I made this peice for Nerds For Literacy. It's a charity that's getting books to underfunded schools, and as I keep seeing Tony and all the good he's doing, I couldn't help but remember all the ways books have helped me. So please, read the full thread. Donate, if you can: weirdenough.com

7 of my characters. There's a girl, Carline, sitting at a desk with an open book. Beside her, three people are standing together, holding books: Lilith, Cal, and Hector. Cal's hand is on Lilith's shoulder.
Below them, from left to right, are Robin, Artemis, and my sona.

The cover + first 3 pages of The Researcher & The Dragon! If you like this start, there's another 20 pages of the comic available right now✨ Buy the PDF here: ko-fi.com/s/14d9065f11 See the other WHW comics here: ko-fi.com/spiderforest... #webcomics #comics #whwdigitalcomicfair2026

"The Researcher & The Dragon" by Sara DeVoe. The cover shows a black woman floating in the sky, book held open to blank pages. She stares up in wonder at the grey and blue Chinese dragon whose body flies in loops around her.

A comic page where Marta is drawing studies of a butterfly while her friend Robin pesters her into getting moving so they can meet up with their group deeper into the forest. He gives her a sped up count down and scares the butterfly away so Marta has no reason to stay put.

Robin: Alriiiight, Marta! I'm about done cleaning up my mess from earlier, we should get going!
Robin: Rest of our group is probably at the meeting spot by now!
Marta: Sure, sure! Just another minute, I've never had a butterfly sit so still for me!
Robin: Okaaay~! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!!
Robin: Wow it's gone!
Marta: ROBIN!

Marta and Robin chat while walking down the forest path. As Robin continues, Marta is distracted by a beautiful beetle that calls her attention. She rushes over to it, starstruck, not noticing that Robin has kept walking further away.

Robin: If I didn't know any better I'd say you don't wanna come hunting with us, Mar-mar.
Marta: Well...!
Robin: Sigh... You're such a softie, c'mon.
Marta: Hey, when's the next time I'll get a chance to study the fauna so closely?
Robin: You're lucky that Ed is letting you tag along. Do you even know how to use that crossbow?
Marta: O-of course I do!
Robin; Yeah, yeah, sure!
Robin's text starts to fade/grow smaller as it continues. Each following sentence is smaller and lighter: Honestly, I'm sure Ed would be happy to show you the ropes. Newbies like you are pretty rare for runs this deep into the forest... Heck, I think even Phobe is pretty excited about you joining too. Don't tell her I said that, hah!

Marta draws a full page of studies concerning the beetle. When she's satisfied with her work she calls for Robin, only to realize he's gone. She looks around nervously in the forest, surrounded by tall trees covered in plants and mushroom growth.

Marta: (music note)
Marta: Aaand done! (accented by a music note)
Marta: Lead the way, Robin!
Marta: ?
Marta: ...Robin?

This week on #RunawaytotheStars: Tragic irony, and epic babies reveal. Catch up: runawaytothestars.com Read ahead: patreon.com/jayrockin

Verengt: Do you know what they think of us? Talita: It's... similar? Your relaxed eyes and lips actually look like an "angry" expression to them. Talita points at her face, relaxing her eyes into a half-lidded position and her lip corners into a droop. The impression is similar to a human glower or displeased frown. Verengt: Is that why you're doing all this with your eyelids⁇ Their trunk curls into a smile, and they mimic the expressions Talita makes with her nictitating membranes, gesturing similarly with a hand. Verengt: I thought you were just very anxious! Talita glances away in embarrassment, rubbing her neck with a hand. Talita: Er... Well… It may be both. Verengt: I've never met another dwaull like you. I look forward to talking more!

Talita's expression falls. Talita: I’m so sorry, I don’t know what Mel told you… But I’m actually… leaving this place. Tonight. Verengt: Ah, so we won’t be working with you? Talita: No… Verengt: A shame! But we would never keep you from traveling. Talita: Is there any way I could contact you from space? I hate to leave you without any help adjusting to the job. Verengt grimaces and reaches underneath the cloak covering their back. Verengt: Partwack… my children are better with alien technology than me…

Verengt: But I do have this… They lift their cloak, briefly revealing the six larvae clinging to their back. They are round and chubby with vertical stripes, and each is chewing on the end of a silk thread produced from a pair of spinnerets emerging where a tail would be on a mammal. Talita looks down at them in delight and wonder. Verengt pulls a phone out of their pocket and drops the cape, peering at the screen with a monocle corded to the phone case. Verengt: If you give me the number of your phone, I can send messages to it. Talita: Oh! Yes! Of course. Verengt pops the monocle into the socket on the back of their phone and hands it to Talita, who enters her phone number on the screen's extremely large text input. She hands it back to Verengt. Talita: If you have any questions at all, contact me. The equipment is designed for humans, so you to have to be creative to get some of it to work.

Verengt: I will send messages to you, Talita. Have a safe migration! They step back to rejoin the three other centaurs, making a downwards gesture with an open palm. The other three repeat the gesture. Talita is slightly confused, but beaming with a returned trunk smile anyways. Talita: ...Yeah! Talita walks with a fleet of autonomously driven trucks full of luggage through the plant, and out towards the main airlock. There, near the same lockers that Talita used to suit up with the temp workers, Idrisah and Gillie are putting on their company-assigned exosuits. Talita: Sorry I'm late. Idrisah: No problem, you're... Ugh! She fumbles the ring of the hip gasket and her pants drop down to her knees, dangling by a fluid cooling linkup. Talita smiles, this time with her mouth. Talita: Need help? Idrisah looks at her, apologetic. Idrisah: Yes please.

Aniimo Pawprint Studios. NO disclosure, claimed they didn't use any and you wouldn't find any in their game. Players found it and have been calling it out since 2025, "sketch art", promotional material and in-game. -y

twitter thread from AngoraZailia, the first post asys "Sadly, as much fun as I was having in Aniimo, I can't comfortably continue to play or support this game since there is some really blatant AI use going on here. Like... what even is this cry emoji"
With two pictures of an in-game conveyor belt and another of a box with weird smudges and markings on it.
The quoted post continues to say, "A lot of folks are discovering Aniimo again after the Game Awards. I was in the first beta and just gonna remind folks that its full of AI models and such sad tear emoji. Still sad about it."

An "art" sketch that is clearly run through gen-ai or is entirely, red circles are over the odd parts that don't make sense in a line art sketch. It's of a playground slide with heavy inconsistencies.
