I was cleaning up my hard drive and I found this stuffed into a forgotten folder. The date on the file is 24 December 2012.

I searched for the same image on the Internet, but despite some people having pointed out the similarities between the original comic and Inception, I didn't find a copy of the same image put together like this, so I assume I must have made it myself.

This may be the longest time between a comic being made and it appearing on iToons.
