I don’t have a cartoon syndicate and I’m not in newspapers. But I get to do this for a living because lots of readers support my Patreon with mostly small pledges! I also have prints and books for sale.
Transcript of Cartoon
This cartoon has four panels, and is colored in various tones of sepia.
Panel 1
A man stands alone in a room, holding out a shiny ball in one hand. He is speaking to the ball. Nearby, an open box with “Magic Ball” written on it lies open on the floor. The man is looking a little anxious, and is dressed in a slightly old-fashioned style, with a bow tie and a vest with thin vertical stripes.
MAN: Oh, magic ball… I wish I lived in the old days. Society was better then. Life was better.
MAGIC BALL: I, the Magic Ball, will grant your wish!
Panel 2
The man continues speaking to the magic ball, now with an overjoyed expression.
MAN: Wow, it works! Thank you, magic ball! It’s been my lifelong dream to live back when everything was civilized!
MAGIC BALL: I’ll send you to any century you wish! But choose carefully, because when you get there, you’ll be Black.
Panel 3
Still holding the ball, the man looks up as he concentrates, his brow knitted.
MAN: In that case, I’ll go to… Please send me to… To…
Panel 4
Dejected, the man walks away, tossing the ball away over one shoulder.
