The visuals are also fantastic.
A screen capture from ''Q-Transformers'' in which Megatron outlines his plan, illustrated in a thought bubble in which he is wearing cat ears and two men are reacting with interest.

Checking to see if ChatGPT knows about Funana, but apparently ChatGPT thinks Pat Lee might also be Hyung-Tae Kim.
Conversation with ChatGPT: You: What other names are comic artist Pat Lee known by? ChatGPT: Pat Lee is primarily known by his birth name, but he has also used the pseudonym "Hyung-Tae Kim" in some instances. Additionally he has worked under the name "Pat Lee Productions" for his artistic endeavors. You: In what instances did Pat Lee use the pseudonym Hyung-Tae Kim? ChatGPT: I apologize for the confusion, but it seems there might have been a misunderstanding. Pat Lee and Hyung-Tae Kim are actually two separate individuals, each with their own distinct style and body of work. Pat Lee is a Canadian comic book artist and the co-founder of Dreamwave Productions, known for his work on titles like "Transformers" and "Darkminds." Hyung-Tae Kim, on the other hand, is a South Korean artist and video game character designer, best known for his highly stylized and detailed artwork in games such as "Magnacarta" and "Blade & Soul."

Only getting mild "Lex Luthor swears to destroy Superman" vibes off the picture of our new Prime Minister on this morning's paper.
The cover of 25 November's The Post, featuring the most sinister picture of incoming New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon possible.
