COVID-19, Interpreted Through the Lens of the Flaming Lips, in Cartoon Form
I did not draw this cartoon. The source for it is Wayne Coyne’s Instagram account (here), and my guess is that he is the cartoonist. If I’m wrong about that, though, please let me know in a comment.
Sixteen {7/2} Star Heptagons
Two of the heptagrams are centered in the middle, while the other fourteen are smaller, and form a ring around the two in the center.
Ten Pentagrams
The ten pentagrams meet at a common vertex in the center.
Fourteen Heptagrams
The fourteen heptagrams, also known as {7/3} star heptagons, meet at a common vertex in the center of the whole diagram. I did the math using Geometer’s Sketchpad, and then colored the result using MS-Paint.
