Life imitating art, or vice versa...Far Side prescient cartoon

[rgG]

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?
