The Official Mascot of 2020

The official mascot of 2020: Always wears a mask. Compulsively washes hands. Letters of racoon rearranged spell corona.

A raccoon stands in shallow water, with captions describing it as the official mascot of 2020 because it wears a mask-like facial pattern, washes its hands compulsively, and the letters of “racoon” can be rearranged to spell “corona.” The joke refers to COVID-19 pandemic precautions and uses the raccoon’s appearance and washing behavior as a playful reaction to the year.
