Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a four-panel comic using the gray "NPC" Wojak face in a red "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" cap. He says "LIKE IT WAS IN THE 50s," and a second, rounder figure asks whether he means when union membership was "32.5%," the top 1% "PAID A 91% INCOME TAX," and CEOs made "20 TIMES" their workers' pay. The NPC's expression hardens by the final panel. The figures and claims are the comic's argument, reproduced as found; they are not endorsed or fact-checked here. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
