A Blast From The Past (December 2014) Updated For December 2020 Where No Cartoon Has Gone Before

In the email that brought today's TMW 'toon to the blogger's In Box, Tom Tomorrow (Dan Perkins) also wrote:

As I mentioned last week, this week’s cartoon is an evergreen that first ran in 2014, made necessary by the early deadlines of many of my clients, and by my own desire to just take a few days off at the holidays. I changed the date in the opening panel but the cartoon is otherwise unaltered.

I hope I am not tempting fate to wish you all a much happier new year than the one we just limped through.

Until 2021,

Dan/Tom

And that is all the news from This Modern World as the year 2020 comes to a well-deserved end. If this is (fair & balanced) recycling in cartooning, so be it. And, as long as The Loser in the 2020 election is plotting to declare martial law in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin and stage a "re-vote" under military supervision prior to the Inaugural Ceremony on January 20, 2021...
