Yup!

=)

I guess in the next 4 months we will see how this 2022 is developing into.

I'm hopeful but after the last two years, I'm very cautious! The cartoon here was about the best spin I can put on it! XD

Molly

lol, that brings a smile, it's a wonder no one has come up with a ban the covid icon, i.e. the covid cell hiding (of trying to) hide behind the BtB lines, think you skepticism is well placed especially with the same fools in charge, at least in the UK

Thanks for validating my caution, Paul. I am not really awfully hopeful. Working in health care as I do (even in my semi-retired capacity) I'm really concerned at the damage being done to the fragile systems of health care in the world. We'll soldier on, I guess.

I'm truly happy the picture brought a smile! =)

Molly

Brilliant mix of characters!

And your art brings hope for a better year ❤️

Thank you, Cassandra! I appreciate your comment and join you in crossing my fingers with a cautious eye on how things proceed this year! XD

Molly

I hope you had a healthy start into the New Year dear Molly, let's see what else it has to offer besides Corona and his ugly little brother! 🍾🥂

Heh. Thank you, Ute! Let's hope that we have a much better year!

Molly

I remember the final scene in the old movie "The Wind and the Lion" where the Sean Connery (the Raisuli) and a subaltern are discussing the events that transpired. "It was a very bad year," the subaltern says, "and the next one will probably be worse."

Let's not hope so.

Amen, brother! I'm glad you enjoyed the image and it's inspiration enough to comment! =)

Hello Molly, welcome in 2022! How funny - the bubbles as well as the words :-) For me I'm sceptical, but a little bit optimistic, too. I wonder what your new character Molly will happen.

Heh. I'm sure the Molly character will crop up from time to time in humorous situations such as the previous picture of her on Santa's lap hoping for a new, better graphics card for her computer. I really appreciate your kind comments and insight, my dear. Let us hope for a good year, indeed!

Molly

Definitely another year to be skeptical about! Love the concept and execution of this "New Year's card"!!

Thanks, my dear! I have used Comic Life a lot to set up comic strip like panels such as this one and have even told pretty extensive stories with it that can be found at my Deviant Art site.

As for the sentiment, I sure hope 2022 is better than 2021 which was marginally better than 2020. I detect a trend that I like but still I'm skeptical. What person of reason would not be? XD

Molly

Great concept, and let's try to have a happy one. Doesn't hurt to try, yeah? Lol.

So true! I try my darnedest! =)

Molly

Lol, very entertaining yet truthful image! I am both skeptical and hopeful... hopefully "hopeful" will take the lead and win this year! Again, I love your original renders! Happy New Year!

Thank you, Ruby! A Happy New Year right back at you! <3

Molly

2022 is going to be the best year EVER!

Eh... maybe. ;-)

I really should have qualified what I meant by 'best'.

XD

Fair enough, my dear! =)

Molly

Ok, we're almost at the half point in the year and if you exclude the desperate situations in Ukraine and Afghanistan, global inflation and the fact that I'll be 60 next month, things aren't too bad.

Heh. It seems Poser Molly was right to be suspicious of this year.
