Recent comic: Cutting out the Middleman
I suspect that some readers might interpret this cartoon as a call for Luddism, but mostly it's a reflection of thoughts I've been having lately about out-of-control data harvesting and a growing surveillance state.

Oh man I got in a big fight about this cartoon on lemmy because they were all like, “Well ackshully, there’s still a middleman if you buy print media, stationery and flip phone,” and I was all like, “I don’t think they mean that kind of middleman; have you ever had a page in a paper book ask if you want an AI plot summary, or a ball point pen make you subscribe to ink to continue writing.” They still didn’t get it.
I guess every comic has to pass a literal correct test over there.
