Catching up with the Lily's webcomics - their favorite 10, and more

I still can't figure out how to search for these on the Post's website - anyone have any hints? Our last update of these was early May, when clicking on the word "Perspective" (not cartoon since they're not labelled as such) worked, but it doesn't seem to anymore.

Here's what they listed as their 10 best which means that over 44 may not have been linked to here.

Our 10 favorite comics that captured 2022

We hope that they surprise and delight you, make you laugh or teach you something new about the world around you

Life in Ukraine amid months of war

The Post published 54 comics journalism strips not labelled as such in 2022

...and note that the cartoonists are listed as 'illustrators' and the heading is 'Perspective' not comics.  I've missed almost all of these even though I'm a print and digital subscriber.
