Peanuts at 75


Good Grief! Can you believe it's been 75 years since the Peanuts comic strip made its debut in seven American newspapers? Since then, the Peanuts franchise has become a force to be reckoned with, even after the death of Charles M Schulz in 2000.

The brick wall has been the main hangout for various Peanuts characters who wish to have conversations with each other. To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of Peanuts, here is a comic starring my original characters Red Cap and Blue Cap behind a brick wall talking about the 75th Anniversary of Peanuts and its legacy.

Happy 75th Anniversary, Charlie Brown! May the legacy of Charles M Schulz live on!

Swordtember 2025 (Part 4)


The Grand Finale of Neo Retro Union's Swordtember Special is here! Click here for Part 3!

Red Katanas exist in MapleStory. They can only be equipped by Warriors that are Level 70 and above with 200 Strength. Also, there is a Two-handed sword in MapleStory called Sparta. It can be equipped by Warriors that are Level 60 and above with 190 Strength.

One of the swords that warriors in Miitopia can wield is the Chopper Sword. It resembles the sword that Ganondorf wielded in the Spaceworld 2000 Tech Demo, as well as the Lynel Sword from Breath of The Wild. It has an Attack Stat of +31.

With all that said, Swordtember 2025 is officially completed!

Conflict Mineral


Tiberium. A highly valuable but radioactive mineral that the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod went to war over since the very first game in the Command and Conquer series. It turned living things into all sorts of mutated life forms, including visceroids, although many living things ended up dying from Tiberium radiation poisoning instead.

On a related note, Happy 30th Anniversary, Command and Conquer!

The End of Windows 10


With 21 days left before Windows 10 goes end of support, it will be my honor to give Windows 10 an eulogy before the end of support date.

If there was one operating system that deserves respect just like Windows XP and Windows 7, it has to be Windows 10. Not only did this Windows operating system helped to rebuild Microsoft's reputation after the huge blunder that was Windows 8, it made Microsoft fans forgive Microsoft for the Windows 8 fiasco.

However, Windows 10 will still receive security updates after the end of support date, as long as you pay Microsoft 30 bucks for them. This is only a temporary solution, even for computers that cannot run Windows 11. Therefore, the best solution is to start jumping ship to Linux for those who use computers that cannot run Windows 11.

So Long, Windows 10, and Thanks for All the Fish, Solitaire and Memories!

Swordtember 2025 (Part 3)


Part 3 of Neo Retro Union's Swordtember Special. Click here for Part 2.

The Master Sword was always an icon in the Legend of Zelda series. But it only made its debut in A Link to the Past for the SNES, meaning it made no appearances in the NES Zelda games. Then came the 8-Bit Link Amiibo, which featured what appeared to be an 8-Bit version of the Master Sword on Link's back. This inspired me to come up with the idea of what the Master Sword would have looked like if it was in the NES Legend of Zelda.

Fairfrozen is an iconic spear from MapleStory, so I decided to re-imagine this iconic spear as a Two-Handed Sword.

Does anyone still remember the Dragon Longsword from RuneScape in its present version or its Old School version? It was a badge of honor for RuneScape players who completed the Lost City quest. But when weapons with better DPS (damage per second) came around, the Dragon Longsword started to look less appealing to RuneScape players, and its popularity dwindled as a result.

Job Application


Author's Note: I made this comic back in the days when I was still searching for a job and submitting resumes to anyone who has a job vacancy.

Remember those times when we applied for jobs by submitting resumes to any company that has a job vacancy? In this comic, Pac-Man, Hebereke and a Rabbid are submitting their resumes to Peter Pepper, hoping that he will give them jobs as guest playable characters in a new BurgerTime game. However, that is easier said than done because Peter Pepper will need to verify their suitability for the jobs that Pac-Man, Hebereke, the Rabbid, or whoever is submitting a resume to Peter Pepper are applying for.

It's highly likely Pac-Man will be the most suitable candidate for the special guest playable character in a future installment in the BurgerTime series. After all, he would devour the hot dogs, eggs and pickles that have been constantly chasing Peter Pepper in the BurgerTime arcade game.

Swordtember 2025 (Part 2)


Part 2 of Neo Retro Union's Swordtember Special. Click here for Part 1.

If a sword based on Pac-Man existed, it would have been called a Pac-Sword. The hilt would have a cross guard that resembles Pac-Man, and the pommel would have been based on the power pellets that makes ghosts vulnerable to getting eaten up by Pac-Man. This makes the Pac-Sword the Bladed Bane of Ghosts.

The Lionheart is a Two-handed Sword that can be equipped by Warriors that are Level 35 and above with 115 Strength, while the Neocora is a One-handed Sword that can be equipped by Warriors that are Level 60 and above with 180 Strength. Both swords come from MapleStory.
