I've had luck getting a bunch of easy-to-read manga from our online library and opening those instead of social media platforms. It gives me the same easy instant gratification, but feels like a better use of time.

I'm excited for the drama that will come out of the inevitable leaked set of rules. The number of hours that will go into making those!

I thought the same thing! There are so many examples of brands doing 'user-generated content' and it going terribly for them, then Disney of all places deciding to jump in feet first for the AI version of this?

My favourite slice of life comics:
Hakumei and Mikochi: Pastoral and adorable life of tiny humans. A+ art
Flying Witch: Daily life of witches living in modern Japan. Great world-building without being dense
Laid-Back Camp: High-school girls go camping
A Man and His Cat: handsome older man and a cat!

Comic page in black and white with grey textures. Jigen has Zenigata in his gun's viewfinder and says "Hey I got that dopey inspector in my sights."  Lupin yells "NO! YOU CAN'T!" and the viewfinder blurs and moves away from Zenigata's head.  Jigen asks "Lupin! What're you--?! What's the problem, he--"  We see Lupin holding Jigen's sniper rifle down as the two sit on a roof together. Lupin responds "He's important to-- he's important to the plan!"  The two go silent and Jigen pulls his large gun close to his chest.

A close-up on Jigen as he looks over to Lupin, realising that Lupin has feelings for Zenigata.  We zoom out again, the two men are small against the top the roof wall. Jigen says "You got it, boss."

Love how this one turned out! We didn't originally mean to collab, but when I heard Amiel's idea the whole comic came to me in a flash and he graciously agreed to let me script it.
