Any digital platform hosting Gen AI "art" comics should be a pariah in our community. Stop enabling this, folks.
It has now been THREE MONTHS and GlobalComix has not
-released a public statement and apology to affected
-given an action plan for changing things
-changed their TOS to not allow AI comics (as promised)

If they have done any of these things and I missed it I would LOVE for people to show me.

A superb prose story was behind the cover image of The Real Ghostbusters and the team up we’d all been waiting for arrived in Transformers and Action Force! Do you remember any of the details of this week’s issues?

Released in 1988, the OiNK Smokebuser Special was only available to school kids in the north of England. Fortunately, I got my trotters on it for the OiNK real time read through and reviewed it on the blog on this day in 2023: oink.blog/2023/01/18/o... 🚭🐽
