Please don't start with the pizzacake shit here, too π
Such a thin-skinned creator with weirdly obsessive fans. Everything about her online presence makes me uncomfortable.

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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
It's also just not good art. The style is extremely bland, and the humour just... Isn't humorous.
I said it elsewhere, but they all feel like they've been AI generated, but made by a real person. They're wildly uninteresting to look at and painfully unfunny.
Yeah, that's exactly the vibe I get.
Those weird little smiles she draws really freak me out.
gonna be honest, I'd rather have not known about the drama. Separate the art from the artist.
Weird to say that when the artist has made the art the key point in the drama. The 'art' kind of is the drama. Especially the debate on if roughly drawn comics that don't have punch lines even are art. The way I feel about them is as if they're AI slop, but done by a person. Most of them don't even make sense, but get so much attention.
i still don't care about the drama.
Good for you I guess
I know nothing about pizzacake but this particular comic strip is good
Will I get sued if I say pizzacake comics are shit? Because that's what she was threatening to do to a subreddit
Please no vitriolic PCC here, her fans are so toxic
There is so much lore
Leftists are the only one trying to fix the boat. The liberal will say we must compromise with the shooter, and try to vote him out of the boat in four years.
which they will immediately fail by trying to appeal to his cult that will never stop voting for him at the clear and undeniable cost of alienating their own voters. maybe a dick chaney endorsement!!
We need to stop using ambiguous terms like "leftist". It's way too broad and doesn't help anyone. I identify as liberal (also too broad), and I likely believe in 90% of the policies you advocate for.
Liberals are reactionaries who wish to return to a previous status quo. Leftists wish to dismantle the existing systems, and establish a socialist system. Two goals in absolute opposition to each other.
Yeah, that's not the definition of "liberal"
This should be good. Letβs hear your version.
"Fixing the boat" implies they are successfully doing anything other than complain. Leftists are sitting in the boat yelling at the Liberal for not fixing the boat.
I don't understand the point of these paper-thin political comics. They don't make me laugh and they don't have a real message.
People aren't sharing them because they find them funny, they do it to share their political views.
Without realising they're preaching to the choir.
I don't think a comic has to be funny per se. That's why I also pointed out it has no substance. But yes preaching to the choir is a good way to describe what's going on here as well.
Comics don't have to be funny, they can be used to show a message/point of view. A great example I can think of is "Maus".
And if you don't like/get the message, that's fine. To each their own.
Pizzacake definitely isn't funny, nor are their political comics very sharp. Seems more like pandering their fanbase
It's not even satire at this point
can we not do this kind of low-effort slop on Lemmy too?
Shouldnβt be too long before she finds out you canβt sue a lemmy community.
Why does those type of people have such a distinctive ugly face?
Pizzacake characters or right wingers?
I have some trauma because she rules /r/comics with an iron fistfull of mods protecting her from any criticism at all and got litigious about parody edits.
Just don't go to reddit, the only time I see her is when you weirdos post the slop here
I don't anymore, should've used past tense.
Oh well she has her fans too here it seems.
I downvote wherever I see her stuff lol
Same.
Wow fuck her
C&D or actually filing suits?
Parody is explicitly excluded from copyright.
IIRC she threatened to sue bonehurtingjuice moderators, but idk the specifics. BHJ mods caved.
Yeah she was very pro-reddit during the API protests too.
Surprising considering she tried to sue them.
She might be a bit of a dramatic person
So she's the new SrGrafo?
Pizzacake comics are bad, but I'm not aware of the author drawing sexualized images of children like the reddit and Lemmy user SrGrafo does.
Holy shit I had no idea they did that. I was just referring her to how he also is in the "strangely gets to r/all daily" club
Ah Pizzacakes comics are always so fun and entertaining to read.
Edit: wording
Watching the artist have a meltdown on reddit over snark edits was more fun.
Popcorn tastes good
you know, its flippant posts like this that remind me how easy it is to dismiss posters as people.
Even more so, the mountains of salt from people who care way too much about a shitty webcomic.
