Some months into the COVID-19 pandemic, I learned that my children had begun watching the Australian cartoon series “Bluey.” My first instinct was to deliver a sermon on politicization. Surely the Land Down Under, imposer of some of the strictest lockdown measures on the planet, would use its cultural export to lecture children on the benefits of indoor masking. Perhaps the show’s anthropomorphic dogs would line up on-screen to get their “jab,” blithely queuing to embrace their destiny as wards of a medico-tyrannical state.
