I’ve been informed I need to provide artist credit, even if I am the artist.

Credit goes to me. I am the artist. I drew this, took a picture of it, and posted it here. Gaze upon my works.

    Surprisingly, my main takeaway from this was a moment of reflection over what a comic strip even is. Like at first I was thinking “well this doesn’t really seem like a comic strip, but I think avant garde OC should get more leeway”.

    But then I considered the individual elements and realized that I’ve seen them before in works I definitely consider comic strips. Like the joke will just be someone singing song lyrics, or (like in the Dolan comics) the characters will just be memes. And there are kind of quasi-panels to this, which historically weren’t separated by lines.

    That was refreshing, OP; thank you. And it was funny too.

      Thank you for your thoughtful response.

      I have to admit I had my doubts too. I could have just put these words over the Kombucha Girl meme, and called it a day. Then it would not be a comic.

      But by the simple act of redrawing the meme, I get to claim it’s a comic.

      Words and images, paired together, in a way where each hopefully adds something to the other that it doesn’t provide on its own…

      Thank you for accepting my comic <3
