“Naale Baa” is based off an urban legend of 1990s wherein residents of a few villages in Karnataka began
writing Naale Baa/Come tomorrow on their doors to ward of an evil spirit from entering their households.
This was apparently a successful measure against the evil spirit!

In this cartoon, the same line fits true for social distancing and home quarantine. A pun which is intended
here is to suggest that certain laymen think that ‘Naale baa’ quote is stronger than ‘Go corona’ without
actually realising how social distancing has helped and not merely writing or saying things!
