Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The comic's creator, whose OC is on the left, cares about art and finds the AI generated Ghibli fakes to be soul-less and a net negative to the world. It makes him want to kill himself.
Kill himself, but also killing the person who used the soulless machine to ape that iconic art style.
Hes killing them through himself. He wants to exact both vengeance and to cease to be at the same time.
Ah yes, murder-suicide is a perfectly reasonable response to your friend doing something artistic that you disagree with.
"Doing something artistic", as if there's anything artistic about shoving a likely lovingly taken picture into one of these slop machines.
