Cueball: Ugh. A player named “Reelect Trump 2020” put a frog Pokemon in the gym next to mine.

Above the left Cueball there is a frame with a caption:]

Cueball from 1999: I see.

Cueball from 1999: And it’s cool for people your age to play it?

Cueball from 2019: OK, I did not come here to be mocked.

Cueball from 1999: This is a sobering cautionary tale.

Cueball from 2019: Listen, self…
