I yearn for the day when this comic will no longer be relevant

An angry person holding a “no AI” sign yells, “AI art sucks!!” There is another person in the background but it’s unclear what they’re doing.

We now pan over to the person in the background to reveal it’s a anthropomorphized Adobe Illustrator. They look very sad.

Don’t believe your brain if it tells you you aren’t good enough

Sorry one more old chart 😅

A bar chart titled “Mean Fingers” with a Y axis ranging from Not Mean to Very Mean and an X axis containing bars for Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, and Pinky. Thumb is very low. Index and Ring are about a third of the way up. Pinky is slightly lower than Index and Ring. Middle goes all the way up to the top of the chart.

Another old one. I used to be really into charts. I mean I still am I just don’t have any more funny ideas for them

Some days I’m filled with this immense feeling of gratitude that I get to share my weird art with people from all over the world and today is one of those days

Thank you for being here :)

My first Hoomph comic, circa 2012 😅

Person driving in a car sees a deer crossing sign by the side of the road.

Suddenly, a deer leaps out of nowhere in almost the same position as the depiction on the sign. The person in the car is terrified and begins to swerve.

The deer, now emanating a rainbow trail and stars behind it, flies up into the sky. The person has crashed their car against a tree.

Shout out to those friends that you love dearly but are scared to hang out with one on one because you’re worried it will be awkward

Yeah the environment is being demolished by AI server farms but we get our work done slightly faster so that’s cool

Epilogue ❤️‍🩹

Adobe Illustrator looking very sad.

There is a giant toolbar and they select the lasso tool.

Still looking very sad, they draw a few circles around their neck.

They are now facing away and there is a rope around their neck and leading up into the air. An arm reaches from outside the panel and grabs Illustrator’s shoulder.

It’s Adobe Photoshop. They have a slight smile on their face as they look at Illustrator.

There is another giant toolbar and Photoshop selects the healing brush tool.

Photoshop places their hand against Illustrator’s heart. It glows as Illustrator looks down in amazement.

Illustrator, smiling, looks up at Photoshop. Their heart is now glowing.

Illustrator embraces Photoshop, smiling as tears stream down their face.
