welcome to the fest

I don't want to jinx it. There's a whole 2022 Year to appear yet, after all.

In Japanese children's hero shows, it used to be that not long after the anti-hero woke from whatever delusion had turned them into the baddy, they weren't long for the world. Of course they would sometimes come back in spirit.

Hah, that's what happened to Anakin Skywalker.

Today's comic fills me with more hope that the artist is finally revealing his endgame to this long story. I realize that the politics in the USA have been a real shitshow for many years, which lead me to be ashamed for my Country. I had hoped to see the last year rebuilding some of that back, but I also realize that this is a long road to recovery and will require a lot of effort to repair the trust of the world, but I still hold out hope that the American Dream may be redeemed...
