Progressive disappointment as hopes for yearly improvements post-2020 are dashed, with conditions getting worse by 2024
Overview
This is a 5-panel black and white rage comic meme using the classic Trollface character. Panel 1 (2020) shows a grinning confident Trollface with text "Wait for it to get better". Panel 2 (2021) shows the same character and text. Panel 3 (2022) shows the Trollface looking strained and distorted, still with the same waiting text. Panel 4 (2023) shows the Trollface almost fully blackened and unrecognizable, still with the waiting text. Panel 5 (2024) shows the Trollface as a completely faded dark silhouette, with the text changed to "It got worse". The joke comments on the widespread feeling that global living conditions have progressively declined each year since the 2020 pandemic, despite common hope that each subsequent year will improve.
