@davidrevoy Have you considered a comic where an owner of a real parrot does magic and gets accused of using AI?
@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. 🙂
@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.
