A Beacon Of Hope Amid Traumas

Who would have thought Nintendo launched Super Mario Bros during the turbulent times when Japan was grieving from the worst single-aircraft accident in aviation history and North America was still reeling from the 1983 Video Game Crash?

Did you know that Nintendo's Super Mario Bros was released during a time when Japan was in a period of mourning? The game that gave us Goombas, Warp Pipes, Super Mushrooms and Fire Flowers was released 32 days after the Japan Airlines Flight 123 Crash that resulted from an improper tailstrike repair procedure in 1978. The launch of Super Mario Bros could not have come at a time when Japan and North America were going through periods of severe trauma...

Happy 40th Anniversary, Super Mario Bros!

Super Mario Bros © Nintendo.

In Loving Memory of Maru the Cat

Sad news for all who love to watch cat videos on YouTube. Maru the Cat died on the 6th of September, 2025. With his death, a glorious era of cat videos rides into the sunset.

Since his birth in 2007, Maru the Cat has always been with us even in the darkest of times such as the 2011 East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami as well as the plague year that was 2020. Throughout his entire life, he proved that claustrophobia is not in his vocabulary by stuffing himself into tiny cardboard boxes. This made his cat videos so popular that he was listed on the Guinness World Records for being the most watched cat on YouTube in 2016.

Farewell, Maru. You were the very definition of the "If I fits, I sits" meme before it became mainstream.

Swordtember 2025 (Part 1)

Hey, folks! I have decided to jump on board the Swordtember bandwagon, so here is a comic about swords.

Remember that comic about the Glass Swords from Uncle Grandpa? Well, the Glass Sword returns for a mandatory Swordtember comic, and this time, it does not get broken.

Do you still remember the sword from the original RuneScape logo? If you still remember it from the early days of RuneScape, then you have nostalgia for a bygone era!

Did you know that bronze turns green after oxidation? This process creates a protective layer called a patina, which protects the underlying metal from further corrosion.

The Forgotten Jaleco Logo

Did you know that Jaleco had a red logo from 2010 until Game Yarou's bankruptcy in 2014? It only appeared on the box art of WiZmans World for the Nintendo DS, and in a trailer for a port of Rod Land that DotEmu made for iOS. This version of the Jaleco logo was very obscure because WiZmans World never left Japan, and the iOS port of Rod Land was so mediocre that it was better off all but forgotten, just like some of the below average ports Rod Land had in the early 1990s.

Sadly, the red logo Jaleco had during the company's final years was all but forgotten because it became a reminder of Jaleco's last days before Game Yarou went bankrupt due to the ¥700000000 debt it took from Encom Holdings when it acquired Jaleco from them. The huge debt proved to be far too much for Game Yarou to repay, and they ended up having to file for bankruptcy in 2014 as a result. This in turn led to City Connection, a company named after one of Jaleco's games, acquiring Jaleco's IPs, including WiZmans World. City Connection gave WiZmans World a HD remaster, and the game was re-released in Japan in 2025 as WiZmans World Re;Try.

They Never Surrendered...

Today marks the 80th Anniversary of Japan signing the surrender papers that officially ended World War 2. However, the real truth about the Japanese surrender has been revealed. Yet we chose to deny that truth for the past 80 years because we did not want to be confrontational...

Contrary to popular belief, nowhere was the word "surrender" mentioned in the Japanese surrender message that ended World War 2. This explains why the rogue tyrants that dislike us a lot are very angry right now, as well as why major Japanese copyright holders such as Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony and Toei are waging copyright lawfare against Fair Use, the lack of justice in anime and manga (I'm looking at you, Pokemon!), and the bullying that has rarely been punished, if at all. This can only mean one thing.

Japan never really surrendered despite signing the surrender papers that ended World War 2...

Sometimes I wonder if my love for Japanese pop culture is gone. Perhaps it's because I believe that justice can only be done if evildoers receive the ultimate comeuppance, and anime has rarely ended with true justice prevailing at the end. Maybe it's time for us to sacrifice our nostalgia for the glorious past if we want to create a brighter future where justice prevails and true harmony is a reality...

Dropping Like Flies

The deaths of Connie Francis and Hulk Hogan came at a time when our world is going through a period of turbulence and turmoil. With bad news coming faster than hypersonic missiles, looks like 2025 is turning out to be another Annus Horribilis...

Connie Francis was best known for the song "Where The Boys Are", which has been associated with being the theme song of the film "Where The Boys Are". This made Connie Francis the voice of a generation and the soundtrack of post-war America. Unfortunately, her later years were very unkind to her. In 1974, she was almost killed by an assault incident. Then in 1981, her brother was assassinated for standing up against organized crime. Despite several comebacks and winning a lawsuit that resulted in tougher hotel security, Connie Francis had to do battle against depression until her death on the 16th of July, 2025. Not to mention that she revealed her truth about the entertainment industry several months before her death...

Hulk Hogan (Real Name: Terry Bollea) is a wrestler who needs no introduction whatsoever. During the 2024 US Presidential Election Campaign, this WWE Hall of Famer called for the restoration of Donald Trump to the White House, which actually happened as a result of Donald Trump winning the 2024 US Presidential Election, resulting in Donald Trump beginning his Grover Cleveland Arc. Unfortunately, several months after the start of Donald Trump's Grover Cleveland Arc, Hulk Hogan died from a heart attack on the 24th of July, 2025, and WWE fans were left in mourning as a result.

With all that said, time is short, and it serves as a reminder of the fragility of life itself. At least Connie Francis is now in a better place just like Shelley Duvall.

A Tale of Two South-East Asian Democracies

Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic go to their respective owners.

Yesterday marked the 80th Anniversary of Indonesia's independence from the Netherlands. However, the run-up to this special milestone was filled with protests against President Prabowo Subianto's austerity measures and the decline of democracy in Indonesia. One method used by the protesters was flying the Straw Hat Pirates flag from the anime series One Piece, which tells the story of Monkey D Luffy and his friends doing battle against rival pirates and corrupt authorities. This protest method was started by truckers who feel that the austerity measures are doing more harm to the working class. It proved to be so popular that some of the Indonesian authorities consider this method of protest an act of treason that threatens to divide the country.

Contrast this with Singapore's Housing Development Board (HDB) getting a Sega license to have Sonic celebrate SG60 with Sonic's Golden Ring Rush in 18 different malls in the run-up to the special National Day commemorating the 60th anniversary of Singapore becoming a sovereign nation-state. This is a huge win for Sega as far as their presence in Singapore is concerned.

At the end of the day, if you want to celebrate a milestone Independence Anniversary, making the people happy is far more important than you think.

Kick The Noob

Characters kicking the RuneScape Noob in this comic: Sakura Kinomoto (Red Cape Leotard) (Cardcaptor Sakura), Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Tyris Flare (Golden Axe), Volcana (Ultra Vortek).

I do not have any grudges against the RuneScape Noob in this comic. It's just that he may have been a bot user in disguise, and bots have been a big nuisance as far as legitimate RuneScape players are concerned.

From Albion To Santiago

Author's Note: Albion is another name for the United Kingdom, while Santiago is the capital city of Chile, hence the name of this comic.

Fun Fact: The United Kingdom sold two warships named HMS Norfolk to Chile. The first one (D21) was a County-class destroyer, and the second one (F230) was a Type 23 frigate. The former was renamed to Capitán Prat (DLH-11), and was decommissioned in 2006 and subsequently scrapped two years later, while the latter was renamed to Almirante Cochrane (FF-05), and is still in active service with Chile as at the time of this comic being uploaded.

Tragic Backstory Origins

Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic go to their respective owners.

Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the Japan Airlines Flight 123 tragedy that has left enormous scars to this very day. With 520 fatalities, it still remains the worst single-plane crash in aviation history.

It may have been possible that Sailor Moon author Naoko Takeuchi drew inspiration from the Japan Airlines Flight 123 crash for the tragic backstory revolving around the death of Makoto Kino's parents in a plane crash. This may not be true, but we still do not know yet.

SG60

Can you believe it's been 60 years since Singapore was ejected out of Malaysia? What began as one man's day of anguish became a day synonymous with true independence. Since then, we have been celebrating that very day.

Happy 60th National Day!

Heroes and Heroines against Autocracy 2

Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic, including fan art, go to their respective owners.

Remember the previous comic about various heroes and heroines who would rise up to take down an alliance between fascism and communism? Here is another set of heroes and heroines that would oppose an alliance between fascism and communism.

Would Spelunker, Dirk The Daring, Shovel Knight, Peppino Spaghetti, Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, Yuko Asou and Roche go into hyper-rage mode if they were to oppose an alliance between fascism and communism? Yes, they will. And anyone who dares to oppose these heroes and heroines are only begging for death, especially when Peppino going into hyper-rage mode is the last thing villains want to have coming at them...

Heroes and Heroines against Autocracy

Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic, including fan art, go to their respective owners.

In the face of rising tyranny, some people must rise up to take down these dark forces. Various heroes and heroines have answered the call to fight against autocracy.

Would Rit, Tam, Hammerin' Harry, Gonbe, Wynn, Lucia and Hebereke go into hyper-rage mode if they were to oppose an alliance between fascism and communism? Yes, they will. And these heroes and heroines will destroy any villain that gets in their way. With these heroes and heroines, who needs the Avengers and the Justice League?

Hiroshima 80th Anniversary

Can you believe it's been 80 years since Hiroshima was demolished by an enormous explosion? That's right. Today marks the 80th Anniversary of the Hiroshima Atomic Bombings. An event so colossal that it forever changed our way of life.

Sad as it is, rogue tyrants are threatening to unleash "Nuclear Armageddon" upon the Earth, under the misguided belief that their nuclear bombs could help them take over the world. If the Bible prophecies were any indication, the "Nuclear Armageddon" that we have all feared is going to be caused by a rivalry between fascism and communism, and this rivalry is threatening to leave no flesh saved alive and render the Earth void and without form, which is why Jesus Christ needs to return to end the madness by making the tyrants and terrorists die in the same manner as the villains from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

All in all, may those who have perished in the enormous explosion in 1945 rest in peace...

Three Red Buzzers, You're Out!

Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic go to their respective owners.

There are many participants who got three red buzzers in The X Factor, and these characters are no exception. But there are real reasons these characters deserve to get three red buzzers.

Squidward has virtually no talent in regards to his clarinet skills. In fact, his clarinet music is so horrible that it would drive deaf people crazy.

Bubsy's catchphrase of "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?" is the very definition of self-fulfilling prophecy. Defeatism at its very worst, and it doesn't help that anything will go wrong even if it's not in the first place...

Awesome Possum is not so awesome because environmentalism has failed those who have sought to rein in environmental degradation. Even Bubsy could win against Awesome Possum, if given the chance...

Glass Joe is pathetic. He is definitely France's biggest disgrace. Even Dan Hibiki, who is considered the most pathetic character in the history of the Street Fighter series, would easily defeat this loser.

Spelunker is the weakest action hero in the history of video games because falling several pixels of height is more than enough to make Spelunker lose a life. At least he does not have to fall into Black Holes unlike Wynn from Mystery of Atlantis, who clearly does not die from falling several pixels of height. Unfortunately, Mystery of Atlantis does not even have any map to help Wynn avoid the Black Holes, and the game has no passwords or continues.

With all that said, some people are better off not showing up for the X Factor at all...

Proposed New Logos

Ladies and gentlemen, Neo Retro Union is about to unveil its official logo. Here are just three proposed designs that I came up with for the Neo Retro Union logo. Keep in mind that these new logos are just interim designs for the time being.

Which of these three logos should be the official logo? The choice is yours.

Prohibited By Tribulation

How bad will the Great Tribulation be? Not only will the preaching of the true gospel be illegal in all parts of the Earth, VPNs and fair use of copyrighted content will also be forbidden as well. This in turn will lead to the true demise of Internet Archive, which had been targeted by lawsuits in recent years for violating copyright law. To make matters worse, the tyrannical regime of the Beast of Revelation 13 will forbid anyone who does not have his mark from engaging in business and commerce. In other words, free market commerce will cease to exist during the Great Tribulation. So much for all the attempts to resurrect the Roman Empire. Looks like the bad dream of Daniel 7 is actually real after all...

Weak Rebars

Imagine steel rebars that are so weak that even a 60-year-old man bending it will end up looking more like the Incredible Hulk...

Low quality products such as rebars made from poor quality steel have no place in today's construction industry. Unfortunately, that is not the case in China because of corruption. Such cases of complaints about low quality rebars will always be a huge problem until the corruption is purged from China's steel and construction industry.

Bullet-Resistant Power Armour

Power armour is meant to be stylish and protect the wearer at the same time, and the female armour from Mario Strikers Charged is no exception.

While the female attire in Mario Strikers Charged comprises of an armoured crop top that exposes the midriff and a pair of short shorts that looks more like a pair of boyshorts knickers, the breastplate being bullet-resistant is what matters most because the wearer will be subjected to getting smacked a lot, including getting smacked into an electric fence. At least the armour isn't brittle or fragile, unlike the Ghosts'n Goblins armour...

Solitaire Online

Let's face it. A Solitaire MMO will never happen because the servers for a Solitaire MMO will only be able to have a capacity of one player per server. This in turn will lead to many servers being full to the point there are barely any empty servers. Who knows, this could be the only MMO where all the servers are full...

Still Rejected After 25 Years

Can you believe it's been 25 years since Waluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis? Unfortunately for this purple guy, all he gets is nothing but rejection. Whether it's getting his very own game, or his own set of microgames in the WarioWare series, or even a playable character slot in the Super Smash Bros series, Waluigi is never getting any of them.

No wonder the sad cat that promised not to cry is weeping. Looks like Waluigi is destined to be the eternal reject who can only wallow in self-pity until the end of time itself...

Wearing It Better 2

Swimsuits worn by my OC Turquoise in this comic, from left to right: Zelda's pink swimsuit from "Fairies In The Spring" (The Legend of Zelda TV series), Kagome's swimsuit from "The Toad Who Would Be Prince" (Inuyasha), Squid Girl's swimsuit (Squid Girl).

Author's Note: Turquoise is once again in another comic inspired by the "Who Wore It Better?" meme. This time, it's about swimsuits from various franchises.

There is just one instance of Zelda wearing a swimsuit, and that was in the Legend of Zelda TV series episode "Fairies In The Spring". This was also the only time where The Legend of Zelda series had a water park episode, which will be the closest this franchise will get to a beach episode.

But The Legend of Zelda series isn't the only case of a major female character wearing a swimsuit for one instance in official canon. At the start of the Inuyasha episode "The Toad Who Would Be Prince", we get to see Kagome swimming in a lake in her yellow and orange striped swimsuit. But that will be the only time we get to see Kagome in swimwear.

In contrast, Squid Girl gets to wear her white swimsuit on far more occasions, which makes far more sense due to the premise of Squid Girl being set in a town located near the sea.

If Turquoise were to wear any of these swimsuits, did she wear them better?

Warrior Swimsuit

In the 1986 Sunsoft game The Wing of Madoola, the game's heroine Lucia is wearing what appears to be a warrior swimsuit. This evidence is supported by the box art.

If you wanted to know what Lucia's warrior swimsuit looks like without the armor, it makes her look like she is Sunsoft's answer to Wonder Woman.

Sad Realizations About The Grim Future

Author's Note: This comic is my lawyer-friendly, royalty-free version of the "I promise I won't cry" meme, where one of the most popular variations of this meme involves a sad cat.

Bad news, folks. Before the end of this cruel Age, a Great Tribulation where the nefarious forces that want fair use and fair dealing gone is coming, and it will have the true gospel banned from being preached anywhere. However, the good news is that these nefarious forces will all meet their doom when they make the fatal mistake of going on a warpath against the return of Jesus Christ.

Slated For Execution By Guillotine

Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic go to their respective owners.

Between Squilliam Fancyson, Gargamel and Kyubey, all three should be executed by guillotine.

Squilliam was responsible for Squidward having a miserable life in the first place. While Squidward is anything but talented, this is no excuse for Squilliam to belittle him. If there is anybody from the SpongeBob SquarePants series that deserves death even more than Plankton, it has to be Squilliam Fancyson.

Gargamel has always wanted to get the Smurfs dead at all cost. Therefore, this evil wizard should be executed for being a genocidal maniac wannabe.

Kyubey has deceived countless teenage girls into making bad contracts that ultimately cost them their souls. Therefore, Kyubey does not deserve any sympathy at all.

Smacked By Rune Warhammers

Characters that are about to get smacked by an Old School RuneScape Rune Warhammer wielded by a Rabbid from the Rabbids series, from left to right: Toad (Super Mario Bros), Crazy Redd (Animal Crossing), Louie (Pikmin), Mugger (RuneScape), Buddy (Kick the Buddy).

It's possible that the Toads from Super Mario Bros are a far greater threat than all of the Koopa Troop's ringleaders combined because of whatever parasites they could have been harbouring since 1985. And to think that telling us that Princess Peach is in another castle was the worst thing Toad did to the Mario fans...

Animal Crossing fans have always made no secret of their disdain for Crazy Redd and his many scams. It's a pity we don't even get to give him any comeuppance whatsoever...

I'm very sure Louie was the true antagonist of the Pikmin series right from the start, if Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4 were anything...

Muggers should die over 9000 times for terrorizing millions of RuneScape players. Period.

Buddy from Kick the Buddy was always destined to get beaten up many times over, and a Rabbid smacking him with a Rune Warhammer is just one of those methods of beating up Buddy...

With all that said, I would feel sorry for Buddy from Kick the Buddy. As for all the other characters that are about to get smacked by a Rabbid wielding a Rune Warhammer, they all deserved to get destroyed by the Rabbid, and I do not feel sorry for them.

Humiliated By PSG

While hype is building up for the 2025 Club World Cup Final, let us not forget about how Champions League Winners Paris Saint-Germain humiliated Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid by defeating both teams 4-0 in the 2025 Club World Cup.

Justice for Hikikomori

It's possible that the late Takeshi Shudo's proposed series finale for the Pokemon TV series would have revealed that the entire series was a dying dream and Ash "Satoshi" Ketchum was a hikikomori all along.

Who are the Hikikomori? They are individuals who have separated themselves from society. Although the Japanese government have recently decided to take action to help the hikikomori to come out of reclusive isolation in a desperate bid to counter the negative effects of Japan's aging and declining population, that helping hand may have come too little, too late. Maybe a society that demands conformity in order to achieve harmony was a bad idea from the start all along. True harmony can only be achieved in a society that is built on justice.

The Most American of American Automobiles

If there is any automobile manufacturer from the United States that is the most American of all, it has to be Chevrolet. And no other Chevy defines America even more than the Corvette and the Camaro.

While the Chevrolet Camaro is very American by American automobile standards, the Chevrolet Corvette is by far the most American Chevy because it has been around since 1953, while the Camaro debuted 13 years later.

On a related note, Happy 4th of July to all my American fans.

Unable To Play Bad Apple

Bad Apple is the music video equivalent of all those wacky ports of the original Doom. However, there are some platforms that are totally unable to play this music video from the Touhou series. One of them is the Casio Loopy, and there's a good reason for that. Despite having more processing power than many platforms such as the Commodore C64, the NEC PC-6601, the NES, or even a calculator (audio only), the Casio Loopy is not the kind of platform for a tech demo. Instead, the Casio Loopy was designed to cater to young girls and non-gamers, and the games were more for printing custom stickers.

TL;DR, not everything was designed to play fan-made tech demos such as Bad Apple or those wacky ports of the original Doom...

Lactose Intolerant Hedgehogs

I'm very sure Sega didn't tell us that Sonic is lactose intolerant like real life hedgehogs.

Thinking of other things other than other ladies 3

Hey, guys. I'm back with yet another comic about my OCs in a lawyer-friendly version of the "Thinking about other women" meme.

Hebereke is a penguin, and therefore, Sunsoft would have paid his salaries in sardines and anchovies because penguins eat sardines and anchovies.

While Tectoy was known for being Brazil's distributor of Sega consoles such as the Sega Master System and the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, what we do not know is that Tectoy was also the distributor of a forgotten console called the Zeebo. Unfortunately, the Zeebo was not a commercial success due to a limited game library, with all of them being digital-only. Of course the Zeebo failed to overtake the Sega Master System and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in Brazil.

Wollongong is definitely overlooked as far as Australian tourism is concerned. It's just 80 kilometers south of Sydney, and yet more people prefer the well known parts of Australia.

I'm very sure the Invention Skill started an arms race in RuneScape. Since its release, many players aimed for 200 million experience points in the Invention Skill.

Given that zombies are a recurring enemy in the Castlevania series, the Belmont family would definitely dislike the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies.

I'm very sure Crazy Dave from Plants Vs Zombies would end up doing well as a shopkeeper in RuneScape.

Programmed Sentience

R.O.B. the NES Robot was initially an additional accessory for the NES specially designed for Gyromite and Stack-Up, and was therefore not sentient. However, all of that changed with the release of Mario Kart DS in 2005. Nintendo had to reprogram it to have sentience in order to make it a playable character in that handheld racing game. The sentience R.O.B. was programmed with carried on into the Super Smash Bros series starting with Super Smash Bros Brawl. Not bad for a robotic accessory that was specially designed for playing two NES games.

A Ghost Town Named Neo Tiew

If there was any part of Singapore that carries the title of "ghost town", it has to be Neo Tiew Estate. The entire area was en-bloc in 2002, with the residents moved to Jurong West. Since then, the estate is currently used by the Singapore Armed Forces for FIBUA (Fighting in Built-Up Areas) training.

Opinions on Sukumizu Inklings

I'm very sure the female Inklings from the Splatoon series would love to wear the school swimsuit worn by Ushio Kofune from Summer Time Rendering. The biggest problem, however, is that the Inklings are severely hydrophobic. This explains why you don't get to see Inklings in swimwear outside of Splatoon fan art.

Sukumizu Daioh Rendering

Go figure that the sukumizu school swimsuits from Azumanga Daioh and Summer Time Rendering bear strong resemblances to conventional one-piece swimsuits unlike the average Anime sukumizu school swimsuit.

Taegeuk Amulet

Remember that comic where Ash Ketchum's original nemesis Gary Oak was stabbed by fascist and communist bayonets? What if it turns out that Gary Oak's Taegeuk amulet was originally supposed to be red and blue? If that is true, then it's possible that the Pokemon TV series production team could have changed it to yellow and green to avoid getting into trouble with South Korea.

Lack of Sentience

If there was any reason Jenova made zero appearances in Wooden Plank Studios (including Patreon-exclusive bonus panels) by the time that webcomic had its final curtain call on 9 July 2024, it would have to be Jenova having no sentience whatsoever, unlike Kirby, Mystique, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Polygon Man, Dr Wily's Robot Masters, Ultimecia, Kuja, the Chimera aliens from Sony's Resistance series, Tabuu and Galeem.

Suited For The Ice Buckets

Can we all agree that one-piece swimsuits are better than two-piece swimsuits when it comes to the Ice Bucket Challenge?

Mario And Italian Cuisine

Not only does Mario like spaghetti, he also likes lasagna and risotto as well. It's just that lasagna and risotto will never overtake Mario's love for spaghetti.

Unsuitable for Navy Service

Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic go to their respective owners.

There are some characters who should keep their distance away from serving in the Navy. Here are some characters who I think should have no part in anyone's navy at all.

Aqua from Konosuba is irresponsible, easily distracted and whines a lot despite being a goddess.

Doremi Harukaze is notoriously clumsy and has often had a lot of mishaps.

Wile E Coyote is a failure in many ways possible. That's why he gets rejected. Nuff said.

Dan Hibiki is far too incompetent for the Navy, that's for sure.

Bubsy would end up making terrible decisions. What could possibly go wrong for Bubsy if he was in the Navy? If Bubsy was in a naval battle, he would be fish food.

Awesome Possum's environmentalist messages will only be greeted with enemy fire if he was in a naval battle.

Captain Bad Advice's name says it all. Nothing more, nothing less.

With all that said, if you were a recruiter, you would have told these navy recruit wannabes that they are unqualified for the Navy.

RuneScape Father's Day Gifts

Today is Father's Day, which means it's that time of the year where people honor their fathers. What better way to honor this special day than with a comic about Father's Day gifts?

If RuneScape players could give Father's Day gifts to their fathers, amulets of strength, anti-dragon shields and silver bolts would have been among those items.

1955 Le Mans Tragedy 70 Years On

Author's Note: This comic pays homage to the cover of the September 1955 issue of the Road & Track motoring magazine, with the 1955 Le Mans Tragedy being the main feature in that particular issue. The Mercedes-Benz logo on the red arrow symbolizes Pierre Levegh's Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, while the 84 coffins on the blue stripe represents the 84 people who died in the 1955 Le Mans Tragedy, including Pierre Levegh.

It's been 70 years since the worst automobile accident in history. The 1955 Le Mans Tragedy claimed the lives of Pierre Levegh and 83 spectators. As a result, circuit racing was prohibited in Switzerland until 2022, while Mercedes-Benz went into self-imposed exile from Formula 1 until 2010. The most depressing part is that this tragedy was never even turned into a "Seconds from Disaster" episode. If it was, it would have given motoring accidents more attention.

Shellfish Rejection

If the seafood consumption guidelines in Leviticus 11:9-12 and Deuteronomy 14:9-10 were any indication, we should not be eating shrimps and lobsters at all because God knew about the potential health risks that come from shellfish consumption.

Allergic To Justice

Author's Note: Turquoise is taking over from Red Cap for my lawyer-friendly "Change My Mind" meme comics for now. Also, she has a glass of apple juice next to her.

Ever wondered why justice rarely prevails in Anime? Do you want to know why some of the biggest copyright holders in Japan such as Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony and Toei to name a few have a disdain for fair use and fair dealing? That's because Japan believes that hierarchy, conformity and collectivism are more important than justice. That's why Japan has a major bullying problem, which could explain why Gary Oak often humiliates Ash Ketchum in the Pokemon TV series. This could also explain why Nintendo is so mean towards Waluigi just because he is considered an outsider by both the Mario series and the Wario series. Not to mention Japan prefers civil law over common law. Under civil law, suspects are guilty until proven innocent. Under common law, suspects are innocent until proven guilty. That's why fair use is being falsely accused of violating copyright regulations.

Despite all the positives that would have made the Anglosphere nation states the most benevolent of all the imperialist nations, Japanese Society rarely thinks positively about what the Anglo-Saxon nations did for them. In fact, Japan thinks negatively about Brexit because Brexit was always about Britain quitting the European Union and its secret plans to revive the Roman Empire, which will become one of Japan's trading partners during the time of the end right before Jesus Christ returns. For all we know, the author of Code Geass was inspired by the cruelty of Pax Britannica.

TL;DR, Japan is indeed allergic to the virtues of the Anglosphere.

Wearing It Better

Character costumes worn by my OC Turquoise in this comic, from left to right: Cal (Ripple Island), Roomi (Galaxy Fight), Shonen Captain Magazine Female Link (The Legend of Zelda), Mother Fairy (Pac-Land).

Author's Note: My apologies for Turquoise lacking pointy ears for the Roomi and Female Link costumes. At least her Mother Fairy costume has the fairy wings. By the way, this comic was inspired by the "Who Wore It Better?" meme.

Cal is the deuteragonist of the Famicom game Ripple Island, while Roomi is one of the female characters from the Neo Geo fighting game Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors.

Illustrations of female Link exist. They were found in a Shonen Captain magazine article about The Legend of Zelda in 1986.

Returning a lost fairy to the Mother Fairy is Pac-Man's main objective before returning home to his family in the Pac-Land arcade game.

Do you think Turquoise wore it better when she is dressed up as any of these characters?

Demanding Justice For Outsiders

Forget the Nintendo Switch 2 launch party. Justice for Ash Ketchum and Satoshi Tajiri is far more important. Even if Gary Oak and Ritchie getting sentenced to death would be considered grave insults to Shigeru Miyamoto and the late Hiroshi Yamauchi respectively, just remember how Nintendo mistreated outsiders such as Waluigi. By Nintendo standards, Ash Ketchum and his namesake Satoshi Tajiri are outsiders, and they have been mistreated by Nintendo.

A Better Alternative to going Pantsless or Skirtless

If my webcomic's female OCs do wish to go pantsless and/or skirtless, they can always wear a buruma because the buruma is outerwear that looks like panties, meaning the girls can go pantsless and/or skirtless without having to expose their panties.

By the way, the female gym attire that includes a buruma in this comic is from Inuyasha, where Kagome was seen wearing that gym attire during physical education sessions.

Thinking of other things other than other ladies 2

Another comic about my OCs in a lawyer-friendly version of the "Thinking about other women" meme? Looks like this comic could become a new Internet meme.

Bad news, folks. The tariff wars will be nothing compared to the debt bombs America and China are sitting on right now. If these debt bombs explode, it will cause a downturn that's far worse than the Great Depression, and it will ultimately lead to World War 3...

For those wondering what a xenophyophore is, it is an undersea amoeba that can grow up to eight inches in diameter. It's possible Kirby is a pink xenophyophore because official Nintendo sources confirm that Kirby's diameter is eight inches.

Risotto was always a great alternative to pasta and pizza for Italian Restaurants. Nuff said.

Anime was possibly the real reason striped bikinis are so popular in Japan. Change my mind.
