    The joke here is great, but what is really striking to me is how the artist, even with their simple drawing style, perfectly captured the affect of each person pictured. The clerk with a bit of anxiety delivering bad news yet with detached indifference, the other mechanic thinking "goddamit, another one of these. I don't get paid enough...", and the patron just exacerbated exasperated by the whole thing and having to once again make a bad choice from a menu of worse choices.

    I always thought it took much more artistic talent/effort to communicate these feelings, but this comic is an eye opener for me for how simple it is drawn, but how effective in communicating.

      Got it. I wanted to convey that art can be complex even if it is not photorealistic, and appears simple on the surface. It's not necessarily simple to produce either, (more so than a fully rendered painting well, yeah) but imo it's important to aknowledge the skill behind something like this.

      This user you're replying to is IMO either a bot, or feeding an Ai's answers to us via comments.

        This isn't the first time I've been accused of being a bot, nor of using AI. Instead, its the other thing. I'm older. This is just how we talk. Heck, why do you think LLMs talk this way? Because it was trained on people data that talk like I do.

        I don't really use LLMs or AI for regular tasks like posting online. I grew up with the skills to do that

              but imo it’s important to aknowledge the skill behind something like this.

              From my first post that's what I've been doing. I'm not sure why you're taking this thread where I have done nothing but compliment the artist and their skills and try to make it sound like I'm insulting the artist instead. Even with your response here you're doing that again.

                I said "got it" in my previous comment to aknowledge that. I' m not insisting that you aren't in my past comment. I'm explaining why I felt the need reply the way I did. The way I intrerpteted Initially your wording prompted me to write. Just that

                  Gotcha, no hard feelings. I think we both appreciate the art and the artist.

                      Lol. Exactly how I'd expect GPT or Grok to answer. 🤷‍♂️

                        Are you being intentionally evasive, or is that just your "thing"?

                          Isn't that convenient! One lesson you learn as you get older is to simple "let people continue to be wrong". That's what I'll do now. You should probably just block me then because I must be AI, right? I think you'll be doing both of us a favor. Have a great day!
