Does the old year typically carry a scythe?

Yeah, the outgoing year is almost always depicted as Father Time who traditionally caries a scythe and hourglass

That's his signature in Hebrew, that's on other comics, and the third strip is actually by Yossi Shahar. The necklace is pretty hosed though.

Still a better artist than Leunig, and as far as I know never sexual harassed his own sister.

Cleverly, although not very originally, using East Asians as a positive example, presumably to deflect accusations of racism (although I don't see why that would suddenly be a concern).

Typically whenever nazis use East Asia as an example of a superior society, the unspoken attribute is "they're more ethnically homogeneous than America, which is good"

A genie is a common metaphor in AI circles. Like a monkeys paw, it can grant wishes that go horribly wrong. However, with a genie there's typically the idea that if you word the wish exactly right, you can get what you want with no downside. This maps onto the idea of AI alignment, which studies how to very carefully build AI so that it doesn't go wrong

There's also the idiom of "putting the genie back in the bottle," which is where a lot of anti-AI people get stuck that they want to make AI tech no longer feasible when it's already established
