Comic 1000! Yowza! Can't get psyched out by the milestone.
On Friday, I premiered an 8-minute animated Two Party Opera proof of concept — it's currently on my Patreon for all to enjoy for free!
Five panel comic titled "Milestones (Don't Let Them Psych You Out)" — above, a timeline begins, starting with "U.S. declared independent July 4, 1776."
Panel 1: America at 1. July 4, 1777. John Hancock, 2nd President of the Second Continental Congress, "Now to make a government out of it."
Panel 2: America at 10. July 4, 1786. Nathaniel Gorham, 8th President of the Confederation Congress. "That government didn't work, but we're working on a new one."
Panel 3: America at 100. July 4, 1876. Ulysses S. Grant,18th President of the United States of America. "That government split in half. We're trying to reconstruct it back together."
Panel 4: America at 1000. July 4, 2776. G.O.R.G. Washing-tron, 5th Grand Executive of the United Signatories of America. "I AM GOVERNMENT. BOW TO WASHING-TRON."
Panel 5: America at 10000. July 4, 11776. Star-spangled empty space.
