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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I've seen a number of these now, and I think there's only two in total that were either funny or didn't look pointless.

Art is nice though. I like the designs and colour choices.

Eh, they’re doing better than I could ever do, and that’s aces in my book. 😊

I think that is setting the bar way too low

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

So what?

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah the art is fun but the writing, not so much.

I kinda suspect OP is like 11 and using genAI. The art sophistication seems too advanced for the sense of humor.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I haven't seen GenAI be this consistent yet.

I just don't understand. Am I missing some context? It seems like there are missing panels.

New comic, author's still finding his feet I guess

My attempt to explain in a "story" from the girls perspective, I'm not a writer but I tired....

Twas a bright sunny day as the two children relaxed by the roadside watching the carriages and travelers go about their day. A strange looking young man waddled up to them. While the man begins to speak, the girls eyes are drawn the vibrant red robes. Adorned with outlandish decoration, the likes of which she has only heard of in stories about the King's court. The young lad's words snaps her back to the present, where she concludes this man must be one of the King's famous jesteres.

Cast magic missile, make him dance

Edit: can you make the spell deliberately miss? I tend to avoid playing casters
