Reddit seems to have introduced sitewide AI moderation bots that are sweeping up users and outright banning them, without warning or explanation, for crimes like including links in their posts. This has started to hit some pretty well-known artists in r/comics.

It's inconsistent and unpredictable - which makes it worse, since you don't know what the rules are. As companies like Reddit give up more and more control to unaccountable machines, this kind of thing is getting more common.

Reddit has always had kind of a strange relationship with contributors and what is often called "self-promotion". On one hand, it wants Content... But it can't seem to decide where it wants the content to come from.

It's nice that we've got alternative spaces like this.

Anyway, have some links:

• More comics:
  • Ongoing series
  • One-offs like this
• Patreon

Tamilda has not spent much time processing her typically tragic and horrifying D&D backstory. This is probably not time or place.

What's going on here?

• Tamilda is an orphan teen who was, for a time, part of Singing Cricket's adventuring party.
  • She and the rest of the cast are attending the wedding of a changeling, the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby, whom they recently discovered and befriended. (The poor changeling has her own problems, which will probably get addressed soon.)
  • Tamilda has had a few story arcs in the series, and has recently started discovering some things about herself.
• Tamilda had a very awkward introduction to Maki last episode. Now it's Maki's turn to be awkward.
• The wedding day story starts a few episodes back. A lot of storylines have split off at this wedding and will eventually come together.

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/adventure/occasionally horror story. It's on Webtoon and other platforms. Also ![email protected]. ^(And Patreon if you like early releases and extra stuff. Or get the book!)

The fantasy trope that everyone of a given species shares the same language always seemed a bit funny to me.

Co-author credit on this comic to my daughter, who came up with the concept. (She makes a lot of comics about dragons, but she's too young to share them publicly.)

Granny Dismal doesn't joke, bartender.

What's going on here?

• It's the Changeling's wedding day! And no, she has not succeeded in coming out as a changeling to her future husband.
• Kayra and Granny Dismal do not normally look like this - they are in disguise as a human family. Hags are not usually welcome in society, but these ones are special to the changeling.
• This episode is a parody of u/bryankellydraws's excellent "True Tales From the Bar" comics, but it's still a thing that happened at the wedding.

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/horror story. It's on Webtoon and other platforms. Also r/LoveAndHex. And the first volume of strips is out as a book!
