Two pictures of David Lynch from his YouTube series during lockdown. In panel one he says "good morning, everyone. It's..." In panel two he looks to the side in slightly aggrieved perplexity and the caption reads "It's an absolute shitshow out there, today." Thanks to @sadpeaks on IG for this!

On this day one year ago, #DavidLynch left us for places wonderful and strange. Rest in Peace.
