Nostalgia

KB: This is one of our best comics. I've always had a love/hate relationship with nostalgia, and I think this piece perfectly illustrates the pitfalls of looking back on the past with rose-colored glasses.

Had I known how the 2010s and beginning of the 2020s would turn out, I would have made the last panel even more dystopic.

GB: It was fun to snobbishly determine the most insipid culture to include in each decade, but this is so jam-packed that I'm not sure the actual point reads: that the griping couple are consistently wearing T-shirts of genuinely good bands whose heyday was in the previous decade. I probably should have made the two of them more prominent, with all the other stuff in the background. But I like the overall premise.
