今非昔比

今 = 亽 + ㇇ : A rip off calendar showing today's date: 今

今 = 亽 + ㇇ : Joan of Arc has changed into half-duck half-human being and lives in a tipi in front of the encampment. With her beak, she shows a rip off calender with the date of Armageddon: today.

非 = 三 + 丿 + 丨 : Mnemonic symbol: a negative film (photography)

非 = 三 + 丿 + 丨 : Frankenstein's monster made an effort to photograph the Eiffel Tower, but now his negative is a big mess. In front of the tower her set up a camera on a Cartesian coordinate system as a tripod, and he attached a banana and a dinosaur bone to the camera so that he can finely tune the angles. All was for naught as he now holds the messed up negative in his hands.

昔 = 井 + 日 : Mnemonic symbol: From 奶昔, milkshake

In former times, Marie Curie thought that at the end of every day, the sun falls into a well and therefore the light goes off. Nowadays as she is floating in front of the space station, she finds that she was right: as in the former times, every evening the sun goes into the well to fetch herself a milkshake.

比 = 七 + 匕 : Mnemonic symbol: from 比基尼, "bikini".

Brunhilde likes Leonidas' outfit, so she tries it for herself, wearing a bikini in the space station and wielding a ladle and a seven-branched laser sword.
