Life imitating art, or vice versa...Far Side prescient cartoon - rgG - 01-01-2020
If you scroll down to the last cartoon on today’s Gary Larson’s Far Side page, you will see the Hopeful Parents one.
Maybe these are that Ninja video gamer kid’s parents, a few years ago.

From Dave Berry's year in review:
"In sports, the superb U.S. women’s national soccer team, following years of hard work and sacrifice, wins its fourth World Cup and a first prize of $4 million, or about $200,000 per player.
Later in the month, a 16-year-old high school student named Kyle Giersdorf wins a Fortnite video-game tournament.
His prize — really — is $3 million.
"I’m so happy,” says Kyle. “Everything I’ve done in the grind has all paid off and it’s just insane.”
It is, Kyle. It really is."

Simple economics - hundreds of millions of people watch esports, how many watched the soccer match?
