After a monumental week for same-sex marriage in the Supreme Court, The New Yorker celebrated the victory with a strong cover illustration that’s sure to get people talking.
The cover illustrated Sesame Street cast members Bert and Ernie, who were touted as roommates on the children’s show (but we all know the deal), cuddling close in the dark while tuning in to the Supreme Court rulings on a dated tube TV with antenna.
The New Yorker released the image with the following blurb:
“It’s amazing to witness how attitudes on gay rights have evolved in my lifetime,” said Jack Hunter, the artist behind next week’s cover, “Moment of Joy.” Hunter, who originally submitted his image, unsolicited, to a Tumblr, continued, “This is great for our kids, a moment we can all celebrate.”
This is probably the best thing we have seen on the internet this week.
