It’s time. JFC, people.
Screenshot of my Muted Words list, to which I’ve added “nuzzi” because some people on this site have no impulse control.

A six-panel comic. A character sits by a fireplace reading a book when they’re startled by a WHUMP noise. The character calls out “is someone there?” The scene cuts to a large figure in silhouette standing in an open doorway while rain pours down in the background. A flash of lightning reveals the figure is a giant anthropomorphic McRib sandwich in packaging. The character by the fire stares for a moment, then pulls out a revolver. A shadow falls across their face as they glare. “Why won’t you DIE” they say, cocking the revolver with an audible CLIK.

A digital illustration in black and white. A figure wearing a hooded sweatshirt stands in slightly menacing pose with their back to a number of large glowing screens. The figure is strongly silhouetted by the glow. The hood is up, but we cannot see the figure’s face.

Watch your back, Gary! #webcomic
A four-panel comic. A character looks at their phone and says aloud “man, this AI stuff uses up a LOT of energy.” A second character pops in from the right saying “we have a solution for that!” The second character narrates: “we take the human employees the ai is replacing and convert them into a slurry to cool the ai power plants! Then we filter out the microplastics and use them to build our climate apocalypse yachts!” The first character looks perturbed while the second character waves at a third character in the background. The second character says “Gary over there is FULL of microplastics. Hey Gary!” Gary looks puzzled.

It’s #xenovember? I’ve got a few of those!
Two women in Weyland-Yutani jumpsuits hide in the shadows in the foreground while two xenomorphs stalk a misty corridor in the background. Three xenomorphs emerge from a loading dock door as a woman with a rifle hides around a corner. In the extreme foreground, a remote detonator mine sits on the floor facing the xenos. A woman clutching flamethrower hides in the foreground shadows while an enormous xeno stalks by in the background.

I swear I’m not a purist but I’m just not a fan of modern xenomorph design which has basically made them velociraptors (from space). Thrilling but not creepy.

Gimme a gaunt upright xeno with plantigrade feet that stalks you like Michael Myers (from space).

Some xenos about to get fragged.
A digital illustration: three xenomorph aliens emerge from a loading dock door into a misty corridor bathed in red light from an illuminated panel on the wall. A bloody handprint is smeared across the panel. In the extreme foreground, a claymore mine sits with its business end facing the aliens, an ignition wire running off to the left and out of frame. To the far left the corridor joins another perpendicular corridor, and we can see the silhouette of a woman holding a shotgun, her back to the wall and peering around the corner, awaiting the explosion. Graffiti on the walls read “KEEP QUIET!” and “SHELTER 50m”

Stay low, stay quiet!
A digital illustration. Two xenomorph aliens stalk a misty spaceship corridor while in the foreground two women in crew jumpsuits hide in shadow on either side. The woman on the left holds pry bars as weapons in both hands. She presses her back against some equipment and peers over her right shoulder at the hulking aliens. The woman on the right watches the aliens while crouched behind a stack of chemical drums. On the ground between the women is a pistol lying out in the open. The woman on the right has her left arm extended toward the pistol, poised to grab it.

"Magical Thinking." #webcomic
A four-panel comic entitled "Magical Thinking." A blonde character shows a small carved chest to a red-haired character. The blonde character says "This is Pandora's Box, the mythical source of all human misery and suffering. So we have to be especially careful..." The blonde character trails off speechless as the red-haired character nonchalantly opens the box with a smile. A number of tiny monsters, some winged, some legged, leap from the box and scatter away. The blonde character, now furious, asks "why the HELL did you do THAT?!" The red-haired character drops the box and says smugly, "so I can get rich curing society's ills." The blonde character stares at the red-haired character and asks, "so do you even have a plan?" To which the red-haired character replies, pulling out something that looks like a dismembered furry hand that glows with power, "nah, but i was thinking of using this monkey's paw." https://neathobby.com

Actually I think he might be a great "culture fit." #webcomic
A four-panel comic titled "Nothing Ventured": Two people, one male, one female, are interviewing a candidate for a job. The two interviewers sit at a table. The male interviewer is holding a paper resume, while the female interviewer looks down the table at the candidate, whom we cannot yet see. She has a stern, skeptical look on her face. Male interviewer: Gotta say, this candidate has a great resume. High risk-tolerance...supreme confidence...intense curiosity... In the next panel, we see the candidate sitting at the far end of the table. He is bound in a straightjacked and has a brass bite guard over his face. Female interviewer: I hope you also realize that is Hannibal Lecter, literature's most famous serial killer. Are you sure we should hire him? Male interviewer: Hmm...yeah, i see your point. And yet... In the final panel, we see Hannibal Lecter has managed to put on a blue hooded sweatshirt and is muttering a bunch of techbro buzzwords. Lecter: 9-6-6! MCP! Blockchain! MVP! Engagement! 🚀 Male interviewer: Ooh look! he's wearing a hoodie! and making pleasing sounds! i think we've found our guy!

The Vibe Doctor will see you now. #webcomic
A four-panel comic: a dialogue between a surgeon and a patient on a gurney. Surgeon: Okay, let's get this procedure underway... Patient: Wait, why am I still awake?! Surgeon: Good job! I did in fact neglect to apply anesthesia! Surgeon: Here's why that's bad: 💥 You'd endure astonishing pain. 😭 Your piteous screams would distract me. ⚖️ I'd definitely be shed and lose my license. Patient: Are you using chatgpt to perform surgery?! Surgeon: Hang on, i'm asking it how anesthesia works.

I did in fact neglect to apply anesthesia!” A panel from a comic: a blond figure sits at table looking intrigued, while a brunette figure stands at the table side looking cross. They are both facing the reader, looking at something we cannot see. The blond figure is saying: “hmm…yeah, I see your point. And yet…”
