I think football saved my life (an honest comic about how it feels)

Some feeling that I don't generally show in my art. Existental dread is hitting pretty hard in these times, no?
A four-panel comic in watercolour. [1st] The artist's avatar(a brick red lindworm) looks out the balcony window with a snowy hill visible outside and thinks 'I hope spring won't come this year'. [2nd] Same scene viewed from outside the window and closed up. It thinks 'I doubt it will. Everything is dying and it's our fault, we don't deserve flowers' [3rd] A closeup that only the lindworm's eye is visible. There is a big '!' and a speech bubble that reads 'But… if it never gets warm, when will I start wearing football shirts?' Below is a small drawing of the lindworm wearing a padded jacket and shivering. [4th] The lindworm wearing a Maribor 24/25 away shirt frolicks on a sunny green and yellow field. There are plants that resemble club crests: a green and red tree on the horizon(Southampton and Forest), a red lily with purple leaves(Fiorentina), a green plant(Fenerbahçe), a red rose(Blackburn), a four-leaf clover(Celtic) and two three-leaf clovers(Fürth/Panathinaikos/Omonia).
