I'm supposed to be writing a thriller but tbh, what with everything going on in the world, I doubt I have made my villains evil enough to outdo reality.

A comic titled "Suburbia is scary (4)", depicting two characters seen in a high-angle shot, standing in front of the entrance of a hybrid rail station. One is wearing a T-shirt with the colors of the U.S. flag. The other is wearing a hoodie with the colors of the French flag. The French flag character looks dejected and says: "Let me get this straight... This is a railway station. Aplace that offers an alternative mode of transportation for people who do'nt have a car, or, admittedly, people who don't want to use a car... And THIS IS WHAT THEY SURROUNG IT WITH?!" The view zooms out to reveal that the hybrid rail station they are at is surrounded by a giant, practically empty parking lot. A narration box concludes: "I don't think California fundamentally knows how trains work."
Now if that abomination had more than a couple cars at a time in it, maybe I'd see a point. But no. It's always this deserted and it destroys my brain so completely. Just… Why.
...Myeh, I guess I shouldn't be surprised in hindsight.

A comic titled "Things in the U.S. that will forever crack me up (1/?)". A character wearing a T-shirt with the U.S. flag colors and a character wearing a hoodie with the French flag colors are looking at a display of books in a store. The French character comments, pensive: "Secret at the Bakery, huh... I wonder what kind of book this is..." Suddenly she notices something a points to the book. "Oh! I got it!" The image zooms in on a corner of the book with the mention: "a novel". The French character enthusisastically points at it with both hands, exclaiming: "IT'S A NOVEL!" She is then seen pointing at a variety of books, still exclaiming: "And that's a novel! And that's a novel! And this one!" while the U.S. character calmly comments: "Yes, honey." A narration bubble concludes: "Novels that need to tell you that they're "a novel" right on the cover."
I dunno it just makes me giggle and I'm very annoying to be in bookshops with now

A comic featuring two character sipping from takeout cups with straws at a table. One is wearing an outfit with the colors of the French flag, and says: "You know, it's funny... Didn't expect it, but sometimes, there's things here that make me feel like I've gone back in time." The other character, wearing an outfit with the colors of the United States flag, asks: "Like what?" The French character responds: "Plastic straws."
California has recently banned plastic bags from stores and coming from France it feels like living through the same canon event 10 years apart. Kinda nuts.

A comic depicting a character wearing a hoodie with French flag colors, going through several situations in the United States. A first titles states: "The U.S.:" Narration boxes state the following facts, accompanied with illustrations of the character demonstrating said facts: "Most cars are automatic. People typically bring whole foldable carts to markets to avoid having to carry bags. There's a drive-thru for everything." For the last sentence, the character is seen squinting at a drive-thru ATM, thinking: "OK, but this is overkill." A second title then adds: "Also the U.S.:" Once again, narration boxes state the following facts, accompanied with illustrations of the character demonstrating said facts: "Somehow can't make veggie cans without easy-open pull tabs, forcing you to buy an easily-breakable can opener to open them. Has laundromats you can only pay for with an app which charges you a "convenience fee" if you charge it a non-preset amount." For this sentence, the character is seen looking defeatedly at a blocked-out coin box on top of a washing machine, sighing: "Are you kidding me..." The last fact is: "Has people hand-file and calculate all of their taxes instead of having them pre-calculated by the government." The character, alongside her partner wearing a T-shirt with the colors of the U.S. flag, are tiredly looking at a computer screen. The French character asks: "How do you do it then?" The U.S. character replies: "We pay someone, usually." The French character concludes: "That's not "doing"."
...And how many of those inconvenient things are purely caused by greed at the end of the day gee I wonder

A comic titled "Suburbia is scary (3)". A character with a T-shirt colored with a French flag pattern is seen sleeping peacefully in a bed at night, surrounded by speech bubbles of sound effects and people shouting. A narration comments: "Back when I lived in the city, I was surrounded by human noise 24/7. Drunk people going home after parties, vehicles passing by quickly, parents with kids, people crying all night after getting dumped... I thought I could sleep to anything." The second panel then switches to the same character now in a bed next to another character wearing a T-shirt with a USA flag pattern. The multiple sounds are now completely gone, replaced with an overwhelming rumble shown in all caps and large characters in a red-colored speech bubble. The character with the French flag T-shirt is now wide awake, livid, with bloodshot eyes. The narration continues: "But clearly, I wasn't ready for suburban reefer trucks idling by the window all night."
A continuation of the comic in the previous image. The French character is sitting at her apartment complex's leasing office, talking to a representative. She says: "Reefer trucks keep idling all weekend under our window! It's clear noise disturbance! Can't you put up a sign?" The representative answers with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, it's out of our hands..." She then adds, looking more serious: "Besides, it could be worse, you know... You could have transients." The French person, surprised, goes: "Wha-? What does that have to do with-" The representative cuts in: "We had some here a couple years ago... Took forever to get rid of them." In a muffled voice, losing her composure a bit, the French character tries to answer: "But like... They're not physically capable of making as much noise as a reefer-" The representative cuts in again: "They kept going through the trash cans... Residents were terrified." The French person, now upset and panicking, tries to weigh in, in an increasingly small and shaky voice: "Well, people throw out a lot of thigns here... And they leave the trash cans open all the time... If they're worried-" The representative continues: "We were all so nervous about the rats they were gonna attract!" The comic then cuts to the French character loudly crying, seeking refuse in the arms of her partner (the person in the USA T-shirt from the previous image), who's trying to comfort her by petting her hair. Panicked, she cries on: "What just happened?! Seriously, what just happened?! I'm telling her about the reefer trucks and she starts being cruel to homeless people totally unprompted! What's wrong with people here?!"
Let's be clear: I'm not exemplary by any means when it comes to helping homeless people. But where I came from didn't prepare me for the sheer level of callousness for them I see here in the US.
