Ouch, this hits home.

About 80 years ago an industrial problem like this was a “told you so”. We talk about cheap overseas manufacturing, but they are still 80 years ago in industrial hygiene some places. If you lost a finger you could lose your job.
This is why manufacturing costs less in some places, because they have a company janitor working a the nurse, and dont have OSHA (the US safety standards) or Unions watching out for you.

A strip where, apropos of nothing, the punchline is "Dustin is such a little cuck bitch beta poo poo." Ziggy doesn't have the level of contempt for its titular character that Dustin does...and the conceit of Ziggy is "He's a loser."

Which reminds me, I recently ran across my old book of Snake comics and have been meaning to scan and post it. Let's just say it turns the whole "everybody hates the loser protagonist" thing up to 11.

I've got my father's great big six-shooter with me 'n' if anybody in this woods wants to start somethin' just let 'em--but they DASSN'T.
I asked one of the chat AIs to write a story about Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald getting drunk and spending the day starting trouble. It threw back a few paragraphs of them skimming rocks across a lake until a cop ran them off. The day it gives me a story that ends in a fist fight (at least) is the day we're truly doomed.

RE: AI, it doesn't help that people have a bad habit of anthropomophizing what at present is essentially a very fancy autocomplete. ChatGPT doesn't "know" anything or have the ability to judge if something is correct, it's just spewing out what its training set says is a statistically likely set of words for your query. (plus some attempted safeguards against various things the devs don't want you making it say)

There's a good joke in the glossy fakeness of AI-generated hentai and the line about the T-600s having rubber skin in The Terminator but that requires knowing things beyond the surface about popular culture and modern tech, not skills newspaper readers or most comic artists have.

I kinda want a crossover with Invisible Scarlet and FOOB and how she takes care and saves all the kids and John and the dogs from the insane mother.


as for Dustin, of COURSE it's a fancy "foreign" place with tiny servings and not real American food like pizza fried cheeseburgers and milkshakes with chunks of cookie in them like the dad likes. Women like foreign French food (foreign like other white people not weird other people) and men like good food! With waitresses in skimpy outfits! Sports on every TV! So hard to enjoy things these days!
