Since Ben Garrison is the one human whose output most closely resembles AI, I imagine this is him having an existential crisis.

You're saying an actual human called that thing both "pen & ink" and a "typewrite"?

... Also labeled the clearly working lamp as "power outage"

... And doesn't understand how USB works

I don't buy it. Even if Ben did real drawing in the past, he clearly isn't now. Edit: Or as a reply pointed out, the signature could be fake too with Ben not involved.

It's Ben Garrison! Dude can't get an erection unless he labels every single goddamn thing. While being barely coherent. He's been doing this for ages!

Is this real? Or is it a fake comic making fun of Ben Garrison? It's hard to tell. I'd expect better even from him, which is saying a lot.

I dont think this is real. Definitely AI generated, very unlikely to be his actual work.

I agree, reverse image search isn't coming up with anything for this one, but it works on other comics from his site. Seems to be an imitation.

He's always been a big fan of labels.
