The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

Grounded superhero adaptations that on the surface seem disdainful of and embarrassed by their source material but once you watch them you realize the creators have nothing but respect for the comics and take these characters seriously

Peppermarcie comic :)

Comic starring peanuts characters Peppermint
Patty and Marcie
P1: patty says "I was thinking, what if Chuck starts dating one of us and then he goes in for a kiss? We're completely inexperienced!"
P2: patty grabs marcie by the shoulders and says
"Marcie! We only have one option, we have to practice with each other! Kiss me!" Marcie says "of course, sir"
P3: they kiss
P4: marcie is wiping off her glasses, saying "By the by, this is the 10th time you've asked to practice kissing, sir. You're allowed to just kiss me y'know."
Patty is blushing with her hands in her face, she is telling marcie to shuddup

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

Thinking of the Cornell gang rape case and how every system seems built to allow men to abuse women without concern. You can face more punishment for holding a “Stop Genocide” sign than being a rapist because the future of a rapist is the foundation to the structure of this fucked up system.

We don't use the term "genocide" too much. In fact, based solely on the legal definition, I'd argue we use it far too little. Maybe if we were quicker to label atrocities as genocides, we would have fewer atrocities.

the problem isn't that production time takes too long. the problem is that artists are underpaid and overworked. you don't need genAI to solve the production problem; you need to funnel that money to paying people a liveable wage.

Getting seen is a pain - comics are a VERY insular space. We're trying to get enough hands to be able to push outside of that together. A lot of people won't follow people off of Tapas or Webtoons We should expect more support out of our readers and the whole wheel effort tries to promote that.

Regarding the whole news with TAPAS - Wheel of Webcomics IS NOT and WILL NEVER be a comic hosting site. We are here to try and drive traffic to OTHER comic sites through our zines, website and community events. It's a lot closer to indie comics press than anything else.
