Today’s cartoon, by Will McPhail:

A panicked-looking woman sticks her head out of a mysterious swirling portal and talks to a younger woman.

“I’m you from the future, where your fate is entirely decided by the whims of a few billionaires whom you’ll never meet, so I don’t really have anything to tell you, advice-wise!”
