alt text: woman says "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me!" a person off screen says "letters from soviet time capsules." the woman in the panel retches over, darkness and despair engulfs the backdrop as she comes to be reminded of the letters from past times imagining utopian socialist republics from the now dissolved Union of Socialist Council Republics [USSR].

hello, this is an altered image, this specific artist had a period of time where right wing actors had altered and posted her work as although she was very pro right leaning.

seeing how this is a communist leaning or "extreme left leaning" altercation, i imagine the artist would not want to be associated with this altercation or be assumed that the creator has these left leaning ideas.
