheel for delivery workers, a shopping cart for grocery workers, an apple for teachers, a fork for food service workers and a microscope for medical researchers.
In ``Sherman's Lagoon,'' the six items are hidden in the ocean's reef.
In ``Blondie,'' they appear on the computer screen of over-worked Dagwood Bumstead.
In ``Zits,'' they hide in Jeremy Duncan's messy bedroom.
The initiative was thought up by ``Baby Blues'' co-cartoonist Rick Kirkman, who wanted to show his gratitude for the helpers. He consulted his colleagues, who helped shape the idea, and it just kept growing.
