There's something magical about a comic made by someone who hasn't quite yet committed themselves into a categorizable niche. Although, the surreal disorganized format (which I like) being juxtaposed with a very direct critique/observation on societal structure, for me at least feels a little non-complimentary. I'd love to see more, particularly experimentation in obfuscating your messages. Overall, I liked it.

I'm kinda out of the loop. Can someone explain this comic to me?

Anyone else have no idea why this is so downvoted?

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Because it's a clickbaity ad to their website that blames it on Lemmy's technical limitations, when they could have put additional images it in the description field.

So people would rather downvote than tell me I'm doing it wrong and teach me the right way?

Sorry but I haven't been on Lemmy for long, and I have not yet seen a multipanel comic in this community.

What's the correct procedure, placing image tags in the description field, where I placed the transcript?

My apologies for "advertising" for a website that has no ads, tracks no user data, and sells nothing.

And I thought I was the smug one.

Why not just continue down? Lots of people post long panel comics. Something like this:
