Hey, this episode is a bit special so I wanted to write a little note under: it mirrors the second episode of the Avian Intelligence series https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/028.html and it punishes this scholar with a snake tatoo who scanned the research of Cepper in the previous episode against her consent.
I'm preparing a book with the Avian Intelligence series, and this mirroring effect is for the logic of ending the book (but this episode is not the end, next one will be my conclusion... for the book 1).
707Kat707Kat@mastodon.artOct 21, 2026, 3:58 PM@davidrevoy Crazy! I was just dropping by your account to see if anything new was happening and then there's a new Cepper comic! XD
Amazing! 💀 ❤️

@707Kat :blobcheerbounce: yay! perfect sync! Thank you for checking it. :blobcatheart:
Maya Granadekevingranade@mastodon.gamedev.placeOct 21, 2026, 4:00 PM@davidrevoy this hits so much harder because the way you draw hair is so gorgeous >_<
Oct 21, 2026, 4:07 PM@davidrevoy And obviously, in the next comic Cepper is going to be the bad guy, all the academy going after her for poisoning her research. "It's your fault a scholar sorceress got burnt!"
Oct 21, 2026, 4:10 PM@ska @davidrevoy And they'll try to punish Cepper and it'll backfire on them too? ^^
Oct 21, 2026, 4:14 PM@davidrevoy take my money wen?

Chris Pittsthirstybear@agilodon.socialOct 21, 2026, 4:27 PM@davidrevoy Love it. Hopefully the book will be available in the UK.
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 21, 2026, 4:31 PM
@thirstybear Yes, I'm studying a service of print on demand that writes they deliver to "200+ countries", so I guess UK will be part of it. I'll know more details soon, and I'll try to post on the blog and here an announcement.
Oct 21, 2026, 4:26 PM@davidrevoy Just LoLled, as my son came in and said this was generated by AI… :awesome:
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 21, 2026, 4:33 PM
@bartvdo 🤣 Tell him I'm the author who generated AI. 😋 It's not totally false 😆
daisE 🌈daisE@sfba.socialOct 21, 2026, 4:48 PM@davidrevoy there's so much I love about the AI series. One aspect I really like (but don't know if intended):
Clarke's (3rd) Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Thank you for all your wonderful work! 🤗
Oct 21, 2026, 9:14 PM@davidrevoy Ah, I see now! The last strip left me wondering. I didn't see the point; I felt Cepper* reacted a bit lightly to the theft. Now it makes sense... She had planned for this to happen! ^^
*I just figured "Pepper & Carrot" => "Cepper & Parrot" and feel dumb for not noticing earlier xD
Kvn Wstrawhousepig@mastodon.socialOct 22, 2026, 1:06 AM@davidrevoy I mean, to be fair, "summoning a fireball" sounds quite similar to "becoming a fireball."
Jens Bannmann ⁂tynstar@nerdculture.deOct 22, 2026, 5:41 AM@davidrevoy
Thanks for the reminder, already forgot about that episode. 😅Great idea with the book by the way, looking forward to buying book 1! And book 2.
The Avian Intelligence Book Buying will continue until morale improves, I mean until LLMs decline. Which is probably the same thing. 😁

So we have to thank AI for inspiring you.Something good *did* come out of the tech after all!

@iinavpov 😆 Thank you!

Any plan to translate it to other languages ?- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 23, 2026, 10:05 AM
@niavy No, this one was a quick speechbubble edit of the two first panel of an old MiniFantasyTheater ( ep14 https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/014.html ) and the pun is untranslatable (and humor super niche). So, it will not even be exposed to the translation system.
- Oct 23, 2026, 10:25 AM
@davidrevoy
I understand for this one. I meant, if all or most of other Cepper&Parrot strips can be translated, will it be someday ? Or is it too much work ? - David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 23, 2026, 12:44 PM
@niavy It's open to the community; the sources are here https://framagit.org/peppercarrot/webcomics/-/tree/master/miniFantasyTheater/lang?ref_type=heads (you can duplicate the svg of 'en' english, and start adding a language, all you need is Git, Inkscape, and the fonts https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/fonts/index.html )
Then, the language appear on the top on the episodes https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomics/miniFantasyTheater.html
Boris Schapiraborisschapira@framapiaf.orgOct 21, 2026, 4:11 PM@davidrevoy So she can invoke a fireball without saying Pyrobolus?!
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 21, 2026, 4:13 PM
@borisschapira Good point! I guess she is a professional 😆
nieuemmanieuemma@mastodon.deOct 21, 2026, 4:13 PM@davidrevoy okay but she kind of looks fire without the hair
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 21, 2026, 4:14 PM
@nieuemma Thank you☺️ That was a challenge to draw her this way, and I still wanted her to look cool.
Moonshine Foxmoonshine_fox@meow.socialOct 21, 2026, 4:15 PM@davidrevoy I was hoping that’s what she was doing!
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 21, 2026, 4:22 PM
@moonshine_fox Thank you. It was a bit hidden, but I hope it will be easier to read and come back to it for the (future) book.
Oct 21, 2026, 4:15 PM@davidrevoy this is so good. Thank you for this amazing comic sequence

KasTasKasTasMykolas@river.group.ltOct 21, 2026, 5:39 PM@davidrevoy woaaa, very well done postures! I like very much how 4 different emotions can be determined only by looking at those.
If I had at least a slight ability to paint, I probably would have tried to add a little bitsy of additional muscles while trying to strangulate Aviation Intelligence. But the right arm and fingers show it all.
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 21, 2026, 5:48 PM
@KasTasMykolas Thank you! oh yes, I see what you suggest: the slight tension on the muscle of the arm. That's a subtle thing to capture from imagination, but I'll try to remember for later comic to work on that, thank you for the feedback!
- KasTasKasTasMykolas@river.group.ltOct 21, 2026, 6:44 PM
@davidrevoy sorry for nitpicking :) But I'm just freaking impressed with every piece You release to the public.
- Oct 23, 2026, 5:57 PM
@davidrevoy @KasTasMykolas you're already doing a temendous job with human body shapes. The accuracy is impressive. Simple lines in appearance yet they express so much.
rivalrival@mastodon.socialOct 22, 2026, 4:32 AM@davidrevoy This is so convoluted... I mean, "AI-capitalism". Because proprietary AIs are designed to steal human labour and make profit to the owner corporations, the workers start defending in some way (poisoned dataset) but this is also a double waste of resources of all kind, because poisoned and not-poisoned training is done with the same electric spending...
Really, under capitalism everything gets fucked. We, as species, need to end this nonsense..., some way. 🤔 🫶
Дмитро Носальdimnosal@masto.inkOct 22, 2026, 9:42 AM@davidrevoy Hmm, she did s p e c i f i e d to take the Ring of Fire spell from Cepper's research. Who knows what would have happened if she asked for a spell from AI's «general knowledge».
State Machinestatemachine@social.lolOct 22, 2026, 1:30 PM@davidrevoy I’m sure the good ol’ US of A will make intentional poisoning of data some sort of felony, since ya gotta protect corporate interests.
- David Revoydavidrevoy@framapiaf.orgOct 22, 2026, 8:37 PM
@statemachine Yes, I had that in mind too the other day: sooner or later they'll call poisoner of AI "terrorists", I'm sure.
A reason more to have fun now while it is totally legal 😋
