Leotard Swimsuit

Female swimsuits that resemble long-sleeve gymnastics leotards actually exist. It sounds crazy, but it's officially true. Swimwear designers actually looked to long-sleeve gymnastics leotards to get inspiration for new swimsuit designs, which resulted in long-sleeve swimsuits that resemble gymnastics leotards.

It gets even crazier when you learn that leotards that can be worn as swimsuits exist. The Water Jester Costume from Cardcaptor Sakura comprises of a water-resistant dress and a blue leotard, which makes some people wonder if it is actually a swimsuit. In the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series, the female characters wear gymnastics leotards that function as swimsuits in the swimming events. If these instances of leotards being worn for situations where they will get wet are crazy, then you have not heard of the leotards offered by Destira. Some of their leotards can be worn as swimsuits. This means Cardcaptor Sakura and the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series both laid the foundations for leotards that are designed to be worn as swimsuits.

Remembering the Neo Geo

The Neo Geo. The arcade cabinet that transformed SNK into a serious Console Wars contender by giving us The King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown and Metal Slug. A true icon of video game history that may have influenced the creation of the Newgrounds website. Now, more than 30 years later, the Neo Geo is still the greatest arcade cabinet in video game history, with the Sega Astro City being the only serious contender that I know of.

Swimming Pool Matriarch Visual Gag Variations 6

Author's Note: It's been a few months since the previous Matriarch of the Swimming Pool Visual Gag Variations comic. Maybe time constraints do have a serious effect on comic production after all...

Did you know that Casio used to manufacture video game consoles? That's right. Casio, a manufacturer of calculators and watches, used to manufacture video game consoles, namely the PV-1000, PV-2000 and Loopy. Unfortunately, due to poor sales, all of Casio's consoles were discontinued after a short period of time.

Despite the retirement of the MiG-21s, Romania's armed forces are not in good shape. Their only submarine, the Delfinul, has been relegated to the sidelines since 1995 and it has not received replacement batteries since the initial batteries were exhausted in 1996. Therefore, it would be safe to decommission and scrap the Delfinul because none of the proposals to overhaul the submarine have been implemented. Also, Romania's TR-85 is a problematic tank because it was mechanically unreliable during initial tests. Even after modernization programs in the mid-1990s, the TR-85 is still not a good tank because it's worse than India's Arjun MBT.

Speaking of terrible tanks, Switzerland's Panzer 68 has to be the worst tank to enter military service because of multiple problems were found in the Panzer 68, including radios interfering with the turret system. With that said, between the woes of the Panzer 68 and Switzerland lacking a proper navy, Switzerland is better off not being on the list of playable countries in Systemsoft Beta's Daisenryaku series. Even Romania, whose armed forces are in bad shape, has the potential to be on the list of playable countries in the Daisenryaku series.

If you watched the scene where Godzilla arrives in Tokyo in Godzilla Minus One, Godzilla is confronted by several Type 4 Chi-To tanks. In real life, only two Chi-To tanks were built, and both were thrown into a lake at the end of World War 2. If we want Godzilla Minus One to be true to Japan in 1947, it would make more sense if Godzilla was confronting Type 1 Chi-He tanks and Type 3 Chi-Nu tanks. After all, these two tanks are more numerous than the Chi-To.

Have you ever wondered why Nintendo and the Pokemon Anime's writers were unkind to Ash Ketchum? For all we know, Ash Ketchum and his namesake Satoshi Tajiri were one and the same. And this plot twist gets even crazier when we learn that Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Looks like we found another legitimate reason to boycott Nintendo because they have been mean to somebody who has a variation of autism.

Breaking Waluigi

There's a good reason Waluigi is destined for a life of self-pity. Waluigi is not related to Wario, which explains the lack of Waluigi in the WarioWare series.

Ravioli Pizza

Yes, ravioli pizza actually exists, and it's a delicious must-try, just like ravioli lasagna.

Special Themed Restaurants and Hotels

Special themed restaurants and hotel rooms do exist. They are uncommon, however.

A RuneScape-themed restaurant might sound like a great idea. In fact, I would be tasting some of the dishes that come from the game. The problem is, will the RuneScape fanbase patronise the place? What about ex-RuneScape players or people who do not know about the game?

Themed hotel rooms dedicated to the history of companies such as Fujitsu and Panasonic sound like a great idea. However, such hotel rooms would cater more to business people. But I feel that hotel rooms dedicated to the histories of Fujitsu and Panasonic should also have the video game consoles from these two companies. If I were to stay in a Fujitsu-themed hotel room, I would like to try out the Fujitsu FM Towns Marty. In the case of a Panasonic-themed hotel room, I would be hoping to try out a Panasonic 3DO.

Despite all the problems faced by special themed restaurants and hotel rooms, these places are here to stay as long as they have paying customers.

Justice for Magical Girls

Puella Magi Madoka Magica has done a huge disservice to Magical Girl Anime as a whole. The real culprit behind it, however, is Kyubey. He's the one who needs to be punished for all the wrongs he did to Magical Girl Anime by being given the death sentence. Blondette says that Kyubey should be run over with a motorized vehicle, with her choice being an Alfa Romeo. Brunetta and Sabriel would like to slash Kyubey with a battleaxe. Turquoise, Amethyst and Magenta would prefer to hurl a Molotov Cocktail in Kyubey's face. But I would prefer to have Kyubey mutilated with a battleaxe before running him over with an Alfa Romeo and burning his crushed corpse by hurling a Molotov Cocktail at him. How's that for brutality in the name of justice?

Another reason magical girls need justice is because of the lack of magical girls in the Super Smash Bros series. Other than the Lip, Ashley and Veronica Outfits for Mii Swordfighters, Magical Girls do not have any representation in the Super Smash Bros series at all. Perhaps this will all change in Super Smash Bros 6. However, Puella Magi Madoka Magica may have made Nintendo think twice. Perhaps the horrors found in Puella Magi Madoka Magica were one of the reasons Masahiro Sakurai prohibited non-video game characters from taking part in the Super Smash Bros series. He knows better than to include anything that is too horrific for Nintendo's customers.

D-Day 80th Anniversary

Today marks the 80th Anniversary of the historic D-Day Landings at Normandy. Between this event and the Russo-German War, the Third Reich was doomed, and Europe was liberated.

Unfortunately, this landmark anniversary has been overshadowed by the decline of the Anglosphere, the war in Israel, tensions over Taiwan and Korea, the Russo-Ukrainian War, and Europe shunning its liberators in favor of another attempt to revive the Roman Empire. Hitler's Third Reich was merely the sixth attempt to revive the Roman Empire. The European Union that deceived its member states has now been revealed to be the seventh attempt to revive the Roman Empire.

Then again, Germany did not see the armies of the United States, Britain and Canada as liberators who overthrew a tyrannical regime but occupiers because the directive that was issued to Allied Forces in 1945 stated that Germany was to be occupied as a defeated enemy nation and not for the purpose of liberation. This is not a good sign because Germany is rejecting democracy in favor of another attempt to revive the Roman Empire and it will result in another World War. One that will end in no flesh being saved alive if Christ does not return...

Plumb Line Vision

Author's Note: To my American and German readers, please take note of the plumb line vision in Amos 7 if you want to save yourselves from God's Judgment upon the Earth.

If you have read Amos 7:7-8, you would have been aware of God showing Amos a plumb line. This means God has had enough of Israel's crooked ways and he will no longer spare them.

For those wondering what a plumb line is, it is a cord with a non-magnetic weight attached to one end. Plumb lines are used in construction to find the true vertical. The last thing engineers who work in construction want is a leaning wall because walls fall in the direction in which it is leaning.

It's possible Donald Trump's second term as President of the United States of America as well as the Olaf Scholz Administration in the Federal Republic of Germany are the plumb lines of our modern age. If that is true, then Pax Americana and the Second German Democracy are on their last legs because America's sins are worse than we thought, while Germany's lack of repentance proves that Niklas Frank was right all along about Germany not repenting for all the wrongs they did in World War 2.

In conclusion, America and Germany will be at the mercy of God's Judgment before the end of this cruel age.

The Weird Side of the Web

The Internet can sometimes be a weird place, and here are just twelve images that define Internet weirdness.

There were occasions where belly dancers' skirts fell down, resulting in their panties getting exposed. It's a good thing the panties prevented further indecent exposure, because it could have been worse for the belly dancer whose skirt fell down if she did not wear any panties.

Wearing shorts that are skin-tight may not be a good idea, because the back of the shorts could rip, resulting in underwear getting exposed. One must wonder how would Peach respond to other people's reactions to her ripped shorts.

Pantsing images are quite common, and many of these images are considered inappropriate, even if the panties that got exposed were bikini bottoms.

In the Splatoon series, Inklings dissolve in water, which explains the orange ink puddle and the floating Squid Girl swimsuit in the swimming pool.

Since 2021, Smurf accounts have been the targets of the banhammer because Smurf accounts ruin gaming experiences for many people.

Toad deserves to get stabbed by Link, Cloud, Yuko and Schezo for being a potentially destructive parasite in the guise of a helpless but irritating nuisance.

Animal Crossing Villagers do not like being stuck in pitfalls, and the male Villager is shocked after getting stuck in a pitfall.

Many Fall Guys players keep falling off the edge in stages that are suspended in the sky.

Forehead coin to funnel is weird because in involves pouring water through a funnel into somebody's pants. Panties were not meant to get wet, unless they were bikini bottoms.

When I went on a cruise ship in 2013, I went to watch an ice skating performance. A female ice skater took her removable skirt off her leotard near the end of the show.

The armors from Mario Strikers Charged are bulletproof and do not crack, in contrast to the brittle armors from Ghosts'n Goblins.

Boyshorts panties that look like the shorts worn by Pyra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 actually exist. They may be tiny, but they are more modest than conventional panties. Even wearing a tiny pair of shorts as tiny as the one worn by Pyra under skirts or dresses helps to prevent panty shots.

The Duality of Clarice

In the 2004 mobile game City Connection Rocket, Clarice is seen blushing when wearing a bikini after the player completes a level set in Hawaii. Three years later, in Jaleco Super Tennis, when Clarice wins, she is seen wearing a bikini, but she is happy and not blushing anymore. Perhaps Clarice did not want to be seen wearing a bikini in City Connection Rocket, but all of that changed by the time Jaleco Super Tennis was released for Japanese cellphones three years later.

Windows 11 Backlash

Microsoft has once again made its customers unhappy. Windows 11 is getting bad reviews from its users. Even Windows operating systems that got negative reviews such as Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows Me were nowhere near as awful as Windows 11 despite the fact that these three operating systems have more haters than Windows 11.

Then again, Windows 11 is gaining haters faster than Windows Me, Windows Vista and Windows 8 because you have to sign in with a Microsoft Account to use Windows 11, and it "forces" you to use Microsoft Edge to browse the Internet. So much for Microsoft trying to create an operating system that they claim is better than Windows 10, but in reality is a step backward from its predecessor.

Fair Use VS European Union

Why does the European Union want to attack Fair Use and free speech on the Internet? Because the European Union is ruled by unelected bureaucrats that hate Fair Use and free speech on the Internet. That's why the European Union is establishing an anti-Anglo-Saxon, anti-democratic, anti-free-enterprise regulatory system built on the basis of the inquisitorial Roman Law, where accused suspects are guilty until proven innocent, in contrast to English Law, where accused suspects are innocent until proven guilty. Looks like those who claim that the European Union will evolve into the Beast Regime that Revelation 13 speaks about may have been right all along...

At World's End

Have you ever wondered what would you do on the day of world's end? Well, that is exactly what this weekend's Splatoon 3 Splatfest is all about.

Blondette, Brunetta and Turquoise would treat the day of world's end like any other day. Red Cap, Amethyst, Sabriel and Magenta would prefer to check off their bucket lists on the day of world's end. For Red Cap, it would be to collect one copy of every Sega Saturn game from all regions (North America, PAL regions, Japan, South Korea) while Amethyst, Sabriel and Magenta would rather get 100% completion rate on Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase. Major Duncan, Captain Rodney and Oberon, however, would do anything to avert world's end by taking down the villains responsible for bringing about this apocalyptic event.

For those wondering what a bucket list is, it is a list of things somebody would like to do or achieve before they die.

The End of Rooster Teeth

This is it. The day Rooster Teeth's website goes offline has finally come, and it's all the fault of David Zaslav's bad management of Warner Bros.

Farewell, Rooster Teeth, and thanks for the great Halo machinima series Red vs Blue!

The Overdue Handover

Today is the last day of Lee Hsien Loong's reign as Singapore's Prime Minister before the historic handover because tomorrow marks the day he hands the reins over to Lawrence Wong. Lee Hsien Loong was already mulling over handing the Prime Minister role to Lawrence Wong before the pandemic, but the pandemic delayed his handover plans. In other words, this is a handover that was long overdue.

United By Epic Handshakes

People doing the Epic Handshake from Predator (1987), from left to right: Spelunker (Spelunker) and Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Lucia (Wing of Madoola) and Yuko (Valis), Ptolemy (The Fairyland Story) and Ripple (Magical Chase), Megumin (Konosuba) and Atsuko (Little Witch Academia).

Author's Note: This comic is dedicated to the memory of Carl Weathers, who passed away earlier this year. He will be best remembered for his role as Dillon from the 1987 movie Predator, in which Dillon and Arnold Schwarzenegger's character Dutch invented the Epic Handshake meme years before the World Wide Web went mainstream.

In order to stand up against the coming darkness, we all need to do the Epic Handshake to stand united. This is important because the turmoil of the last days will be way worse than the turmoil from the past 120 years that has come and gone.

Regulatory Imperialism

Nobody wants to hear this, but the real truth about the growing Internet censorship, be it the copyright takedowns or the European Union, Brazil and Australia calling for the censorship of X (formerly Twitter), is that Germany has imposed its will on the World Wide Web through mundane, boring legislation. It's called regulatory imperialism, and the European Union is weaponizing it. This is even more dangerous than the last time Germany plunged the world into a global conflict because the corrupt bureaucrats, their pawns and their allies will be screaming for your imprisonment for saying bad things about them online or just trying to defend free speech, Fair Use and freedom of creativity. It gets even worse when you learn that countries that are not part of the European Union such as Brazil, Japan, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, have signed regulation treaties with the European Union, meaning the only way to do business with the European Union is to obey their regulations. This includes copyright regulations, which can explain all the copyright takedowns, whether they are unlawful or not.

In conclusion, we are indeed living in the twilight days of Internet freedom, and its all the fault of an undemocratic institution that cheated and lied to millions of Europeans, including the French and the Germans...

Imprisoned for being Deceitful

Credits to SrGrafo for providing the template for this comic.

If copyright trolls were thrown into prison, expect their fellow prisoners to bully them while the prison guards do nothing about it because the copyright trolls deserve this humiliation conga for being deceitful just like the European Union's corrupt bureaucrats.

Breaking Belgium

Remember when I made a comic about what will happen to Wallonia and Flanders when Belgium breaks in two? Well, I'm back with a new comic concerning the future of Belgium.

If Belgium were to break up in the near future, it will plunge Europe into chaos far worse than the conflict in Ukraine. In fact, Europe will be plunged into a far worse crisis than World War 2, and it could bring about the end of the world as we know it...

Hammer Axes United

Characters wielding hammer axes, from left to right: Ax Battler (Golden Axe), Tyris Flare (Golden Axe), Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Klonoa (Klonoa), Lemming (Lemmings).

Yes, hammer axes do exist as actual weapons. Not only in fantasy fiction, but also in real life as well.

Remember when I came up with comics where people rise up in united arms against injustice? Well, I'm back with a new comic where people rise up in united arms against injustice.

Bubsy Gets Kicked

People kicking Bubsy, from left to right: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Suchie-Pai (Suchie-Pai), Yuko Asou (Valis), Volcana (Ultra Vortek), Spelunker (Spelunker), Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis).

It's sad that Bubsy's creator Michael Berlyn is dead. Bubsy's existence was a mistake, and it doesn't help that Atari now owns Bubsy. Talk about a miserable existence...

At least Atari would be kind enough to let anyone kick Bubsy as long as Fair Use allows it.

Despised by Other Prisoners

Author's Note: Credits to Dueling Analogs, who had their final curtain call on 31 July 2018, for providing the template for this comic. Also, my apologies for not uploading any new comics on this blog because I was busy reuploading them on my new Gettr account, so you might want to check it out here.

Copyright trolls should be thrown into prison, only to die the same way Alexei Navalny died in prison. Period. Also, killing leftists may not be the right way to get rid of them because it can get you a prison sentence.

Remembering The Good Times

Who can remember the good times from before 2020? I can. Especially when the first half of the 2010s were happier days due to the Ice Bucket Challenge. Even having a photo-taking session before jumping into a lake brought so much joy back in the days before 2020. After all, girls do like to look good in swimwear before getting wet, whether by jumping off a cliff into a lake or doing the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Sunset of Japanese Freedom

Remember the time when I made a comic about the assassination of Shinzo Abe potentially heralding the death of Japanese democracy? It turns out the death of Shinzo Abe will not cause the death of Japanese democracy, but rather, his death delayed the inevitable demise of Japanese democracy instead.

If you dislike Shinzo Abe, blame him for putting the freedoms of the Japanese people to the sword. Shinzo Abe tried to abolish the war-renouncing Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, but it provoked opposition to his proposal, with one of those opponents being the late Anime music composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was also known for being the composer of the Sega Dreamcast startup sound. But worse than the proposal to remove the anti-war portion of the Japanese Constitution was the ratification of the 2017 anti-terrorism law that criminalized many minor crimes, with copyright infringement being one of them. This was what really put the freedoms of the Japanese people to the sword. Even worse still is the possibility of the anti-terrorism law classifying Fair Use as an act of terrorism because Fair Use does not exist in Japanese copyright law.

All in all, the Japan that Shigeru Miyamoto and the late Akira Toriyama were born into is now a disappearing memory of a bygone era that no longer exists, and it's all the fault of Shinzo Abe.

Foolishness of God

You were expecting a comic about Resurrection Sunday to be uploaded. But it was a comic about why April Fools' Day needs to be abolished that got uploaded instead.

April Fools' Day was a mistake because there is nothing good about foolishness, and this was explicitly stated in the Bible. The foolishness of God, however, is wiser than men. But April Fools' Day has nothing to do with the foolishness of God because it was never the result of the foolishness of God. Therefore, April Fools' Day should be abolished because it is one of the fruits of the confusion this world has been afflicted with.

Exposing the Emissions Cartel

You were expecting a comic about Good Friday or crucifixion. But it was a comic about German consumers being angry at the corporate greed of their country's automakers that got uploaded instead.

Did you know that BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche were accused of operating a "car cartel" as far back as the 1990s? Despite being arch-rivals, these German automakers have been revealed to be secretly working together to deceive American environmental agencies. All of this was part of the German industrialists' post-war plan to conquer the global economy. Unfortunately, German consumers have seen this deception, and are now furious at such anti-consumer business practices. This is the "Dieselgate" scandal, and German consumers have joined hands with American consumers to boycott Volkswagen in protest against anti-consumer business practices.

However, that is nothing compared to the German business leaders' corporate greed being responsible for the Second Reich instigating World War 1 and the Third Reich instigating World War 2. This means Kaiser Wilhelm II as well as Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were pawns of a shadow government all along. Even without mentioning these people, Angela Merkel revealed this truth on the day she stepped down as chancellor of Germany.

Sadly, the corporate greed that made Germany start two World Wars will also bring about a third World War. One that will bring the Anglosphere and Israel to their knees for being very wayward, and will threaten to turn the Earth into a tohu and bohu hellscape where no flesh is saved alive. Thankfully, Christ will come again, and he will free Germany from the corporate greed that brought misery to millions of people worldwide.

In conclusion, Germany's brand of corporate greed should be locked up in prison. Period.

Meet the Original Characters

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the moment you have been waiting for. The Neo Retro Union Original Characters' names have been revealed, and they are going to be introduced in the style of the "Meet the Team" series from Team Fortress 2.

The names of the Neo Retro Union Original Characters are: Red Cap, Major Duncan, Captain Rodney, Oberon, Blondette, Brunetta, Turquoise, Amethyst, Magenta, and Sabriel.

Red Cap: A huge fan of SNK franchises, mostly The King of Fighters and Metal Slug. His main inspiration was Terry Bogard, and he believes that freedom and justice must prevail.

Major Duncan: An Army officer who, like Red Cap, believes that freedom and justice must prevail. Inspired by the heroes of Contra and Metal Slug.

Captain Rodney: A Navy captain who remembers the glory days of naval warfare from 1904 to 1991. He is a friend of Major Duncan, is named after the battleship HMS Rodney, and inspired by Captain Haddock from Tintin.

Oberon: A sailor who serves Captain Rodney. He is named after the submarine HMS Oberon, which in turn was named after the fairy king from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Blondette: A friend of Red Cap who likes magical girls, and believes that freedom and justice must prevail. She was aptly named because of her blonde hair.

Brunetta: Blondette's brunette friend and another friend of Red Cap. Also likes magical girls.

Turquoise: The Matriarch of the Swimming Pool. Her name was due to her turquoise hair. She is friends with Red Cap, Blondette and Brunetta. Another fan of magical girls.

Amethyst: She was named after a semi-precious gemstone due to her purple hair. Loosely based on Gradriel from Princess Crown as well as Crispy Toast Original Character Leilanie. Likes gems because she was named after a gemstone. Likes magical girls as well.

Magenta: Her pink hair makes her a big fan of Rit from Rod Land and Soldam. She used to be afraid of being seen in skimpy swimwear until she met Turquoise. She likes magical girls and her friends include Red Cap, Blondette, Brunetta, Turquoise and Amethyst.

Sabriel: Named after the titular heroine of a Garth Nix novel. Like Blondette, Brunetta, Turquoise, Amethyst and Magenta, she likes magical girls. She misses the glory days that was the 1990s. But so do the other characters.

All of these characters have one thing in common. They believe that the Holy Bible was the greatest instruction manual ever written, and they believe that justice is important. If you want to redraw them as actual human characters, feel free to do so.

Manasseh the Forgetful

In Hebrew, Manasseh means "causing to forget" or "one who forgets". Also, Joseph's son Manasseh was believed to be the ancient progenitor of the American people. The sad part is that the distant descendants of the lost tribe of Manasseh have lost their memory as well. This is very dangerous for America because the United States of America is possibly that great nation that was established by the descendants of Manasseh according to Genesis 48:19.

Half-Life Disappointment

Isn't it disappointing that we will never get Half-Life 2: Episode 3 and Half-Life 3 at all? It gets even more disappointing when you come to the realization that not only was Gordon Freeman not the most important character despite being the player's character, but the most important character, Eli Vance, died at the end of Half-Life 2: Episode 2. With all that said, Steam users would rather hear the disappointing news about Half-Life 3 being cancelled than to be left in the dark over the fate of Half-Life 3. If Half-Life 3's cancellation was confirmed, Steam users will understand, and they can finally go back to their lives. Talk about a huge disappointment.

The Sour Rivalry

America's miraculous victory over Japan in the Pacific Theater of World War 2 would not have been possible if not for the sour rivalry between the Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy. This toxic inter-service rivalry within the Japanese camp allowed America and Britain to pick up the pieces after a string of defeats and hit back with a vengeance. Even after Japan surrendered, the insane rivalry between the Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy continued until the Allies ordered both of them to be disbanded altogether.

In conclusion, do not trust World War 2 Daisenryaku games where you fight as the Empire of Japan against the Allies because the Daisenryaku series does not take into account the leadership dysfunction of any faction.

Voice Actress Audition

Author's Note: Given that I do not own Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, I do not know if the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy production team gave Jenova a voice for that infamous quote where she taunts Cloud by saying "Because, you are... a puppet."

If Jenova had a voice actress, that voice actress would have to make the villainess sound menacing. Currently, the two best choices for Jenova's voice would be to either make her sound like the Evil Queen from the Animated Disney Snow White or to make her sound like a female version of Polygon Man. However, having no set form means it's almost impossible for Jenova to have a voice, which is why everything about Jenova is very unsettling, including her theme...

Emergency Meeting

You thought you were expecting a Saint Patrick's Day comic. But it was a comic about a very important emergency meeting about the Age of Turmoil that got uploaded instead.

Judging by the unlawful lawsuits against Fair Use, the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, the tensions over Korea and Taiwan, and the European Union's bullying of American companies, it is safe to say that the beast that was, but now is not, and yet God says it still is has started to emerge out of the bottomless pit. The sad part is, there will be many casualties because the European Union has been officially exposed by Bernard Connolly to be a "cloak for German Ambitions", and all efforts to fight against the final rise of a warmongering empire will sadly fail because fighting against prophecy is futile.

However, we must remember that it is Jesus Christ's inflexible purpose to destroy German militarism and Nazism and to ensure that Germany will never again be able to disturb the peace of the world. Regardless of all the losses we will suffer during the Great Tribulation, Christ's return will bring about a massive restoration where everything will be rebuilt. But it will not be on the old foundation because all cities through all of human history were founded on the wrong character. Even the calendar we are using is potentially wrong, because the New Year should start on the Spring Equinox. As for those who have wronged us, they will be forced to go through a reeducation program, whether they like it or not.

Fury Against War Criminals

Imagine how outraged the majority of the Japanese people would be if they found out that the reason their country did not repent for war crimes during World War 2 was because of their post-war democracy being originally run by high-profile war criminals that were not punished at all, but were acquitted so that they could be anti-communist allies of the Allied Powers during the Cold War. The fury of the Japanese people will be so great that the Japanese government will tremble before them.

Surely, the majority of the Japanese people want their country to repent of any wrongdoing, and not continue to deny war crimes, if it means making peace between Japan and various Asian countries. But the Japanese government isn't too keen in upholding the freedoms of the Japanese people, and instead impose new laws to suppress the freedoms of the Japanese people. It's only a matter of time before the Japanese people rise up in anger like the angry mob from The Simpsons Movie against the lies and deceit of their own government...

Lack of Repentance

Any German who learns about their country's lack of repentance despite their thousands of apologies are going to have a surprised Pikachu face.

If there is any dirty secret that should alarm everybody, it's Germany's lack of repentance. Niklas Frank has already warned everyone who reads his book "In the Shadow of the Reich" that post-war Germany did not repent at all. This is a terrifying reality, not just to the German people, but to all of Germany's future enemies in the coming World War 3. This includes the Anglosphere, Israel, Russia and China. Maybe Germany should spend more time repenting and less time on hating Donald Trump because Donald Trump has seen the real truth about Germany's deceitful lack of honesty. But no. Germany isn't called the nation of the "deceiver people" for no reason. It doesn't have a little deceit. It is full of it. Germany has blackmailed everyone in regards to the country being penitent, and the Anglosphere was deceived into believing that Germany has atoned, when in reality Germany has never repented of their misdeeds in World War 2. That's why Russia, China, and everyone else who are on their side are furious right now. They are upset about Germany's deceit, and it will lead to the worst conflict you can ever imagine...

Swimming Pool Matriarch Visual Gag Variations 5

Author's Note: This is the first Matriarch of the Swimming Pool comic since Neo Retro Union started its Bluesky account.

Did you know that Japanese copyright law did not incorporate Fair Use? If you have found out about this, good job. You have found out why Nintendo, Square Enix and Toei have been copystriking so-called "rogue" fans for alleged acts of copyright infringement.

Speaking of Japan, it turns out there was no repentance for all the war crimes committed in World War 2 because many of Japan's war criminals were never punished. That's why the Japanese government can deny war crimes and get away with it. It gets even worse when you find out that there was no repentance in Germany as well. If it's revealed that many aspects of post-war Germany, including copyright management authorities, were influenced, dominated and administered according to the will of National Socialism, all I can say about modern Germany is "Democracy Über Alles, my foot".

In Dragon Quest VI, Ashlynn and Milly both commented about the angel leotard, which is known for increasing the wearer's resistance against instant death spells. Ashlynn says that the angel leotard is more of Milly's style, while Milly says that the angel leotard suits Ashlynn better than her. But true Dragon Quest fans say the angel leotard looks good on both of them.

With the deaths of Koichi Sugiyama and Akira Toriyama, Dragon Quest XII could possibly be the last Dragon Quest game. It's unknown if Yuji Horii will retire to honor the memories of the dead men after the launch of Dragon Quest XII.

When Rooster Teeth launched Red Vs Blue, there was no MySpace because MySpace was launched on 1 August 2003, while the first episode of Red Vs Blue came out on 1 April 2003.

When Vimeo was established, there was no YouTube because Vimeo's establishment was in November 2004, while YouTube was launched on 14 February 2005.

The Melancholy of 2024

2024 is turning into yet another Annus Horribilis. The earthquake that happened in Japan on the first day of 2024, followed by a runway collision at Haneda Airport that killed five Coast Guard officers in the line of duty was already bad enough. Funimation being assimilated into Crunchyroll made things worse. And now, Warner Bros is disbanding Rooster Teeth because they are no longer profitable. But the real deal has to be the death of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, whose other works included Dr Slump, as well as artwork contributions to Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger and Blue Dragon.

Akira Toriyama died on the 1st of March, 2024. But his obituary was revealed seven days later. Japan is like a tortoise when it comes to announcements about several high-profile obituaries. Now that Akira Toriyama is dead like Koichi Sugiyama, who died in 2021, expect Koichi Sugiyama and Akira Toriyama to appear in the "In Memory of" section of the Dragon Quest XII credits.

When Red Vs Blue first came out, there was no YouTube, let alone no MySpace. Now that Rooster Teeth is disbanding due to lack of profitability, the fate of the final season is looking uncertain. Hopefully Phil Spencer will acquire the rights to Red Vs Blue because this web series was based on Microsoft's Halo franchise. Then Red Vs Blue can have the poetic ending it finally deserves.

If 2024 is the year our childhood starts dying, then we probably need to let go of zeitgeist nostalgia, because Isaiah 43:18-19 says that we should forget the former things and not dwell on the past because God is doing a new thing by making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Given that the turmoil that began in 2020 is going to get worse in the coming days, Isaiah 43:18-19 is going to be even more relevant now than ever before. To quote Dr Strange in Avengers: Infinity War, "We are in the Endgame now."

Farewell Akira Toriyama, and thanks for all the Kamehamehas, Fusion Dances and Dragon Quest Slimes.

When Truth Gets Blocked...

As much as I want to show my support for people who hate copyright trolls and AI, sharing conspiracy theories about the European Union's nefarious plans to weaponize AI and the European Union's corrupt bureaucrats secretly giving instructions to copyright trolls to issue false copyright claims against Fair Use got me blocked by some of the people who I wish to befriend on Bluesky because they are not ready to hear my truth.

If you are reading this, please learn from my mistakes and do not share conspiracy theories with anyone who is not ready to hear the truth because they will block you as well for knowing too much.

Not-So-Friendly Bluesky

Sorry for not uploading any new comics on this blog. I was busy with reuploading them on my new Bluesky account. You might want to check it out here.

While Bluesky is a great alternative to Twitter X, it may not be as great as you think. Given that it was made by Twitter creator Jack Dorsey, you can expect things in Bluesky to become toxic within the first year after opening its doors to the public. Especially when there's a rivalry between right-wing trolls and left-wing trolls, and Bluesky users have been told to block both of them.

Then there's the sharing of conspiracy theories that some Bluesky users do not want to hear. This results in the Bluesky user who shares conspiracy theories about the European Union's nefarious plans to weaponize AI getting blocked by other Bluesky users, even though this conspiracy theory is one that is anti-AI. This was the mistake that I made that got me blocked by a few Bluesky users. If you want to have a good and happy experience on Bluesky, please avoid making the mistakes that I made when I started jumping on the Bluesky bandwagon.

So if you think Bluesky is worse than X, Gettr, or Gab, the sad truth is, we are running out of choices. Unless you decide to jump on the Nostr bandwagon, but it will not be the same as jumping on the Bluesky bandwagon, though.

At The Mercy Of Tribulation

Even Mr Krabs and Patrick know that the Great Tribulation will be a very depressing time that is drawing near because they are going to perish during the Day of the Lord just like the sea creatures that died in the trumpet and bowl judgments.

According to the Trumpet magazine, the Western Hemisphere will come under the tyranny of the Abomination of Desolation that is prophesied to burn Jerusalem to the ground while the Eastern Hemisphere will be under the iron grip of rogue dictators that despise democracy. This means South Korea and Taiwan will probably be conquered by autocratic warmongers during the terrible three and a half years of the Great Tribulation. The worst part, however, is when the Abomination of Desolation and the rogue dictators fight against each other before turning their weapons on Christ's Second Coming in a desperate last-ditch attempt to thwart God's Plan to take back the Earth, because if Christ does not cut short the Great Tribulation, no flesh will be saved alive. In other words, this Earth is not God's World until Christ returns.

Angry Sakura, Happy Sakura

Blame Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle for making Masahiro Sakurai and Nintendo disallow characters who did not originate from video games.

You do know that Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura is ineligible for Nintendo's Super Smash Bros, but I do wish she was eligible. After all, she made a cameo in the Pokemon TV series, and she also had her own edition Game Boy Color.

Then again, due to the events of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle being responsible for Sakura Kinomoto's magical girl escapades, it would be better for Sakura Kinomoto to stay out of the Super Smash Bros series because Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle is far more confusing than Kingdom Hearts. And let's not get started on Fei Wong Reed's Death Seal...

Digital Footprint Erasure

What if the legacies we leave behind on the World Wide Web were not designed to withstand the test of time? That is sadly the case with GeoCities and MySpace, and possibly Facebook and Blogspot.

Back in the glory days of GeoCities, Blogspot, WordPress, MySpace, Facebook and too many others to count, Internet privacy was not a serious issue. But those days are long gone, and netizens are resorting to various means to take back their privacy, even if it means erasing their Internet legacies. After all, cybercrimes are on the rise, and large data breaches pose a severe threat. That could explain why Google came up with the crazy idea of purging inactive Google Accounts.

If there is anything that will survive the end of this cruel Age, It will be the Word of God. At the end of the day, Internet legacies are temporary, but the Word of God is forever.

Great Swedish Fighter Jets that did not fight in a war

Sweden. A great country from Northern Europe known for Ikea, Volvo, Scania, Minecraft, and tasty meatballs. It was also a Great Power in military terms. From Vikings and Caroleans to army personnel armed with Carl Gustaf m/45 submachine guns, Sweden made its mark on military history, and is one of the countries featured in Daisenryaku. But the days of Swedish military might may have been long gone, although aircraft manufacturer Saab continues to manufacture Gripen jet fighters for various customers.

Speaking of fighter jets made by Saab, the Lansen, Draken and Viggen did not see any combat action throughout their operational service in the Swedish Air Force, or in the Draken's case, any air force that operates them, namely Denmark, Finland and Austria. Maybe it's because Soviet Russia's Ministry of Defence had almost no interest in conquering Europe, which is actually a good thing given what is happening in Ukraine right now...

Despite having seen no action in a war zone, the Lansen's infamous safety record may have made this Swedish jet fighter a worthy opponent to the F-104 Starfighter in terms of having a bad safety record of plane crashes that were due to accidents. In fact, air accidents account for the loss of a third of all Lansens built in its production history. But we shouldn't talk about the dubious safety record of the Starfighter and the Lansen.

The Draken had more operators than the Lansen or Viggen, and there was a proposal to sell export versions of the aircraft to the Republic of Singapore Air Force. But it was unsuccessful, though. However, the Draken did see operational service in the air forces of Denmark, Finland and Austria, with the Austrian Drakens being retired in 2005.

The Viggen was known for the blocked export attempt to India. The reason the United States blocked the proposed export of the Viggen to India was because India could secretly share Western military secrets with Soviet Russia. This resulted in the Indian Air Force purchasing the SEPECAT Jaguar instead.

Because of Soviet Russia's lack of interest in conquering Europe during the Cold War, as well as Swedish military equipment rarely getting exported, many of Sweden's military hardware did not get to fire a shot in anger. But in military-themed video games such as War Thunder, the Lansens, Drakens and Viggens that did not get to fight in a real war do get to open fire on enemies. Guess staying neutral isn't all that great after all...

Good Advice from the Lake Panzer 3

In a world that had been a battleground between God and the Devilish One for nearly 6000 years, neutrality is not an option. In fact, neutrality will perish during the Great Tribulation, which will last 42 months before the end of this cruel Age of man's misrule over the Earth.

For Switzerland, renouncing neutrality will be a very difficult decision. But when the Great Tribulation begins, there will be no room for neutrality. This means Switzerland will not be neutral when the Great Tribulation begins. In other words, when this cruel Age ends, there will be no more neutrality because God will rule the Earth with a rod of iron while the Devilish One is locked up in the Bottomless Pit for 1000 years.

Good Advice from the Lake Panzer 2

Even the Lake Panzer knows that communists hate Walt Disney for the purge he carried out.

When Walt Disney fired half of his workforce for being leftists in 1947, we would like to think communists would have taken the polite hint about Walt's purge. The humiliation that the leftists had to suffer was so unforgivable that they hate Walt Disney for what he did to them.

Now the leftists are running Disney, and Walt would be unduly upset if he was alive today...

Stab The Jerk 4

If Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, and Game Freak does not punish Professor Oak's grandsons Blue and Gary for all the wrongs they did to Red and Ash, then I will have to punish both of them myself. Especially when Gary did not get any comeuppance by the time Ash's Journey ended.

You may think stabbing arrogant jerks dead for humiliating intellectually disabled protagonists would be too morbid, but giving such people a brutal comeuppance would have been my kind of justice. That's why Blue and Gary are being stabbed to death with Mithril Longswords, Adamant Longswords and Rune Longswords from Old School Runescape.

Then again, a comic by Sam Carr that used to be on DeviantArt before he deactivated his account featuring Ash having regrets over the death of his original nemesis Gary proves that Ash is pathetic. How can he feel sorry for the person who bullied him after said bully was slain in front of him by those who demand justice?

Perhaps the only true winners from Gary's death will be those who want justice for mentally ill illiterates. At the end of the day, the leftists did win after all...

Moral Defeat

We have heard about moral victory, where the loser gets praised for standing up for their values. But almost nobody has heard about moral defeat. A good example of a moral defeat would be the Winter War, where Soviet Russia did win that conflict eventually, but Finland won the moral victory that got the praise from Western countries, including Germany.

Speaking of moral victories and moral defeats, with the official conclusion of Ash Ketchum's journey, any arrogant jerk who has wronged the born loser who became Pokemon World Champion might have just been given a moral defeat that they refuse to acknowledge despite not getting any comeuppance whatsoever the moment Ash comes to his realization that the only way to become a Pokemon Master is to befriend all the Pokemon.

The concept of moral defeat only became more popular when a meme featuring Wario in his losing pose from Mario Party 8 about winning at unknown costs was posted on the Internet. Since then, moral defeats have complemented moral victories.

Now imagine the moral defeats the rogue dictators will have when they conquer the renegade provinces that we call South Korea and Taiwan. While such rogue dictators are terrifying right now, their biggest nemesis will be the Abomination of Desolation that is prophesied to raze Jerusalem to rubble and devour the Earth, because they will have to confront it during the Day of the Lord. However, the Abomination of Desolation and the rogue dictators will team up to fight against the King of Kings. The end result will be the Beast and the False Prophet thrown into the Lake of Hellfire, while the remaining tyrants and their legions get obliterated. As for those who had been slaughtered or taken prisoner by these tyrannical dictators, their moral victory will be greatly rewarded by the King of Kings because the surviving prisoners chose to repent while in prison.
