Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.

The image is a six panel black and white comic.

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard.

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang

seen a bunch of dudebro types playing dressmaker & getting super into it and that's a positive i think, a reminder that the "feminine" can be of universal interest to everyone, but lmao men can never again pretend to not understand their gf's tastes. you know what a juliette-bishop sleeve is now

I cried so much while playing Forever Ago. I've been with my husband for 12 years and he has made me a better person every day he's been by side. This game makes its player grapple with the impermanence of life, but also the enduring strength of love. My review 👇🏽

For the cost of 100 liters of water and destroying a small forest in the process, you too can make broken shit. Anyway shift to Godot if you haven't yet, it'll be worth it.

❌ AI generated slop menus with pictures that make your food look like worms ✅ scribbles on a piece of paper saying how much the soup cost

4 panel comic: Panel 1: A chef with a wooden spoon talks to a brown dog (bruno). He says “I have a new business!” Bruno answers “cool!” Panel 2: he shows his menu. He says “this is my menu”. We can’t quite read what it says yet Panel 3: a zoom in on the menu. It has just a few lines written on it. Soup: 1. Bread: 1. Soup + Bread: 2. He kept it very simple! Panel 4: He shows Bruno a small pencil. He says “I designed it with this”. Bruno approves and goes “nice!”

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here” Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!” Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much” Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!
