[Cueball talks to Megan while looking at his smart phone.]

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

Megan: Imagine going back in time and saying that to yourself 20 years ago.

Cueball: Oh, I have a time machine! I’ll try that.

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

Cueball from 2019: …next to mine.

[Cueball from 1999 is shown, with Cueball from 2019 speaking off panel.]

Cueball from 1999: I see.

Cueball from 1999: Pokemon is still popular in 2019?

Cueball from 2019: Yeah.

[Cueball from 2019 is holding a finger up in front of Cueball from 1999.]

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…
