times-have-changed

A four-panel comic. On the left is a young man with bright flame-like orange hair wearing a green visor; on the right is an older bald man. Panel 1: the young man asks, "There were 'sodomy laws' when you were a kid?" The old man replies, "Yep. Times sure have changed." Panel 2: the old man, looking faintly weary, adds, "Oh boy. The past may have been more different than you realize." Panel 3: the young man earnestly says, "I don't get it. I mean, it's a worthy goal, but how do you make sure everyone has access to sodomy without impinging on other people's rights?" Panel 4: the young man continues, "Was the idea to have free sodomy bots?" and the old man, deadpan, answers, "Oh, you sweet summer child." The joke is that the young man, from a future where sodomy is a celebrated universal right to be guaranteed for all, cannot fathom that 'sodomy laws' once made it illegal. Votey (a small follow-up panel): showing the old man, the young man delivers a final line: "No wonder you had so many wars."
