Already feel like you're forgetting the major events of 2013? Well, may we present the perfect CliffsNotes: One image packed to the edges with everything that has happened in the last 12 months, from the Edward Snowden leaks to the smashing power of Pacific Rim's Jaegers and kaiju.
Illustrated by Mario Zucca, the image has almost 90 different highlights from the past year. There's a bit of Katniss Everdeen, the rise of original Netflix content, the cast of Game of Thrones outside of a bridal store (Red Wedding, get it?), some twerking Miley Cyrus and President Obama in front of a 404-ing computer. There also nods to the dominance of Breaking Bad – and the coming dominance of Netflix shows like Orange is the New Black and House of Cards.
"The task was daunting: Illustrate a scene mishmashing all of the major news stories from 2013, almost 90 to be exact," said Zucca, who created the illustration for Beutler Ink, in a blog post. "We decided the scene should be staged in a Times Square-like setting. I didn’t really know where to start."
Ultimately Zucca went with a Times Square-style setting, giving him many venues to stick big images and tiny Easter eggs. See how many you can spot in the image above and when you think you've found them all, head over to Zucca's site for a full breakdown of the images to see which ones you missed.
