@davidrevoy Have you considered a comic where an owner of a real parrot does magic and gets accused of using AI?
@davidrevoy The AI ones you draw look robotic with the panel seams, star symbols and display in place of eyes. Their speech bubbles also have star symbols and different background color. A real parrot would look real, squawk, and have normal speech bubbles. It could preen (or even swear if it's owned by a pirate mage).
The owner of the parrot could also simply state that it's just a normal parrot.
@davidrevoy Ah, I misunderstood. Yes, both parrots should be shown so the viewer can notice differences. This could be combined with regular action though, to avoid losing one panel.

What kind of of tools or system do you use @davidrevoy, or are you envisioning, to give your audience the option to follow up on the previously established content and context)?
@bitpickup @elgregor My timelines on various social media contains all of the previous episodes, with a tag so they are easy to list; and I also store them on my website: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomics/miniFantasyTheater__Avian-Intelligence.html
Next way I envision: CBZ, PDF, EPUB ebooks, and printing on paper.
@davidrevoy
Nice.
thx
Learning questions:
Do you have a diaspora* account?
I know that @mullana at least had one.
Would you be interested (have fun) in explore options inside the fediVerse, and eventually the federatedWeb (let's call the connection to D* that as that makes more sense)?
Have you tried and\or considered to create one large thread of all the chapters of an episode or season?
@bitpickup I had a Diaspora account from 2016 to 2022 but I closed it; it felt a bit of a duplicate with my Mastodon account and my blog.
For the big thread; I can't here: On Mastodon, to create a thread, you need to reply to your first post. It makes all the replies inversely chronologically posted for the timeline of my followers. Imagine: posting dozen of comics like this. This is very self-imposing on the TL of other, I'm afraid such a practice would gain me lot of 'unfollow'.

True.
Happens to me every once in a while when I try, or tried to do or invent something.
First of all there is the issue of "workload" to have in mind, so everything that I say or propose has to be taken with care.

For a completed series there is a neat option that came to my mind by evolving the long comment above.
Creat a specific profile only for the series:
@Carrot&Pepper_01
Post all the chapters
Reshare the first one with your main account when you are done. Nobody will know until that profile goes public.

As @mullana pointed out, several social media accounts are time consuming.
As a life time friendican (voreingenommen) I really think you should test such a profile and realize the options it gives you at hand.
In a second step you would need to get a hand on your own instance:
social.peppercarrot.com
That's your working station, don't follow anybody, only accept followers.
On friendica you can switch form one profile to another with two clicks.

@davidrevoy
That means, you can create a profile for ever series, project even characters of yours.
Also friendica has bbCode editing and an own image gallery. If you visit the @bitpickup@tupambae.com on it's server you'll see a quite elaborated image gallery.
You upload images as not public and copy paste the URL.
You can embed the image where ever you want, as @utopiarte did just recently with your example how you created the muteo chapter.
Providers offer friendica for 6 Euro a month.
Last but not least, of course just work on as of now with @davidrevoy that's your distributer for the posts from social.peppercarrot.com and the small talk with the audience..
You host the instance, you host the content, you own the data.
@bitpickup@troet.cafe @bitpickup@tupambae.com Thank you for the feedback, I'll keep this notes around and study the idea for future plan of improving my social media.
Don't @bitpickup@troet.cafe!
Don't do it!
Don't tell @davidrevoy to ask politily if he could slip onto tupambae.com to look around an check out friendica. You know how they are .. du bringst uns in Teufelsküche!
Creating a simple HTML stream from any of those pages or profiles... saved the page as HTML and uploaded it on an own subdomain:
requeteche.tupambae.com
It's not perfect, and all links point to diaspora-fr.org but it's actually a kinda neat and interesting option.
davidrevoy@framasphere.org on geraspora and diaspora-fr.org:
pod.geraspora.de/people/f36d0e…
diaspora-fr.org/people/f36d0ea…
Actually, looking at the profile and the options diaspora put's at hand, a profile that isn't and wasn't a follower could clean out all the reshares and even not desired comments, leaving the desired content for to preserve for history, download the resulting html, maybe replacing the missing avatar link with a valid image link, and create a davidrevoy@framasphereorg.peppercarrot.com subdomain and upload that HTML for relative eternity.
@elgregor Hey, thank you for the suggestion. It can be a challenge, especially to show the difference first between a Cyber AI Parrot and a real one, side by side and establish that before doing the critic (as a part of the audience already has trouble following what was previously established on other previous episode.) But I'll note it somewhere, in case I find a way to solve this while writing. 🙂
