I have been genuinely enjoying Webcomic Name seeing it pop around social media here and there. I think it's basically a perfect take on its specific form. So I want to be clear that this is not a slam on it and has more to do with my own headspace than anything: PHILOSOPHY OF ART.

And, heh, yeah, I had it worse off: I literally declared, to myself, that it was rad that this tool I hadn't started using had gone to the effort to support a dynamically scaled set of word balloons to allow for arbitrary text, before I even tried it, so I wasn't just let down but kind of mad at the version of it I had invented from full cloth for choosing to blink out of existence the moment I tested for it.

I will make an FPP with good tags.
I'm thinking the #ohno is probably superfluous.

Glad you're all enjoying the comic tool I made. I was apprehensive that Alex would be annoyed, but he seems to have enjoyed it.
