Saying it again. You do *not* have to be the most accomplished artist in the world to make an excellent comic that speaks to people and communicates your truths.

Good time for a reminder that anyone using generative AI in their comics or in any way defending this environment-destroying plagiarism machine gets a lifetime coverage ban at BF.

Be better.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

I didn't which I am very thankful for. I know that's one of the signs of the two new variants doing the rounds. (Sore throats are a thing I do not bear well so glad that wasn't part of it!)

Slowly beginning to feel a bit better but I manage about 3-4 hours up before I feel totally exhausted and have to sleep again. And still testing positive on Day 10. Urgh.

DONUT SQUAD TAKE OVER THE WORLD! is one of my absolute fave comics of 2025. Seriously, this is genius stuff from Neill Cameron and The Phoenix.
