#588 – yes i remember

I like that Hanna's captions merge, first in font and then with the removal of balloons, with the pixel art. Lacey's choices for icons of the 90s are immaculate here. It takes me to a dark place to think about any of these characters or objects - all commodities on the first pass - and how my memories of them have been further commodified. Nostalgia is a painful feeling when you get right down to it.

    1. A Troll doll.

      1. My favorite moment is still the moment Jay's father rides a monster truck through "Guernica":
