This ratfuckery wears on you. Remember: The trail is blazed.

β€œI suddenly discover
to my surprise, that
I am neither the only one,
nor the first,
nor the most important one
to have set out
upon that road.
Whether all is really lost
or not depends entirely on
whether or not I am lost.”

I know it’s tempting, but please don’t share or like AI-generated art. Follow, share and support actual cartoonists and illustrators. Thank you.
