Welcome to the ashtray in the corner of the interwebs where the weird strips go when they give up on being wholesome.

This is where comics show up at 3 a.m. with red ink on their shirt and no alibi.

Let's all race to the bottom together!

What We Want

If it feels like something a bored bartender would laugh at, it probably fits. Weird is good!

Maybe you use a brush. Maybe you use a sprayer and you’re done in forty five minutes instead of three long days.

Covering a room in one color of paint doesn't include the same level of creative decision and input that creating comic strips does. In this case, the sprayer has so many bits of paint from all the past projects it's seen that your walls end up a slightly muddled shade, which wouldn't happen if you had hand-painted. Which is fine if that's not a problem for you, but the guests will notice and may even point it out.

I'm an artist and I can draw on my own and ai does very little to my stuff, but even if I couldn't draw, I'd still be posting shit that I want to.

If AI does very little to your stuff, why use it at all? Some of these comics have a major AI vibe, which does not make it feel like an original drawing. I'm just saying I'd love to see what they look like before you run them through, AI that's all.

I feel like this discussion has strayed incredibly far from its origin. We're clearly not going to see eye-to-eye on AI use. But I do wish you'll look into the effects of those data centers, and perhaps you'll start seeing what I'm saying.

My only real point on your comic is it's incredibly confusing to criticise AI reliance while using AI. Or maybe I took the bait. Great username btw.

Because I want to. Because I get to. I am from the future. Maybe just not your future. :)
