Let's be honest. April Fool's Day was a mistake. We should not be observing it at all. Microsoft and Google have decided to ban observing the tradition, especially when we have more than enough trouble filtering out fake news. To make matters worse, pestilence is ravaging the globe, meaning we should cancel 2020's April Fool's Day, and perhaps stop observing April Fool's Day altogether.
If the pandemic delaying everything else that has not been cancelled, including the Super Smash Bros Ultimate's Fighters Pass Volume 2 DLC schedule was any indication, some characters will never get to take part in an official dueling league video game. Excluding Waluigi due to his self-pity and him being out of character in every Mario spin-off game he has appeared in, Sakura Kinomoto could be one of the biggest omissions from Smash Bros, especially when there is no official dueling league video game (excluding doujin games such as Magical Battle Arena and Magical Heroine Plus) that features magical girls. And chances of her becoming a dueling league super star are getting slimmer, not only because Masahiro Sakurai's health had been detrimental to him, but he said that "it's a total blank slate" after Smash Bros Ultimate's DLC is complete. Even his no non-video game characters policy is very unfriendly to our cute heroine, who understands that Sakurai's health is not in good shape for reasons unrelated to the pandemic. She also acknowledges that Super Smash Bros Ultimate will be the last game in the series due to the game being released in a very turbulent time. In other words, this could be our pretty mahou shoujo (magical girl) heroine's last chance to be in an official dueling league video game before the turbulent times become a devastating massacre not unlike the World of Light campaign's opening cinematic.
We should not let a devastating pestilence, along with the bad things in this comic bring our mood down. Even if they could, we must remember that things will get worse before they get better. Also, Jesus came to our world to warn us that there will be deceptions, wars, famines, pestilence and tribulation before his Second Coming brings all of them to an end.
Perhaps our world is suffering too much because we chose the wrong date to observe the start of the New Year. In fact, our calendar really needs a reboot...
Author's Note: So no entries came in regarding this post about entry submissions. But anyway, here are some interesting questions that require creativity to answer.
Everything we know about New Year's Day was wrong. The "little horn" of Daniel 7 did try to change the times and laws, and now we are welcoming the new year on the wrong day. Nobody can start anew during the middle of winter. The new day should begin at sunset, not at the stroke of midnight. Sunday could possibly be the wrong day to start the week. We even lost track of the tradition of observing the Sabbath day. In other words, the kingdom represented by the 4th beast of Daniel 7 had humanity living in confusion. But how did it begin?
Before the Julian Calendar was created, people welcomed the New Year on the Spring Equinox. But then Julius Caesar decided to force everyone in the Roman Empire to observe the 1st of January as the first day of the new year. Anybody who continues to observe the start of the new year on the Spring Equinox were considered "April Fools." That's where April Fool's Day comes from. Of course, many people rejected Julius Caesar's proposal, and some conspired to end his life under the belief that the creation of the Julian Calendar was part of Julius Caesar's quest to be emperor for life, and so they killed him on the Ides of March, which traditionally falls on the 15th of March. The assassination was so tragic that it became the first true "day of infamy." And bad things did really happen on the 15th of March throughout the years.
Speaking of bad days, Friday the 13th is also another bad day that humanity wish that they should not observe. However, Friday the 13th observation is harder to renounce because the superstition could have biblical roots. It was traditionally believed that bad things happen when there are thirteen diners sharing a meal. The Last Supper was the most well-known case, because Judas, the man who betrayed Jesus, happens to be the 13th guest. 13 was also believed to be a bad number because Revelation 13 speaks of two beasts who will serve the Evil One in ruling the Earth, and in Revelation 16:13, three unclean spirits will deceive the leaders of the nations of the Earth to make war against the Second Coming of Jesus. Friday was believed to be a bad day because in the Middle Ages, it was execution day for death row inmates. It was also believed that Jesus was crucified on a Friday, which is why we have Good Friday. It could also be possible that Friday the 13th had been condemned to have bad things happen on that particular day of any month because the demise of the Knights Templar was masterminded by a Great False Church, who used fake news as a weapon to frame them for crimes that they did not commit. Whether or not the Great False Church is the "little horn" of Daniel 7 could have confusing complications. But we all know that this Great False Church had denounced genuine biblical Christianity throughout history. This is why we need Jesus to return and rectify Earth's calendar so that we can observe the true Sabbath again, and not worry about any bad days at all.
Author's Note: This comic was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first deployment of tanks in World War 1. However, delays due to time constraints mean that this comic was released in 2020 instead, four years after this comic was first conceived.
Can you imagine how much tank technology has progressed since World War 1? Since then, tanks have become less clumsy with fewer cannons, but with faster speed, better armor and more accurate cannons. It's also incredible that outmoded tanks are still being deployed in war zones in an era when modern tanks will dominate the war zone. So much for innovation and ingenuity during World War 1.
