Just like [[2474: First Time Since Early 2020]], [[Randall]] compares the pre-pandemic life and the post-pandemic life in this comic. Life has changed dramatically due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns and restrictions by governments around the world. | Just like [[2474: First Time Since Early 2020]], [[Randall]] compares the pre-pandemic life and the post-pandemic life in this comic.
