Every week, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 41-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
If David tells me these are not children in Gaza, I will of course believe him. But since I’m the caption writer in this collaboration (of more than 15 years), I’ll stick with my interpretation. Gaza, where “feeling cute might delete later” turned into “feeling afraid might get deleted later.”
