I agree, the conduct is disrespectful irrespective of the tool wielded.

That's a fair point. Personally, I'd consider use of generative ai to copy someone's work like this to be a form of labor theft if it's done without their advance permission. Given that ai is trained on art without compensation to artists so it can replace them, it seems like it devalues art.

That's rotten, makes me think of the Simpsons episode where the voice of road runner got paid for "meep" and the cheapskate studio just looped it for the classic "meep meep". Fooling aside, it's labor theft for real!

Your art is so good! I love how your versions of other artist's characters manage to be perfect renditions whilst still completely in your own style.

Nice! I like the human lunchable's expression, he kinda looks like he's half reluctantly agreed to be eaten.

Hakeem's correction here manages to be an even worse stance, a black hole of charisma.

A feral cat army that knows karate would be a rad comic. Also, I'm looking forward to getting your next book from Fantagraphics! Will also put in a purchase request for the library I work at.

Gee whiz! At this rate, democrats are going to run out of paper from all the sternly written letters - then we'll really be in the dickens of a pickle.

I was homeschooled, so did not see one in person, but when I was 10 or so, I sneak rented a Beavis and Butthead collection on VHS from the blockbuster, and they stole one of these in an episode. So proxy watching whatever they watched is my first.

This is Klippenstein's fault. He bullied Schumer and now the poor helpless sod has cried himself into dehydration because he's afraid he'll get primaried.

Each of those bunker buster bombs weighs 30,000 pounds. Don't know how many were dropped, possibly hundreds of thousands of pounds of bombs. Clearly an act of war, illegal outside congressional authorization. Dems have no plan for dealing with this. Most of them are warmongers too.

10/10 would not pet or touch. Dogs have a gross tongue, expect it to be worse in this form. We need some mix of cat and owl to hunt and destroy this menace.

I hope they remembered to print it on laid cotton paper and use 16 pt font, lest their little missive fail to garner due consideration from the intended recipient.
