Fun Fact: The tanks that are talking about how much they miss the Australia of 2001 in this comic are tanks that served in the Australian Army. The tank on the left is an M1 Abrams, and the tank on the right is a Leopard AS1. Both tanks have a fan-made roundel specially made for this comic featuring a seven-pointed star one can find on the Australian flag.
It's sad to think about it, but the Australia of today is a far cry from the Australia of 2001. Back in those days, Holden was still around and it was manufacturing great cars such as the Holden Commodore. The early days of 2001 were also a much simpler time for Australian netizens back when they only had GeoCities and AOL Instant Messenger, and draconian internet regulations were non-existent. Today, the demise of Holden in 2021 is starting to become a forgotten memory, especially when Australia is now struggling to rein in violent crimes, cyberbullying and cyberterrorism through enforcing draconian regulations that are ironically doing more harm than good. In other words, Australia has become a prison like it's 1788 all over again, and it's all because Australians under 16 are prohibited from using social media, and don't even get started on the Bondi Beach Hanukkah Massacre...
To my Australian fans, Happy Australia Day.
