Heisei Sunset
30th of April, 2019, will be remembered as the last day of the Heisei Era, as Japan ushers in the Reiwa Era on the 1st of May, 2019.
While the Heisei Era has its ups and downs, video game communities should remember that the Console Wars between Nintendo and Sega began in the Heisei Period, and for a while after Atari exited hardware production, the Console Wars was an all Japanese affair. Many of the best Japanese video game systems such as the Game Boy, the PlayStation and the Wii were launched during the Heisei Era. The Heisei Era was also known for manga and anime hitting the international stage big time, and most of the best anime came from that era.
I do hope that the Reiwa Era will be the era where Japan will be more open to receive the Word of God.

The Fronk Wars
Islands has to be one of the most chaotic mini-games featured in Game and Wario, especially when there is a seagull picking up Fronks and dropping them on a random location, mostly water, a tower stage where the tower capsizing means game over and the Fronk color that capsized the tower instantly loses with score wiped to zero, and a scale stage where Fronks sink should one side of the scale become too heavy.
The Islands mini-game boosted Fronk's popularity, and it got even better for this blocky side character in WarioWare Gold, where he was given a speaking role, and a vague backstory of how 9-Volt found him.
If Fronk was to be in a future Super Smash Bros game, he would be a shield breaker throwing item who would make a better shield breaker than Mr Saturn, as he would deal more damage than Mr Saturn, and he would not be randomly walking around.
Therefore, Fronk is a far better side character than Waluigi, because Waluigi does not even have a backstory, in contrast to Fronk's vague backstory.

DS Colors that never were
There are many colours for the Nintendo DS, just as there many colours for the Game Boy. But the ones in this comic are all my original ideas of Nintendo DS colours that never existed, but should have, especially the SNES Edition DS Lite, although the New Nintendo 3DS XL received Super Famicom and SNES Editions.
On a side note, happy 30th anniversary, Game Boy.

Censored Content
This no entry sign with the word "Censored" will define the future of the internet.
Internet freedom is being phased out, and cyber-crime will be to blame for draconian laws being implemented. As Earth edges closer to the dystopian future of Revelation 13, where nobody can do business anywhere except under special conditions, new copyright laws being implemented by corrupt bureaucrats could be used to filter out anything that these people do not like, including the truth, which they obviously cannot handle. Therefore, it is safe to say that we are living near the end times.

Inflation amid a downturn
Author's Note: This comic was made in 2012 to reflect the hard times of that particular year. And now 2019 is starting to be a year where the dark times are finally coming in full force.
To be fair and honest, oil prices started going down in 2014. Since then, the oil prices have been fluctuating between occasional price hikes and price drops. Public transport fares did decrease, but the decrease was so insignificant, that the public transport fares still affect people who ride on public transport.
While property prices did start decreasing in recent years, affordable housing is still all but a distant memory. Food prices, however, have yet to see a true price drop.
