A glimpse into 'Paul in the Metro' by Michel Rabagliati, where Paul and his friend explore the remnants of the '67 Expo in Montreal.

A black-and-white comic panel depicts a futuristic, utopian cityscape with geometric buildings, musical notes, and a sign reading 'URSS'. Overlaid text at the top reads: 'HARD TO BELIEVE THAT JUST SIX YEARS EARLIER, FIFTY-FIVE MILLION VISITORS HAD CONVERGED HERE TO SING AND DANCE TO GROOVY POP TUNES CELEBRATING THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE OF PEACE AND LOVE.' A banner in the upper left says 'HEY FRIEND, SAY FRIEND COME ON OVER' with musical notes. The image is a satirical take on the 1959 World Festival of Youth and Students in Moscow, contrasting its optimistic portrayal with the grim reality of the Soviet Union.
