After the controversy of my “Opening Up” comic, I decided to do something dumb and fun. This wordplay was based on a game my partner and I play. It’s hard to explain. But I like this comic. Someday, I hope to turn it into a children’s book.

This is probably my most political comic to date. It blew up on Reddit. I think it even made it to the front page. People used the comments as a place to debate COVID-19 lockdown re-opening. The debate got so heated that the moderators of r/funny actually took it down.
