Death, famine, plague, and my brother getting a job off his own efforts.
Funny. I always thought it was Death, Famine, Plague, and my older sister being civil and/or human towards me for no reason whatsoever, not just when she wants something from me.
"The Customer Is Always Right...But The Bartender Decides Who Is Still A Customer."
Vertigo comics published a mini-series called Four Horsemen. It was a black comedy that took place on 31 December, 1999, in which the Horsemen return. The modern world is so changed that they do not recognise it, and they each meet an individual who changes their views. At the end each takes on a new, more contemporary name. Famine becomes Fecundity, representing the fear of becoming overweight; War becomes Incorporation, because all wars are now fought in the boardroom; Pestilence becomes Information, because information is the new plague on the world; and Death becomes Incomprehensibility, representing the fact that many people can't comprehend that their actions will have consequences. In the end, the Horsemen climb into their limos, each deciding to take their own path to the world's destruction. They plan to return in a century, as they think that is all it will take to usher in the Tribulation.
