A quaint video game version of the US flag appears in the video game Karate Champ (1984), as made by Data East. The players either wear white or red. When a player wins, the ref holds up a small flag that indicates who the winner is. In this case a red flag is lifted as he scores a point.
In season 6 of the Rick and Morty Show, the planets go to war for control of the solar system. Several planetary flags are visible in the crowd. The flag of Mercury has the Western symbol in grey on a blue field. It looks like several other are present as well.
It looks like a version of the Earth flag in the background. The finial is silver moon. The flag has the Sun, Earth, and Moon on a field of black, with grey border. There also another Sun flag vexillum. Unfortunately a woman is waving a red pennant, which blocks a perfect view of the Earth flag.
In Season 6 Rick and Morty have an adventure on the Sun and the banner of Sun can be seen in the background. It is composed of an orange disc, with yellow flames on a field of red, that is swallow tailed with a yellow border.
Ground Hog Day is an American tradition, which started in Pennsylvania. Just barely for a moment does the flag of Pennsylvania appear in this truly timeless American classic, Ground Hog Day, a movie that impressed a unique American value upon this quirky holiday. The flag of Pennsylvania is in the background of the two men holding the orange 'Blizzard' sign. Next to the greed '6 MORE WEEKS OF WINTER' sign is the 50 starred US flag.
Ground Hog Day! Unlike Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, Easter, Passover, Ramadan, Hannukah, Christmas, Rosh Hashanah, St. Patrick's Day, it is a true-blue All-American holiday like the 4th of July, and Thanksgiving. Perhaps the quirkiest of American holidays? It's a non-denominational for all the people groups of the US. Several flags appear in this movie, and thankfully the Pennsylvania State flag makes an appearance.
The Moon is New, Empty and yet to lit as if in Utero. Soon the first Moon of 2023 will begin its dance around the Earth. Until then there is a required darkness and waiting. Until then, a deep quite sleep is required, for the new spouts of tomorrow's new Moon glow of 2023. Oddly this is a rare Moon that syncs up with the Eastern Calendar, whence the year of Cat Begins from a Yin point of view, but most in the East recognize it as the Year of the Rabbit.
Upon the ending, a mystery of friends, pets, customer, bosses, stories, songs, await each coming year. In that silent space they wait.
