No signature? Looks like poorly drawn lines but without the usual characters

Awesome, thank you. I never understand why people share these and specifically bother to remove the signature. They're not claiming authorship so why remove it?

Some of the wording has been changed too. Odd.

Because most likely the original was translated to another language (Russian, most likely), and then that got translated back to English.

Yeah the beef saying ЭЭЭ tells me russian

[–] GTG3000@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've seen the russian version before, must be it.

usually russian translation won't hide the address, but idk if it was the case here.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think I like the edited version better, actually.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah me neither. Makes no sense.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, same thought. The writing reminds me of Where's My Jetpack (Tom Gauld) but not the art.

Then in 2060 they elected another Republican

Popularity of robo wasps went up when the president claimed dying in horrible agony was actually a good thing. Several people voluntarily provoked their nests. Others tried keeping them as pets.

It's actually RFKs grandchild, who's mother was the granddaughter of Noelle Bush.

Yeah. I fucking went deep for this throwaway joke.

These utopian comics are so hopelessly naïve.

Last panel looks like an annual Sim City disaster.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like poorly drawn lines, but I can't find it on their .com.

Awesome news about the kraken! Something to look forward to anyway.
