Hard Truths About The End of a Cruel Age

If there are any lessons to learn from life that proves that the Bible was always right all along, it has to be about how time and again Isaiah 43:18-19 will always be proven correct about not dwelling on the past, whether it's bad or good. Surely the nostalgia for the past has been a recurring theme for thousands of years. However, we must remember that all of it will be irrelevant because the Great Tribulation that will ends with this cruel Evil Age coming to its violent end will bring about mass destruction so unthinkable that the prophets of old who wrote about them could only describe in the language of their day. In other words, forgetting about the former things and not dwelling on the past will be more relevant when the Great Tribulation comes to destroy everything we hold dear...

Morale Decline

Author's Note: This comic's template comes from the Anime series We Never Learn.

If there is any Anime series that is known for making Anime fans' morale dwindle drastically, it has to be Puella Magi Madoka Magica. While the first two episodes did not cause morale to go into free fall, the depression began in Episode 3, where Charlotte ate Mami Tomoe's head. Things only got worse from that point on.

And then, Sayaka Miki became a witch at the end of Episode 8. That's where morale plummeted even further. However, morale went up when Madoka Kaname decided to become a goddess in Episode 12. Even then, this was a bittersweet ending because her physical existence was erased as a result of the choice she made.

Therefore, avoid Puella Magi Madoka Magica if you think your morale is prone to plummeting in the face of despair and looming doom.

Four Fan Arts Entry

Characters in this #FourFanArts Challenge Entry: AOL Instant Messenger Running Man, The Peanut Butter Jelly Time Dancing Banana, Jennifer (Hebereke), Star Pixie (MapleStory).

You have heard about the #SixFanArts Challenge. But what about the lite variants such as the #ThreeFanArts Challenge and the #FourFanArts Challenge? Well, this comic is taking on the #FourFanArts Challenge.

Do you remember the time when AOL Instant Messenger once ruled the messaging scene? Its mascot, a yellow Running Man, became an iconic figure because he was everywhere—on the login screen, in the ads and even on AOL CDs that flooded mailboxes in the late 1990s.

The Dancing Banana needs no introduction whatsoever. Created by Trym Stene in 1999, the Dancing Banana GIF only soared in popularity when it got combined with the song "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" by DJ Chip-Man and The Buckwheat Boyz in the early 2000s. And yes, there is a lot of fan art of this Dancing Banana on the Internet.

You may have heard about Hebereke, but what about the titular character's other friends? Jennifer the green anglerfish deserves some love too since he's the 4th member of the main cast and is able to walk underwater.

While MapleStory fans often like to talk about the Orange Mushrooms, the Slimes, and several major bosses such as Pink Bean and Zakum, the Star Pixie, however, gets very little attention from Nexon and MapleStory fans. It may have been featured in a few official MapleStory wallpapers, but it rarely got the spotlight from Nexon. So much for being overshadowed by multiple different characters.

In Memory of Chuck Norris

On the 19th of March, 2026, 9 days after Chuck Norris celebrated his 86th Birthday, The End finally came for Chuck Norris. Even in death, Chuck Norris will still live on.

To quote Mike Tyson when he tweeted his farewell to Muhammad Ali, "God came for his champion. So long great one."

Overdue Cessation of Operations

Remember that comic about Cohost closing down? Well, this already happened to Japanese web portal Goo, and now this is happening to the Lycos-owned website hosting services Tripod and Angelfire, both of which have been around since the mid-1990s. However, some netizens say that this closure was long overdue, while others will lament over this closure, calling it the end of an era, which is actually true.

As depressing as this sounds, maybe we need to heed the words of Isaiah 43:18-19, which has been discouraging us from dwelling on the past, whether it's good or bad. Eventually, we will have to embrace the post-Apocalyptic future, where traces of this present cruel Age no longer have any meaning other than to serve as a reminder of a bygone Era.

Imminent Regret

On the 14th of March, 2026, Cuba was rocked by one of the biggest revolts since Fidel Castro's 1959 Revolution. This revolt was in protest against the Communist regime amid blackouts that were made worse by a US oil blockade.

Speaking of Cuba's 1959 Revolution, SNK lionized this revolution in their 1987 Arcade game Guerrilla War, which was originally released in Japan as Guevara. In Guerrilla War, Player 1 is in the shoes of the titular character Che Guevara, while Player 2 takes up the role of Fidel Castro. Now that the Cuban people are revolting against the ideology that Che Guevara and Fidel Castro fought for in Guerrilla War, should the Communist regime fall, it will leave SNK wallowing in regret because the Arcade game that was based on the 1959 Cuban Revolution will be on the list of poorly-aged things.

Hotel New World Memorial Proposal

Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the Infamous Hotel New World collapse that caused the deaths of 33 people. However, at the time of this comic being uploaded, no physical monument to the tragedy has been erected. This includes the lack of a memorial plaque inside Hotel New World's replacement Owen House by Habyt (previously Hmlet), which used to be called Fortuna Hotel before it adopted its current name. A memorial plaque inside Owen House would not only serve as a memorial to the tragedy, it would also serve as a memorial to resilience as well.
