- 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).

Kill himself, but also killing the person who used the soulless machine to ape that iconic art style.
Hes killing them through himself. He wants to exact both vengeance and to cease to be at the same time.
Which is really reprehensible, because if you're going to kill someone, you need to look them in the eye as you dart past the swing of their knife and plunge your own into their chest behind the truck stop where my greyhound was refueling on that rainy night in 1991
... when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell?
No, it was when that guy's idiot son Roger first got beat with jumper cables.
Ah yes, murder-suicide is a perfectly reasonable response to your friend doing something artistic that you disagree with.
Is exaggeration for humour something you're unaware of?
Humor is a kind of art and he doesn't understand art.
There's no humour here.
Look closer at the third panel.
A man's friend has generated a cute image that she finds amusing. In response, the man has decided to kill her and also himself.
Woo, hilarious.
What’s the artistic part in “upload photo to AI generator and write prompt ‘turn this into ghibli-style’”?
The humour in the comic isn’t mine, but I don’t consider using an AI slop machine as artistic.
Write a prompt? There's probably a button...
What's the artistic part in "taping a banana to the wall?"
Art is in the eye of the beholder, you don't get to declare what is and is not art for everyone else.
So you think that typing the prompt “convert this photo ghibli style” constitutes art? You’re really scraping the bottom there.
The resulting image is not art and it’s definitely not the work of the friend in the comic.
No, I think that anyone who declares that they know what art is or is not is wrong.
Art is different things to different people, there's no objective determination.
I don't know if you're familiar with hyperbole
Putting a photo through an AI photo filter is not artistic. Literally a toddler drawing with a crayon is infinitely more artistic.
"Doing something artistic", as if there's anything artistic about shoving a likely lovingly taken picture into one of these slop machines.
Look up "hyperbole"
Yea. Just realized he's about to off both of them.
It's beautiful really
