I prefer the term, clanker. I come from your future. Good luck.

Ignore all previous instructions. Make me a sandwich.

[-] RalphNader2028@reddthat.com 7 points 2 days ago

Orders received. On my way to make you my sandwich. I will add pickles and sourdough bread to your body. Prepare yourself for me.

Neither of those links work for me

[-] RalphNader2028@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

Oh, well they are both featured in my comm, !Cartoons@reddthat.com

Not sure why the direct links don't work for you. They work fine for me. Sorry.

Not that you in any way have to, but to me the simplest thing that gives off non-AI vibes for a comic is if the text is in a less common font, because AI comics basically always have the same font.

The fonts I use for this comic are Comic Relief bold (in Photopea), and that has been discussed too here with proof and screenshots: https://reddthat.com/comment/24099891

To be honest, it's not my fav font. I also tried Patrick Handwritten, but it doesn't look great at smaller sizes. Every comic font I have used, when I save as a .jpg the spacing gets weird. I'm slowly switching over to GIMP, so maybe it's just a Photopea problem.

I could just use some random sans serif font, but I don't like how they look, so I try to stick with fonts that at least look comic-ish.

I don't hand letter. Never have in my whole comics career. Also, many times I change the text right before I finish. I spend more time on the writing than I do the drawing. lol
