2021 will be a common year starting on Friday (Dominical Letter C) of the Gregorian Calendar. It will be the 21st year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century and the 2nd year of the 2020's Decade.

2021 is the year known for the biggest major event yet, which is the year all cartoons made in 1925 loose copyright protection and enter the public domain. This especially include Zach The Stick Person's very first cartoon made, which is The Boat Ride, released on June 15, 1925, which has not been copyright renewed as of 2020.

2021 has seen many events that were hosted in person, but were postponed, delayed, or even cancelled in the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Normalcy began in late February and continued forward with vaccinations.
