I wish comics would go back to being funny. Everting is dark and snarky now. The world sucks enough as it is. Now things we went to for distraction from it are just illustrating it even more.

Couldn’t quickly tell how to do alt text from my phone app but it’s an old newspaper comic called Pogo, in which two anthropomorphic animals are speaking while traversing a bog.
First panel:
Porky Pine (a porcupine): Ah Pogo, the beauty of the forest primeval gets me in the heart.
Pogo (a possum): It gets me in the feet, Porkypine.
Second panel, characters sitting, looking out over a part of the bog used as a dump, a visually unparseable sprawl of assorted rubbish:
Porky: It is hard walkin’ on this stuff.
Pogo: Yep, son, we have met the enemy and he is us.

Now it’s as if he doesn’t want to have a nice day

Maybe we should devote a sub to sappy edits of dark/snarky things that are brain-rottingly sweet or completely ruin the point of the original

Art often reflects society. There are plenty of artists who don’t do this.

USER: I made a comic. Make it better!
CHATGPT4:
can confirm, you did indeed make it better. not the it I meant, but certainly a proximate, relevant it was selected.
USER: Make it even better!
CHATGPT4:
How about this?
Yeah, it’s sad that everything doesn’t have to cater only to what I like.
Probably best to just filter this shit out of my feed.
Maybe we should just filter all of the shit out of our feeds!
