    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.

      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.

            It’s actually multiple small comics on one common theme.

            Would assembling them vertically be the preferred format here?

              As far as I can tell, it seems that way. But take that with a grain of salt. I haven’t contributed anything of my own. I only speak as an experienced user.

          Yup
