Adding to the reasoned discourse our neighbours to the south are having vis-a-vis masks, I propose this design:
Simple message, allegedly true. Should head off any discussion about why I wear a mask. Although I have not, as of 2020-06-22, had anyone comment on my mask wearing, nor do I really expect to. But Joan reports “2 or 3” comments per day during the 1st week back at Value Village (~2020-06-15), as a cashier (not her regular back-room job as a pricer, where she’d meet few public, just cow-workers)
I had originally had “My” instead of “This” as the first word. I changed to remove any suggestion it’s about the wearer.
Seriously, how can anyone question the wearer? My response would be something like “I wear this mask, as uncomfortable as it is, to protect you. It’s in black & white in the middle of my face.”, although I’d be hard-pressed to be that kind.
In hindsight, I might be retro-referring (retro-riffiing on?) Woody Guthrie’s “This machine kills facists” sticker/graffiti on his guitar.
For those that prefer more colour & tribal membership(s), add flags, sports team logos, the always important SUPREME logo, band logos, etc, etc.
Also, I submit the above graphic as further evidence of my MS Paint skills. And the font was a deliberate choice, selected to flush out the real nerds.
