Welcome to the ashtray in the corner of the interwebs where the weird strips go when they give up on being normal.
This is where comics show up at 3 a.m. with red ink on their shirt and no alibi.
This comm is creator-friendly. So feel to throw your own stuff into the ring! 'Weird' is better than 'good,' friends! General comics talk is encouraged too.
I'm Buckminster Burkeswood, and I say, "Let's all race to the bottom and freak out Lemmy together!"

Single–panel and short web comics

I don't care what you used to create it. Bring it!
If it feels like something a bored bartender would laugh at, it probably fits. Weird is good!

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.
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. :)
