Funny part is that this comic is at least a decade old

It feels earlier. I could swear I saw it at the tail end of the Bush years, but it might have actually been the first Obama term. The artist dumped a bunch of comics in a 2011 post on their blog, so probably at least that old.

This scene takes place in the gift wrapping section of a department store. Let that sink in for a moment.

This comic is from (IIRC) 2002 or 2003, it’s at least 22 years old.

They've always wanted everyone to shut the fuck up and play along. 9/11 was just another opportunity to build towards that goal.
