Barry Blitt’s “Red, White, and Kinda Blue”
巴里·布里特（Barry Blitt）的《红、白、与微蓝》（Red, White, and Kinda Blue）
America’s birthday party.
美国的生日派对。
May 4, 2026
For the cover of the May 11 & 18, 2026, special issue, themed around America’s 250th birthday, the cartoonist Barry Blitt portrays George Washington, the country’s first President, caught in the spirit of the moment. “There’s plenty to celebrate. Climate catastrophes are still somewhat infrequent . . . more or less. And, you’re free to express your opinion, as long as you keep your voice down and remember who you’re talking to,” Blitt said. “Also, the electrical grid appears to be holding for now. And, with any luck, the midterms will bring a ray of hope for the 251st Fourth of July, and beyond.”
为2026年5月11日与18日合刊的《纽约客》特辑——以美国建国250周年为主题——漫画家巴里·布里特（Barry Blitt）在封面上描绘了美国首任总统乔治·华盛顿，他正沉浸于当下的氛围之中。“值得庆祝的事不少。气候灾难仍算偶发……大致如此。而且，只要压低嗓门、记住你在跟谁说话，你大可以自由表达意见，”布里特说，“此外，电网目前似乎还能撑住。运气好的话，中期选举或许能为第251个独立日及更远的未来带来一线希望。”
