He said he had a few months worth of strips ready to go. I don't know if patreon allows you to schedule posts, but probably.

Well, the new strip is up. It’s the worst new one so far, though.

This one was pretty bad except for the update on Megquest. Also Onstad used an AI generated image in there which makes me pretty annoyed.

Yeah but I’m not here to see what a computer draws. Onstad could have easily drawn a fake computer generated image instead of putting more money in the pockets of Silicon Valley tech ghouls.

It’s definitely a nudge towards the door for me. Hopefully Onstad gets the latest idiotic Silicon Valley craze out of his system soon.

Onstad must go back to his old way of writing the strip: shaking a Magic 8 Ball that says either "rad chilies" or "chochacho"

It's a good thing Onstad's tv show didn't get cancelled a couple years earlier or we'd be getting unfunny comics about NFTs instead

Bring back comics about talking drapes and Isambard Kingdom Brunei, is what I say.

It's a shame you feel that way. I saw someone on Ars refer to it as "Schrodinger's AI - Simultaneously incapable of producing anything of value, while taking every job that has any value"

It's here and it's not gonna go away no matter how much we resist it. These things never do. I suppose the bright side is that no artist will ever have to debase themselves to the level of furry porn again, it's quite nice that the AI has given us that.
