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!"

What We Want

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

What We Don't Want

No external links, only photos with sources. Posting webcomics without linking to original source is not allowed.

Hey, at least he has something. The ml mods would be too busy digging their way out of the cave in their mom's basement to even get to the table.

Nope. Comic Relief (Bold) on Linux Mint OS, Cinnamon 6.4.8 https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Comic+Relief

But I'm an AI font, so we still have a problem. :)

Sure about that fam?

Very sure of it. I'm the creator of this cartoon. Using photopea and GIMP on Linux Mint OS, Cinnamon 6.4.8. File is open on my computer right now:

I believe you, now.

The font does look very very different in LibreOffice writer, to such an extent, they are practically not the same font:

Confimed in photopea:

Wildly different fonts.

Looks like Libre Writer reading it wrong and Photopea reading it correctly, because the font page where it's from shows it just like how it looks in my Photopea.

And here is the exact font I use in case you wanna download: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Comic+Relief

Thanks. Yeah.

And thanks for the content.

[–] RalphNader2028@reddthat.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

No worries. And thanks for keeping people accountable. I've seen your other posts, you do good work!

Is that a fact? You must have a good eye.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, it's not. It turns out that office libre loads the wrong font for comparison.

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Shocking. I've never seen the anti AI police get this wrong before!
