Happy 4th of America!
I have no idea why they’re celebrating American Independence Day in a distant future where nobody even mentions Earth anymore, but who cares? FIREWORKS!
So, yeah, special holiday thing today. But don’t worry, I’ve already got the next “real” page mostly finished, so getting an extra update for Saturday should be no problem. SO be sure to drop by again for that!
In the meantime, if you really need SOMETHING that advanced SOME kind of plot today, you can always enjoy a new Voting Incentive!
(Historical Notes: I have NO idea how this managed to sync up like this by accident, but I’m re-posting this six-year-old 4th of July page on the day before THIS year’s Independence Day. That’s weirdly close for something I wasn’t even trying to do. Also, it’s extra funny that, even this far back, I was pondering the celebration of anachronistic holidays in The Future, seeing as how… well, if you’re reading this before 2020’s filler holiday comics have been re-posted here, go check the various Far Out There social medias to see what I’m talking about. Unless you’re reading this on July 3rd. In THAT case, this paragraph is just gonna be really awkward.)
Re: Alt-text: Riiiiight. “Accidentally” 😉
Also, any holiday where you can buy stuff On Sale and then celebrate by gorging on food and blowing stuff up will continue to be celebrated looooong after people have forgotten its original meaning. (Like most of our holidays already are, for most folks at least.)
Dude, just look at how many holidays from other regions America “celebrates” purely in the form of getting drunk.
