Sketch of Trurl tearfully quoting (his book of origin), "Please don't try to lighten the mood, because my soul hurts with a realization as true as it is depressing. I have come to the conclusion that in the entirety of our busy lives, we've never done anything valuable!" The next panel reveals Klapaucius standing in front of a cartoonish wall of trophies, ribbons, and certificates, asking, "What makes you say that?"
Sketch of Porfirio with a frenzied expression saying, "I need to get into cars." Carol leans out from behind him and says, "They have doors which help with this." Porfirio turns around with a much more casual expression and raises a hand to say, "Most of them are locked Ive only gotten lucky like twice"
Cartoon sketch of a bright green anthropomorphic alligator with blonde hair, a daffodil hair accessory, tattoos, denim shorts, and a crop top tied at the front.
Art Fight 2026 promo card for Team Tragedy.
A character drawn using the prompt "RUSTIC" and the sandwich, bunny head, and carousel horse emojis. They're a centaur with the upper half of an anthro bunny, carrying a basket of bread. The art style somewhat resembles Sylvanian Families/Calico Critters.
A character drawn using the prompt "LEGAL" and the strawberry, raincloud with sun, and joker card emojis. They're a "court jester", a clown lawyer, with puffy clothes.
A drawing of a shiny Jirachi in a bow tie with its arm stretched towards the viewer, positioned on a very chaotic dark background of neon shapes. A glyph behind it resembles the Gravity Falls zodiac wheel overlaid with the symbol of Arceus, but the spaces instead say "MAKE A WISH" in Unown runes. Jirachi is posed limply and only the eye on its torso is visible, resembling Bill Cipher.
Drawing of Amy with a catlike expression and wide eyes, with a question mark over her head.
Four pictures of the same page in various states of progress. The first is a grid of very rough pencil thumbnail sketches, the second depicts it cropped into FireAlpaca with a digital sketch and Minecraft screenshots in the background, the third shows the clean panel layout/text and lineart, and the final one has colors and a background.
Comic splash page of a robot on the floor, surrounded by photos of themself acting destructively.
A drawing of three people floating in space, meant to represent the satellite POV characters of 17776. Nine and Ten are dressed in a more retro 1960s fashion with dresses, while Juice has a hoodie and more contemporary haircut. Each of them has satellite-like headgear. Nine floats closest to the screen, while Ten is posed as though speaking to them, facing the Earth. Juice is playing with Lunchables. The background consists of posterized photos of Earth, a galaxy, and a football field.
Comic cover with a Microsoft Windows 98 theme. Morris (robot with a green monochrome monitor for a head and loopy cable hair) stands over and behind two windows with Zach and Amy (human kids wearing pink/green and blue/orange, respectively) near the bottom. The background (clouds over a teal field) is very distorted and glitchy/staticky with two silhouettes hidden in it.
A video of the Disney Channel sitcom "Good Luck Charlie". A married couple sits on the couch. The wife is writing something on a piece of paper while the husband takes a sip from a mug.
Four-panel comic titled "Cute Animal Videos You See Online". The first panel depicts a smiling young man recording himself feeding a steak to a bear outside, captioned "feeding the wildlife lol, he's so cute and friendly 🥺, i feel sooo safe ♥" The second panel depicts a cat stylized like an analog horror shadow entity looming over a petrified cartoon rabbit. The caption says, "my pet apex predator loves playing w my pet prey animal!! ♥" The third panel depicts a possum with three arms, two tails, too many fingers with an uneven distribution, and a distorted face, seemingly playing basketball with an orange. The caption says, "lol why he ballin 😂" At the very bottom is an AI watermark that has been poorly edited out. The fourth panel depicts a smiling young woman holding a "smiling" (aggressive) monkey for the camera. The captions say, "meet my pet undomesticated animal that i acquired via the illegal pet trade that's endangering the species as a whole!!! i feel sooo safe ♥"
A four-panel comic of the Physical Manifestation of Corporate Greed (a cliche Tumblr Sexyman made of tech company logos), who speaks in all caps. GREED: (looming over viewer and pointing downwards) You there. Youtuber. GREED: (leaning forward, hand scandalously held over its face in mock surprise) Did you say the word "sex" in any context whatsoever? Salacious story? Freshman biology lesson? In a passing joke? GREED: (swooning like an anemic Victorian woman) Demonetized! We can't show ads on such scandalous smut! What if a consumer sees a product existing next to a morally neutral act of nature and thinks that means the brand endorses it?! What could be worse than that?! In the final panel, it stands wordlessly in front of a KFC ad, which is nestled amongst ads for fake dark web crypto casinos, an AI chatbot with much more lewd "flirty" text, and racist clickbait.
Sketches of Morris (a robot) quoting some Tumblr posts. In the first, they give a violently emotionless stare and use an unusually robotic voice to declare, "I hope a webp image feels the equivalent of human pain when I convert it to a png image" The second, they pose uncertainly with a hand on their hip, averting eye contact, and say, in a more human font, "never 'look inside' yourself btw i just tried it and there was already someone in there looking back it was so awkward" In the third, they sit distantly on the floor, looking very small and somewhat frustrated. This is captioned, "just realized i am not mysterious. i have poor communication skills."
A redraw of a Sailor Moon screenshot where Usagi looks up sadly at someone off-screen, instead depicting an OC in a pink dress and deep magenta hair in heart-shaped afro puffs. Her eyes have a broken heart symbol in them.
A simple animation of two robot characters (the first short and blue, other tall and red) set to the "Steamed Hams" bit from The Simpsons: "Aurora borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen? "Yes!" "...May I see it?" "...No."
Domino effect meme, where "The Seventh Sally, or How Trurl's Own Perfection Led to No Good" by Stanisław Lem apparently causes "Na Na Na (Simlish Version)" for The Sims 3 by My Chemical Romance/EA Games.
An Art Fight promo image for SpectrumSpace (OP) on Team Fossils.
A four-panel comic drawn in pencil on paper. Panel 1: Close-up of a phone open to a GPS app. It announces, "Animal reported on shoulder ahead." Panel 2: A pirate captain at the wheel looks excitedly at the phone. Panel 3: The captain turns to another pirate, who gives two thumbs up. There is indeed a parrot on his shoulder. Panel 4: The ship crashes directly into a colossal squid.
Sketch of two cartoon robots in lab coats, blue and red respectively, with the former smugly quoting an anonymous Tumblr ask sent to user orteil42 to the other: you seem like you unironically enjoyed electroswing circa 2012
A rough drawing of a robot falling down a flight of stairs, captioned, "[CENSOR] IM FALLING DOWN ALL THESE STAIRS.........", a gag from Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.
A page of sketches of cartoon robots recreating frequently-memed comic panels, specifically Pop Team Epic's "Aah, so it's like that, huh. I understand everything now. (doesn't get it at all)," "Arrested for [treason]," and "Your [clone] life ends thirty minutes from now," as well as the Powerup Comics panel, "As far as I'm concerned, all marriage is 'gay' marriage." The image as a whole is composed to resemble the Ctrl+Alt+Del strip "Loss".
A brightly-colored, stylized drawing of a hairless rat playing on a small toy keyboard.
A simple animation of two robots - blue on the left with a sheet of crumpled paper and red on the right with a bucket on his head - set to audio from Sesame Street of Bert and Ernie arguing over the location of a waste paper basket.
9PM, Panel 1: A person kneeling on a carpet with loose hair, straight (as though the person was soaked). Labels say, "SUDDENLY SLEEPY" and "(Being Brave About It)" 10PM, Panel 2: The same person at a laptop, looking ridiculously emotionless and doing nothing else, labeled "yootoop 👍". 11PM, Panel 3: Drawn outside the panel, the person (now more composed and with braided hair) says, "I'm just gonna hit the hay when the clock strikes midnight. Here's doodles I made while listening to videos. I really wanna draw some of the Fun Stuff right now." There's a little bit of abstract scribbling in neon blue, followed by the text "nevermind i somehow lost all steam as soon as i sat down to do it". At the very bottom of the page is the same stretched portrait of Howard Big Bang Theory from earlier in the thread and the word "bazinga".
6PM, Panel 1: Someone eating, captioned, "The meringues are actually pretty good. There's just less air than there should be." Panel 2: Dinner, a plate of chicken. Panel 3: The person sits at the table, unhappy. Text explains, "spent all this time cooking it but medication has a side effect that ruins one's appetite and therefore doesn't feel like eating despite needing it" 7PM, Panel 4: The person eats "baby carrots, another apple". 8PM, Panel 5: The person sits at a desk, drawing in a book. Flaming text explains, "STORYBOARDING"
4PM, Panel 1: The person resumes drawing while loud noises are in the background, thinking, "I should maybe storyboard some more for Can of Worms... Or maybe write..." Panel 2: The other person returns, saying, "I now know why your mom failed to make meringues." 5PM, Panel 3: The person squints into a toaster oven, full of doughy meringues. Panel 4: They stand up as their name is called. Panel 5: They approach a TV, labeled "Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)". The person watching asks, "Who's the guy playing piano?" Panel 6: They squint again at the screen. Panel 7: The TV displays a promotional image of Simon Helberg as Howard Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory.
3PM, Panel 1: A person sits happily at their laptop with headphones on, with the sparkly text, "Internet friends!~" Panel 2: They're startled back to attention by the laptop declaring, "HEY THAT HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND YOU HAVEN'T INTERACTED WITH IN YEARS SAW THAT CYBERIAD COMIC" Panel 3: An envelope is handed over from out of view. The deliverer asks, "Were you expecting mail?" The person on the laptop goes, "Oh! Renewed license!" The deliverer adds, "get a job btw". All this dialogue, and the rest of the dialogue on the page, has chevrons to indicate it is being said in another language. Panel 4: In a new setting, two people are speaking off-panel ("I'll be back by three." "It's already after three!"). The person is stirring a cup, which is labeled "new tea bc old cup SUCKED". Panel 5: Someone standing over the sink asks, "Has it been this windy at home all day?" The person with tea says, "Ehh... It was worse earlier..." Panel 6: They're startled when the person at the sink adds, "By the way, for the past two weeks, I've planned to make meringue."
12PM, Panel 1: Brunch! A drawing of an apple next to a plate of two fried eggs and a bread load that's been sliced in half. 1PM, Panel 2: A person using a laptop while wearing headphones. Text explains, "Playing Animal Jam. Got membership for Christmas for the first time ever, so I've been playing a certain adventure to earn the stuff I want for when I become nonmember again. ...or stuff I can sell so I can buy the good stuff from someone else..." Panel 3: A cartoon owl looking angrily at a necklace labeled "CHEAP TRASH". 2PM, Panel 4: The person looks out of a window. Text explains, "Everyone got home early!"
11AM: A drawing of a person vacuuming. There's a long explanation at the top that says, "I actually tried participating back in high school, but I couldn't follow through with it. Part of that was because I had my "studniówka" that day. It's like prom for Polish students and held 100 days before their matriculation exam. Of course, mine was "fake". I'm an American in America. My supplementary school just rented out a nice venue to indulge us. Not that I felt indulged. I'm not a party person, I had no friends, and I hate being dolled up. But it wasn't bad. Just boring. I didn't know what to draw during the rare moments I had to myself, or really have the energy, despite thinking it'd make for an interesting read. Today is another studniówka, which my mom is attending as an authority of sorts, so she's out of the house all day. So I'm cleaning the house."
Sketchy comics drawn in shades of periwinkle (faded blue-purple). 8AM, Panel 1: A phone screen at an angle, with a Bluesky feed announcing Hourly Comic Day. Panel 2: A person in bed, holding said phone, with the text, "Oh. Right." 9AM, Panel 3: A person with a ponytail, wearing a hoodie and fuzzy boots. The text explains, "Dressed! Wish I had a cooler outfit to draw..." Panel 4: The person stands in a kitchen with a cup of tea. The text explains, "I finished college a semester early, so I'm stuck at home. Yay." 10AM, Panel 5: The person sits at an art tablet, wearing headphones. A faded arrow clarifies that they are holding their lefthand wrist (poised over a remote of hotkeys) at a 90-degree angle. There are several long paragraphs of narration, reading, "I was torn about making this, since this would likely be boring and I finally crossed this off my artistic bucket list last year anyway. But I think having something to do and seeing how much my routine has changed now that I'm here might be good for me. Also, it's a little funny to me how this year's hourly day falls."
Panel 1: The two robots continue to stare blankly up at the machine. Panel 2: They look at each other with slightly more concern. Panel 3: Klapaucius turns away, sheepish, both hands behind his back. "Perhaps... they won't find out, perhaps they won't notice."
Splash panel: The two look up at the machine as it explains again, "Take a good look at this world, how riddled it is with huge, gaping holes, how full of Nothingness, the Nothingness that fills the bottomless void between the stars, how everything about us has become lined with it, how it darkly lurks behind each shred of matter. This is your work, envious one! And I hardly think the future generations will bless you for it..."
Panel 1: "please return the zits, for without them life loses all its charm..." Klapaucius is accompanied by flowers and sparkles for extra innocence. Panel 2: The machine responds, "But I can't, they're in z." Klapaucius scowls up at it. Panel 3: It continues, "Of course, I can restore nonsense, narrowmindedness, nausea, neerophilia, neuralgia, nefariousness and noxiousness. As for the other letters, however, I can't help you." He points angrily, knocking Trurl off-balance, and shouts, "I want my zits!" It says, "Sorry, no zits."
Panel 1: The machine explains, "Klapaucius, don't pretend to be a greater idiot than you are. Had I made Nothing outright, in one fell swoop, everything would have ceased to exist, and that includes Trurl, the sky, the Universe, and you - and even myself. In which case who could say and to whom could it be said that the order was carried out and I am an efficient and capable machine?" Panel 2: "And if no one could say it to no one, in what way then could I, who also would not be, be vindicated?" it concludes. Klapaucius facepalms and says, "Yes, fine, let's drop the subject. I have nothing more to ask of you, only please, dear machine,"
Panel 1: Klapaucius looks around, both hands raised, and says, "Great Gauss! And where are the gruncheons? Where my dear, favorite pritons? Where are the gentle zits?!" The machine, in the background, responds, "They no longer are, nor ever will exist again. I executed, or rather only began to execute, your order..." Panel 2: He looks at the machine angrily. "I tell you to do Nothing, and you... you..."
Splash panel: The two stand in a much less detailed setting, which also has wires torn from the ceiling and bent pipes. The worn paper effect is exaggerated. Trurl looks up at them while Klapaucius stares straight ahead, recovering from panic.
Panel 1: Trurl looks at Klapaucius angrily and gestures at the machine. Panel 2: Klapaucius puts both hands over his face and says, "Stop! I take it all back! Desist! Don't do Nothing!!"
Panel 1: The machine startles Klapaucius by saying, "Do not be deceived. I've begun, it's true, with everything in N, but only out of familiarity. To create however is one thing, to destroy, another thing entirely." Panel 2: The machine looms over them both and does a sort of "eye rolling" gesture. "I can blot out the world for the simple reason that I'm able to do anything and everything - and everything means everything - in N, and consequently Nothingness is child's play for me." Panel 3: "In less than a minute now you will cease to have existence, along with everything else, so tell me now, Klapaucius, and quickly, that I am really and truly everything I was programmed to be, before it is too late." In response, Klapaucius leans away and nervously says, "But -"
Panel 1: Trurl leans away nervously. "Omigosh! If only nothing bad comes out of all this..." Panel 2: Klapaucius stands proudly. "Don't worry," Panel 3: He smugly points up at the Negative, which is partially dissolved with a halftone effect. "You can see it's not producing Universal Nothingness, but only causing the absence of whatever starts with N. Which is really nothing in the way of nothing," Panel 4: "and nothing is what your machine, dear Trurl, is worth!" he concludes. Trurl glares at him.
Panel 1: The machine, looming, says, "Oh yes, I know what Nothing is, and Nothingness, Nonexistence, Nonentity, Negation, Nullity and Nihility, since all these come under the heading of N, N as in Nil." Panel 2: "Look then upon your world for the last time, gentlemen! Soon it shall no longer be..." The two "gentlemen" are surprised, and drawn from a distance to look small.
Panel 1: Klapaucius calmly explains, "Come, come. It was supposed to do Nothing, but it hasn't done anything, and therefore I've won. For Nothing, my dear and clever colleague, is not your run-of-the-mill nothing, the result of idleness and inactivity, but dynamic, aggressive Nothingness, that is to say, perfect, unique, ubiquitous, in other words Nonexistence, ultimate and supreme, in its very own nonperson!" Trurl shouts back, "You're confusing the machine!" For levity, the characters are drawn short and cartoonishly. Panel 2: The two look over behind them as the machine says, "Really, how can you two bicker at a time like this?"
Splash panel: The two characters start to argue. "Well, what did you expect? You asked it to do nothing, and it's doing nothing." "Correction: I asked it to do Nothing, but it's doing nothing." "Nothing is nothing!"
Panel 1: Klapaucius declares, "But now here's the third command:" Panel 2: He holds out both hands. "Machine, do Nothing!" Panel 3: He wipes dust off his hands smugly. Trurl looks up at the machine, annoyed.
Splash panel: The two look up at a spiral cloud that inverts the colors of the image. Klapaucius comments, "Hm. That's supposed to be Negative? Well... let's say it is, for the sake of peace..."
Panel 1: Trurl is shocked. "Negative?!" Panel 2: He continues, "What on earth is Negative?" Klapaucius says smugly, "The opposite of positive, of course." Panel 3: He continues, "Negative attitudes, the negative of a picture, for example. Now don't try to pretend you never heard of Negative." Panel 4: "All right, machine, get to work!" he concludes, while Trurl glares at him.
Panel 1: Klapaucius holds up a hand. "Allow me to give it two more tasks. If it can fulfill them, I suppose it is all you said it was." Panel 2: Trurl looks incredulous. "All right..." Panel 3: Klapaucius smiles innocently with flowers for emphasis. "Wonderful! My second request: Negative."
Panel 1: Trurl elbows Klapaucius and asks, "Not bad, eh? Nature to a T, admit it!" Panel 2: He responds, "What, that mob? Surely you're not going to tell me that's Nature?" Panel 3: Trurl is startled. Panel 4: He frowns. "Then give the machine something else." Panel 5: "Whatever you like." Klapaucius thinks.
Panel 1: Klapaucius thinks and repeats, "N?" Panel 2: He shrugs and says, "All right, let it make Nature." Panel 3: The two of them look out of a round window, revealing a mushroom cloud, fire, flying papers, and several figures arguing outside.
A comic splash page. The passage of time is indicated using a stylized version of the night sky, with blue squiggles, crosses, and spots on ink black along the top half of the page. Along the lower half, Trurl enters the room with Klapaucius (taller robot with red/angular accents, asymmetrical glasses, and a neck tie). The latter says, "All right, all right, if it's that extraordinary, let me test it." Trurl responds, "Be my guest. But it has to start with N."
Panel 1: A tall and blocky machine, somewhat comparable to an early computer, answers, "Sodium starts with an S, and I work only in N." Trurl says, "But in Latin it's natrium." It replies, "Look, old boy…" Panel 2: Trurl listens as the machine explains, "If I could do everything starting with N in every possible language, I'd be a Machine That Could Do Everything in the Whole Alphabet, since any item you care to mention undoubtedly starts with N in one foreign language or another. It's not that easy. I can't go beyond what you programmed." Panel 3: "So no sodium," it concludes. Trurl sighs, "Very well."
A comic drawn in beige tones on a slightly textured background with offset colors and halftone patterns to give the impression of an old printed work. The style is fairly geometric and simple. Panel 1: A series of objects scattered on a tile floor, identified by speech bubbles - needles, negligees, noodles, neutrons, nymphs. Panel 2: The same speaker (Trurl, a gray robot with blue accents wearing a lab coat and bowtie, drawn mostly with rounded shapes) asks for natrium and holds out a hand. Panel 3: Someone out of sight replies with a big red X, surprising him. Panel 4: The other party says, "Never heard of it." Trurl clarifies, "What? But it's only sodium. You know, the metal, the element..."
A screenshot of notifications on Bluesky, highlighting two new followers, both named Sarah. Their names have a single emoji, their usernames are vaguely flirty, and their avatars are selfies of young feminine people with long brown hair.
A drawing in neon, hypersaturated colors of Morris (robot) posed in a contorted, abstract manner, as though twisting to look at and get away from something unpleasant on the ground. They're colored entirely in cyan, magenta, yellow, and black/white (CMYK), with red, green, and blue (RGB) copies behind them on a black background of spots and rays.
A drawing set in a server room-like area of Porfirio (a lanky, angular blond man) wearing a white coat and leaning over something with a strained, angry grin as he pulls out a cable. It has been edited so that there are blocks of inconsistent saturation and lots of linear artifacts to make it feel glitchy.
sketchy comic of Morris saying, Morris: you can straight up make up a guy and if you keep talking about him long enough he’ll show up Morris: honestly I can’t [censor] stand people who insist on storing ez squeeze bottles with the nozzle pointing upwards because its the “correct way for a bottle to go” Zach appears behind them and timidly adds, Zach: but Zach: but it is Morris turns around. Morris: [in robotic text] I created you.
A sketchy comic of Morris saying, (arms crossed) "i was born from a lab experiment in which researchers worked to synthesize a person who" (finger quotes) "deserved it" (looking at a sheet of paper) "(paper fails to clarify what was meant by this)"
