Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I live this series. Is there anywhere a collection where I can see them all?
The artist David Revoy has a home page with all of them: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomics/miniFantasyTheater.html
You can also find Pepper & Carrot there, a comic with a larger format and longer episodes.
He uses only open source software and also publishes the Krita source files for every comic.
Here’s the artists Mastadon where he posts them. Not sure if he’s got a website with them all or not.
The no ai club with just 3 people is so real, unfortunately...
Step 1: Make an anti-AI post on Lemmy.
Step 2: Profit.
And?
And now it’s your turn. Say I’m slop or something trendy like that.
You sound predisposed to being insufferable.
Do you also uphold this same standard for those, who say murder, child sexual abuse, animal abuse, etc. are bad? At least two of those three mentioned has way more performative activism attached to them, than to anti-AI, with most performative anti-AI activism coming from AI-grifters (!) themselves generating anti-AI propaganda, and/or those who only concerned about AI use in their own field.
Just because someone thinks even self-defense should be illegal due to "murder is bad even if the murdered is bad, uwu" doesn't make murder not bad.
Just because someone thinks lolicon and not having pubic hair is literally pedophilia (or at least "normalizes" it) doesn't make child sexual abuse not bad.
Just because someone thinks meat is murder or posts "let's call John Wick!" on even the smallest forms of animal abuse (or even fake ones) doesn't make animal abuse not bad.
And just because of anti-AI sentiments being popular even among some AI users for some parts doesn't negate the negative impacts of generative AI on the society. Boomers will still be fooled by them (even I can be if I don't use a magnifier glass every time to check for artifacts - at least convincing photoshops like that old image of Osama Bin Laden, George Bush, and Barack Obama being photoshopped onto the bodies of rabbis took effort from nazis to create, not just googling how to jailbreak advanced models), scammers are going to use it to augment or automate their scams, grifters are going to use it to spam "art" to get ad revenue for their first Porsche, the gas turbines are pollluting the environment, the people behind it are snake oil salesmen, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!
They never have concrete rebuttals to thought-out replies. If it was a matter of thinking, they wouldn't be going to bat for generative AI. Good work though.
If only you could profit from it
You give me a great idea! I will create a lemmy instance with ai-powered upvotes running in a blockchain so that people can profit from it /s
I think you should integrate NFCs in there for more profit potential
Those up arrows are worth more than gold
Once I made an elaborate anti-AI post that looks like pro-AI one if you fail to read it; got heavily downvoted, ignored and banned. That was worth more than any amount of up arrows. Pure bliss.
You expected people to read? On the internet?
Yeah, that's a mistake.
2 paragraph comment?! TL;DR?
Made a comment saying a meme is probably AI slop. Got heavily downvoted because it was a 'known' meme template, even had some guys calling me a 'whiteknight' and 'AI paranoid'. Edited the post and told people to look at the woman's face in the meme, it was all deformed. Downvotes became upvotes, upvotes became downvotes, felt better than sex.
Good on you. Silly humans.
Link or didn't happen
Haha ah blind absolutism at its finest
Can I pay people in upvotes from Lemmy?
You can pay them with all the pride, dignity and false confidence you’ve generated from all those upty dupties
AI = bird brain?
Avian Intelligence XD
If only it were “super easy” when it’s being shoved down our throat by pretty much every company on the planet…
I really enjoy this art style. Thanks for sharing these!
Microwaves were the future of cooking. Look at how that turned out.
The science was sound and built on a reliable use of electricity for output that people tried to get clever with but eventually settled into a more casual relationship with instead of expecting anything amazing from?
I mean honestly yeah probably will end up similar to microwaves where local running versions that people operating it are ok with lower quality will use, use it and its considered gross for professional setups.
Good comparison.
I think a lot of people in the west are kind of sleeping on the capabilities of microwaves. They’re fantastic.
That’s not an endorsement of AI.
After having 2 microwaves barely lasting more than a year in sequence, I decided no never have one again and rely on a small electric oven. It's not the same, but it's also great to use and it's lasting 5 years so far. I don't even miss a microwave anymore
Wow. That’s some shit luck, and I definitely get why you’d choose to not have one.
Don't think we've had one last less than a decade.
But if you don't need one, you don't need one. No need to clutter your home with another appliance just because it can occasionally heat up leftovers in a minute or something. I find it convenient but I've also lived without it and it was fine.
Literally everyone has a microwave though
Lots of professional kitchens use Chef Mike.
