Or: Everyone decreases their discretionary spending to invest in companies that make consumer goods.

As a result, few people are buying the products these companies sell, like books and iPods, and they don't become successful.

I know this is terrible, but I find it fascinating in a sort of juvenile, teen magazine personality quiz, collect all the dolls type of way.

We've got our Businessman, Jock, Normcore main character, Sensitive Grunge Musician, Dweeb and Rebel.

Ignoring the manosphere bullshit and blithely viewing this as a team of characters planning a heist, or potential matches in a farming game or dating sim, how is this not kind of cool?

It means that AI tends to write in a dorky, friendly and informative way, even when covering negative topics.

And that's the way a lot of writers write. Especially in the past. And those types of sources are probably what AI was trained on.

V, as a character, is a giant dork quoting Shakespeare, constantly explaining things to a captive audience, and being an old-fashioned gentleman. Essentially an obnoxious neckbeard.

Yeah, that's what I like about the joke - you don't even realize what his hand was doing under the table, until the last panel

Oh look, it's the guy from this comic:

I agree. I despise Trump. But removing a lawn and putting in hardscape, in a spot where people often gather for events, is not an insult to heritage or anything like that.

If a president that I otherwise liked did this, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

It's not as if a lawn is super environmentally valuable. And I doubt people spread picnic blankets and play Frisbee on this lawn - they put chairs on it and walk on it with heels and hold events and stuff. A hard surface is the right thing for that type of use.

And if a future president decides to put lawn back in, they can! It's not as blades of grass and sandy growing medium are irreplaceable.

To put joking aside, I have been trying to make a sort of quilt pattern to add to one of my sweatshirts, but I'm not good at sewing and don't have a sewing machine. So I would probably listen to her talk about quilts and how to make the edges look good.

If he had said, "I don't believe you. I think you're denying it publicly, but in secret you have probably already directed your engineers to lay out the groundwork," that would be fine.

He would be accusing her of lying, rather than assuming she was an ignorant female nobody whose knowledge could not compare with his insight of, "but other companies did it."

I don't have a website or social media with comics, unfortunately. I started making these recently to share with friends (as motivation). There is one other comic I posted on Lemmy, but it's in a different style.

Maybe in the future? :)

~~You should interpret it as me making this comic quickly and forgetting to fill in his hair colour in the second panel~~

The magic forest restored his youth.

Also, thank you for the nice compliment!

Done with a nib pen, India ink and sloppy watercolour.

It would be funny if earwax could be expelled intentionally, by clenching our ears and extruding a big ol tube of wax.

I made this comic about a random thought I had.
