Why does this look like AI slop? Look at the text in the first panel ("idioc Maroot ... Kim"?) and the inconsistencies of the protagonist.

Edit: Jeebus Crisp. I wasn't claiming that it was AI slop. Cool it with the downvotes. 🙄

The artist goes by "Kim" and he wrote in the corner "Idee: Margot," because his wife Margot came up with the idea for the cartoon. They are Belgian, not AI.

"They are Belgian, not AI." Going to have to start incorporating this into my speech.

To be fair, something in that corner with "Idee: Margot" has changed between the original and this meme.

It's not. Here's an article about it and the original https://www.lambiek.net/artists/d/duchateau_kim.htm

It is a very old cartoon. I can't explain the text though.

[-] Saapas@piefed.zip 1 points 4 months ago

It's actually from 2016, apparently (if the article is correct). The style makes it look old though
