This cartoon has been so popular that Serbian Covid19 Response  Headquarter decided to use it as a poster in Belgrade's public transportation to send out Covid Safe Distancing Message. "Pjer 2020" winning caricatures, as a sort of a bitter-sweet reminder of the events of this year, have been showcased at the RTS Club exhibition in Belgrade. This year, a total of 250 caricatures were submitted at the contest which is named after the legendary caricaturist Pjer Križanić.
