"the guy on the internet who says 'piss' in the stuff he's making for fun (onto which i have chosen to pay to plaster my brand) damages my brand more than me willingly putting it on the same level as malware, scams, and slop"
A four-panel comic of the Physical Manifestation of Corporate Greed (a cliche Tumblr Sexyman made of tech company logos), who speaks in all caps. GREED: (looming over viewer and pointing downwards) You there. Youtuber. GREED: (leaning forward, hand scandalously held over its face in mock surprise) Did you say the word "sex" in any context whatsoever? Salacious story? Freshman biology lesson? In a passing joke? GREED: (swooning like an anemic Victorian woman) Demonetized! We can't show ads on such scandalous smut! What if a consumer sees a product existing next to a morally neutral act of nature and thinks that means the brand endorses it?! What could be worse than that?! In the final panel, it stands wordlessly in front of a KFC ad, which is nestled amongst ads for fake dark web crypto casinos, an AI chatbot with much more lewd "flirty" text, and racist clickbait.

it's Morris Day.......
Sketches of Morris (a robot) quoting some Tumblr posts. In the first, they give a violently emotionless stare and use an unusually robotic voice to declare, "I hope a webp image feels the equivalent of human pain when I convert it to a png image" The second, they pose uncertainly with a hand on their hip, averting eye contact, and say, in a more human font, "never 'look inside' yourself btw i just tried it and there was already someone in there looking back it was so awkward" In the third, they sit distantly on the floor, looking very small and somewhat frustrated. This is captioned, "just realized i am not mysterious. i have poor communication skills."

Mental Image That Would Not Go Away So It Got Hastily Drawn During Lunch 2, aka 11110000 10011111 10010110 10010101
A four-panel comic drawn in pencil. A pickup truck swerves to cut off a car, which prompts the driver to press on the horn. Rather than honking, the car communicates, "pwease use youw tuwn signaw uwu~" with an excessive amount of hearts and sparkles. The truck responds by using the blinkers to signal back a lengthy string of binary code, representing a single middle finger emoji.

It's Wednesday, or as I like to call it:

Thursday
A redraw of a Sailor Moon screenshot where Usagi looks up sadly at someone off-screen, instead depicting an OC in a pink dress and deep magenta hair in heart-shaped afro puffs. Her eyes have a broken heart symbol in them. A redraw of a Neon Genesis Evangelion screenshot where Asuka is angrily reaching out with one hand and clutching the side of her face with the other in a way that implies an eye injury, instead depicting an OC with a blue, star-themed skinsuit. She has blond hair in a pixie cut.

Domino effect meme, where "The Seventh Sally, or How Trurl's Own Perfection Led to No Good" by Stanisław Lem apparently causes "Na Na Na (Simlish Version)" for The Sims 3 by My Chemical Romance/EA Games.

I did this in like half an hour on my lunch break.
A four-panel comic drawn in pencil on paper. Panel 1: Close-up of a phone open to a GPS app. It announces, "Animal reported on shoulder ahead." Panel 2: A pirate captain at the wheel looks excitedly at the phone. Panel 3: The captain turns to another pirate, who gives two thumbs up. There is indeed a parrot on his shoulder. Panel 4: The ship crashes directly into a colossal squid.

Unfortunately, I am not back on my blather because I have not stopped being on it yet. Here's more of those two, not that I'm apologizing. Bazooper. Eggbongo. Zimbabwe.
Sketch of two cartoon robots in lab coats, blue and red respectively, with the former smugly quoting an anonymous Tumblr ask sent to user orteil42 to the other: you seem like you unironically enjoyed electroswing circa 2012

And, of course, the logical conclusion to such a bit, for balance.
A rough drawing of a robot falling down a flight of stairs, captioned, "[CENSOR] IM FALLING DOWN ALL THESE STAIRS.........", a gag from Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

Epic Gamer Webcomic From 2004
A page of sketches of cartoon robots recreating frequently-memed comic panels, specifically Pop Team Epic's "Aah, so it's like that, huh. I understand everything now. (doesn't get it at all)," "Arrested for [treason]," and "Your [clone] life ends thirty minutes from now," as well as the Powerup Comics panel, "As far as I'm concerned, all marriage is 'gay' marriage." The image as a whole is composed to resemble the Ctrl+Alt+Del strip "Loss".

Okay, time for a quick break from comics! :) *enables FireAlpaca Animation Mode as someone who is not an animator*

Everyone else I follow seems to have given up on hourlies.

This means I win.
9PM, Panel 1: A person kneeling on a carpet with loose hair, straight (as though the person was soaked). Labels say, "SUDDENLY SLEEPY" and "(Being Brave About It)" 10PM, Panel 2: The same person at a laptop, looking ridiculously emotionless and doing nothing else, labeled "yootoop 👍". 11PM, Panel 3: Drawn outside the panel, the person (now more composed and with braided hair) says, "I'm just gonna hit the hay when the clock strikes midnight. Here's doodles I made while listening to videos. I really wanna draw some of the Fun Stuff right now." There's a little bit of abstract scribbling in neon blue, followed by the text "nevermind i somehow lost all steam as soon as i sat down to do it". At the very bottom of the page is the same stretched portrait of Howard Big Bang Theory from earlier in the thread and the word "bazinga".

6PM, Panel 1: Someone eating, captioned, "The meringues are actually pretty good. There's just less air than there should be." Panel 2: Dinner, a plate of chicken. Panel 3: The person sits at the table, unhappy. Text explains, "spent all this time cooking it but medication has a side effect that ruins one's appetite and therefore doesn't feel like eating despite needing it" 7PM, Panel 4: The person eats "baby carrots, another apple". 8PM, Panel 5: The person sits at a desk, drawing in a book. Flaming text explains, "STORYBOARDING"

4PM, Panel 1: The person resumes drawing while loud noises are in the background, thinking, "I should maybe storyboard some more for Can of Worms... Or maybe write..." Panel 2: The other person returns, saying, "I now know why your mom failed to make meringues." 5PM, Panel 3: The person squints into a toaster oven, full of doughy meringues. Panel 4: They stand up as their name is called. Panel 5: They approach a TV, labeled "Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)". The person watching asks, "Who's the guy playing piano?" Panel 6: They squint again at the screen. Panel 7: The TV displays a promotional image of Simon Helberg as Howard Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory.

A very eventful 3PM.
3PM, Panel 1: A person sits happily at their laptop with headphones on, with the sparkly text, "Internet friends!~" Panel 2: They're startled back to attention by the laptop declaring, "HEY THAT HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND YOU HAVEN'T INTERACTED WITH IN YEARS SAW THAT CYBERIAD COMIC" Panel 3: An envelope is handed over from out of view. The deliverer asks, "Were you expecting mail?" The person on the laptop goes, "Oh! Renewed license!" The deliverer adds, "get a job btw". All this dialogue, and the rest of the dialogue on the page, has chevrons to indicate it is being said in another language. Panel 4: In a new setting, two people are speaking off-panel ("I'll be back by three." "It's already after three!"). The person is stirring a cup, which is labeled "new tea bc old cup SUCKED". Panel 5: Someone standing over the sink asks, "Has it been this windy at home all day?" The person with tea says, "Ehh... It was worse earlier..." Panel 6: They're startled when the person at the sink adds, "By the way, for the past two weeks, I've planned to make meringue."

12PM, Panel 1: Brunch! A drawing of an apple next to a plate of two fried eggs and a bread load that's been sliced in half. 1PM, Panel 2: A person using a laptop while wearing headphones. Text explains, "Playing Animal Jam. Got membership for Christmas for the first time ever, so I've been playing a certain adventure to earn the stuff I want for when I become nonmember again. ...or stuff I can sell so I can buy the good stuff from someone else..." Panel 3: A cartoon owl looking angrily at a necklace labeled "CHEAP TRASH". 2PM, Panel 4: The person looks out of a window. Text explains, "Everyone got home early!"

This is a blasphemous amount of text to put in a comic.

(I was not told to clean the house. I did it to be nice.)
11AM: A drawing of a person vacuuming. There's a long explanation at the top that says, "I actually tried participating back in high school, but I couldn't follow through with it. Part of that was because I had my "studniówka" that day. It's like prom for Polish students and held 100 days before their matriculation exam. Of course, mine was "fake". I'm an American in America. My supplementary school just rented out a nice venue to indulge us. Not that I felt indulged. I'm not a party person, I had no friends, and I hate being dolled up. But it wasn't bad. Just boring. I didn't know what to draw during the rare moments I had to myself, or really have the energy, despite thinking it'd make for an interesting read. Today is another studniówka, which my mom is attending as an authority of sorts, so she's out of the house all day. So I'm cleaning the house."

I have decided to do Hourly Comic Day.
Sketchy comics drawn in shades of periwinkle (faded blue-purple). 8AM, Panel 1: A phone screen at an angle, with a Bluesky feed announcing Hourly Comic Day. Panel 2: A person in bed, holding said phone, with the text, "Oh. Right." 9AM, Panel 3: A person with a ponytail, wearing a hoodie and fuzzy boots. The text explains, "Dressed! Wish I had a cooler outfit to draw..." Panel 4: The person stands in a kitchen with a cup of tea. The text explains, "I finished college a semester early, so I'm stuck at home. Yay." 10AM, Panel 5: The person sits at an art tablet, wearing headphones. A faded arrow clarifies that they are holding their lefthand wrist (poised over a remote of hotkeys) at a 90-degree angle. There are several long paragraphs of narration, reading, "I was torn about making this, since this would likely be boring and I finally crossed this off my artistic bucket list last year anyway. But I think having something to do and seeing how much my routine has changed now that I'm here might be good for me. Also, it's a little funny to me how this year's hourly day falls."

Panel 1: The two robots continue to stare blankly up at the machine. Panel 2: They look at each other with slightly more concern. Panel 3: Klapaucius turns away, sheepish, both hands behind his back. "Perhaps... they won't find out, perhaps they won't notice."

Splash panel: The two look up at the machine as it explains again, "Take a good look at this world, how riddled it is with huge, gaping holes, how full of Nothingness, the Nothingness that fills the bottomless void between the stars, how everything about us has become lined with it, how it darkly lurks behind each shred of matter. This is your work, envious one! And I hardly think the future generations will bless you for it..."

Panel 1: "please return the zits, for without them life loses all its charm..." Klapaucius is accompanied by flowers and sparkles for extra innocence. Panel 2: The machine responds, "But I can't, they're in z." Klapaucius scowls up at it. Panel 3: It continues, "Of course, I can restore nonsense, narrowmindedness, nausea, neerophilia, neuralgia, nefariousness and noxiousness. As for the other letters, however, I can't help you." He points angrily, knocking Trurl off-balance, and shouts, "I want my zits!" It says, "Sorry, no zits."

Panel 1: The machine explains, "Klapaucius, don't pretend to be a greater idiot than you are. Had I made Nothing outright, in one fell swoop, everything would have ceased to exist, and that includes Trurl, the sky, the Universe, and you - and even myself. In which case who could say and to whom could it be said that the order was carried out and I am an efficient and capable machine?" Panel 2: "And if no one could say it to no one, in what way then could I, who also would not be, be vindicated?" it concludes. Klapaucius facepalms and says, "Yes, fine, let's drop the subject. I have nothing more to ask of you, only please, dear machine,"
