I have a new 40-page comic book out that is a love letter to the brain, a visual exploration of the joys of thinking and perceiving, and also giant middle finger to AI, on sale today, too, for $6 alexandragallant.itch.io/brains
Page from BRAINS First Panel: "An AI has no sense of anything. No context. No experience." Illustration of a little pink frog (he's playing a blood cell in this comic, though, which is why he's pink) Second panel: "It cannot touch" the pink frog bends down to pick a flower Third panel: "It cannot smell" 'sniff sniff' the frog smells the flower Fourth panel: "It cannot breathe" (the frog is now dark blue with bright pink lungs visible, as though the frog has been imaged in some way) Fifth panel: "It cannot think" (the frogs brain is now visible, similarly to the lungs in the previous panel) Sixth panel: "It cannot be" the frog is floating and his cute lil butt is visible Seventh panel: "*Stares directly at camera*" the pink frog stares directly at camera Eight panel: "It cannot be... YOU" Two pages from a comic I'm working on Page 1 is a single panel 'It can feel like plucking fruit off a tree... and seeing what's inside' Illustration of a branch of a tree with peaches on it, and a cross section of a peach, instead of a pit, there is a brain Page 2 is 4 panels Panel 1: "...and sometimes" text over an illustration of a peach Panel 2: "it's a pit" (cross section of a peach, with the pit visible) Panel 3: "or a worm" (a fruit with a worm poking out of it) Panel 4: "but sometimes... it's a universe" the brain/pit in the peach from the previous page is zoomed in and now has rings around it like a planet in space
