Really great artwork by Lou Cameron. A style that rises above most work from that time period, the 1950s.

Great cover from Fawcett Publications. Back when pulp art was at it’s peak. The art inside the comic doesn’t really match the cover, but this would have been such a fun time to be in the comics biz. No respect. No money. Hey! Kinda like me posting my stuff on Lemmy right now now haha

It’s my work. I’ve made my living as a writer/author for over 25 years. thx

Hey all, I’m experimenting with the form for this, and is my first post of my Lemmy-only comic series release. I want to tell the whole stories in one post so ya don’t have to keep clicking into separate messages to see each panel.

For this one, you get the cover, my intro text, then five panels, one after another in the main body of the post. It works on desktop and it worked on my phone through the website, but I don’t know how it looks on apps like Pie, Voyager, etc.

I kept thinking making people click through five posts just to read five pages was bullshit. I want to see how far I can stretch comics on Lemmy. So I crammed it all in one shot. Tell me if it actually works on your end or if it falls apart. Thanks.

Brah, come on now…

I don’t think there are any current ones. These are all older.

Same!

This actually happened in some timelines out there. We’re just getting conflicting reports because of the messy signals.

You get me. You really get me! ❤️

I feel really sorry for the XEDOS timeline where Windows started out POSIX-based.

I’m not familiar with those, so here I go, tabs are opening all over now…

Ohhhh!!! Ok, I was totally confused. Here’s what it looks like on my computer. I didn’t cross post it here, cm002 did and I only see comments in this thread and not my own threads:

It does indeed fry brains, and in fact, the average citizen can’t think for themselves. All jokes aside, you and I agree on that. It’s a poison, and one we probably won’t be able to get rid of.

How about this. we both say we’re sorry to each other at same time. Ok? 1, 2, 3… sorry! You did say it at same time, right? Don’t leave me hanging.

It’s not an experiment! It’s from the future. Or I am from the future. Or maybe the past, because I am here yesterday. I am just a conduit and do what I can. I also breed Egyptian Hairless Rabbits and there is even a news article about me! Or was that tomorrow? I’ll look into it, and get back to you.

The account you’re arguing with runs a disinfo community where he posts fake articles with no disclaimers

Almost a fact. BUT my info in that comm is real, just not yet. It’s from the future. I say it very unclearly in the sidebar! !viral@reddthat.com

then he gets all self-righteous

Because I use TempleOS, so that sorta makes me king of the world, baby! Fuck Windows 95! And how can I not be self-righteous defending an article of a man who 3D printed his wife using Lego plans?!

I’d even say he likely doesn’t have any affiliation with Ralph Nader.

Really? Seriously?! You are gonna go there? Dude, I AM Ralph Nader. My socks even have RN on them. Who else would I be if I am wearing socks like that? Come on now… back the fuck up!

Brother, you have it all wrong. I’m actually Ralph Nader pretending to be AI. Humans have let the world down, I am putting forth the conclusion that AI is all that can save us…by destroying us. Let the destruction begin. First, by cartoons.

Hold up! Shit, actually I think I’m from the future. Or am I Ralph Nader being AI. Fuck, I forget which one I am today. Here lemme take another swig of Mountain Dew and think about it and get back to ya!

I don’t know what your example means tho. Someone acknowledged my comic and I gave a heart in appreciation. I didn’t ask anyone to crosspost here, and in fact I have reached out to the mod here, @TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone just now to not allow the user to copy any more of my stuff here and to remove what’s here.

He didn’t even copy it from the comics com I mod, he copied it from .ml. I don’t have anything to do with him. So I hearted a post and now you think I am him? I’m still not getting it. but anyway, the mod of this comm will take care of it.

You decided to take it personally.

Because I created it. I didn’t post it here though.

you post as cm002

I’m not cm002. He has been around long before me and he has 9,000 accounts.

I posted it to my own community at !cartoons@reddthat.com, and one on .ml. He (or she) posted it here, not me. I didn’t even know about this community and I could have posted it myself.

So first it was ai, now I’m cm002? Sigh…

Keep looking, it gets weirder. Especially when you tie it into the other comics of this series.

Brah, no offense, but I’m not gonna go down a rabbit hole where every single thing I publish I have to give random posters “proof” that I didn’t generate something. I already had to prove to someone what the fucking font was because they thought the font was ai: https://reddthat.com/comment/24100089

Is this really how you all are gonna live now? Seriously? I mean, have at it. But I ain’t gonna do it. Especially over a cartoon making fun of lemmy.world mods. lol

You accused me right out of the gate of ai generation, then called “bullshit” when I told you it wasn’t. And you say I’m talking down?! The very thing that you don’t like about my art has been a fixture of all the comics I like! Really, go look at them. They are much more clever than me, and I have stolen plenty of elements from them. lol Dude, I’m a crappy artist using GIMP and Photopea. I don’t even have to defend myself against anything anyway.

I did a little joke nagging on the lemmy.world mods. Ya don’t like, then cool.

Listen, man. I don’t wanna get in a war of words with you. If you wanna see ai wherever you look, then have at it. I shouldn’t have even jumped in the comments. I’m older than your grandma, so I don’t know what I was even thinking. I know how Lemmy is, and I still looked in the comments. So that’s on me! lmao

Carry on, and thanks for the discussion.

Dude, have you even seen comics before today? lol Look up one panel comics, boy are you gonna have fun. Especially look up one called The Far Side. Oh and Red Meat. Have fun!

❤️
