Of course; hence not the reason for the thread. Of general interest is the art style, effectiveness of the humor, and overall presentation and effectiveness.


Of special interest might be how one's own history is presented to others. History is complicated; therefore, how much accuracy is sacrificed for simplification and brevity. In other words, is the presentation fair.
