Summertime is finally upon us!
What's summer without fun in the sun and a hearty helping of laughter? Whether you spend your time enjoying the ocean breeze in your Mog Garden, working on your tan on Purgonorgo Isle, or barbecuing up Mithkabobs for you and your friends, you're making countless memories each day. We want you to share a funny summer moment with the rest of Vana'diel by snapping summer-related screenshots and putting them together with text to create a four-panel comic!
