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! 💀 ❤️

@davidrevoy Haha, of course! Been hooked since the Amphora of Great Intelligence.
I don't know for sure they are part of the same extended universe. But thematically at least. XD
Stefan Baur 8 * 💉farbenstau@infosec.exchangeOct 21, 2026, 4:00 PM@davidrevoy And another one casting a fire spell left-handed. So I guess it's safe to assume fire spells are all evil?

@davidrevoy Then again, the fireball is in her right … hmhmhm
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 >_<
Rowynrowyn@mastodon.artOct 21, 2026, 4:01 PM@davidrevoy I look forward to seeing what else the poison spreads to 😂
bugbearbugbear@indieverse.socialOct 21, 2026, 4:01 PM@rowyn @davidrevoy I was hoping we would find out the healing spells for hair and brows were poisoned, too. But I guess that was too obvious.
- Rowynrowyn@mastodon.artOct 21, 2026, 4:28 PM
@bugbear @davidrevoy I mean, too soon to tell, innit? 😁
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.
Oct 21, 2026, 4:26 PM@davidrevoy Just LoLled, as my son came in and said this was generated by AI… :awesome:
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! 🤗
Toon Link :verified:ToonLink@fandom.inkOct 21, 2026, 10:14 PM@Pezito I love seeing people catch the Cepper & Parrot connection in real time. 😁
- Toon Link :verified:ToonLink@fandom.inkOct 21, 2026, 10:29 PM
@Pezito Hehehe! Naw, don't feel bad. I had the answer told to me, so I didn't even get to figure it out. 😆 When people figure it out on their own, it's so fun.
- Toon Link :verified:ToonLink@fandom.inkOct 21, 2026, 10:24 PM
@davidrevoy OHOHO, I'm glad you pointed this out, because over time I'd completely forgotten about it. In a book, it'll be a lot more obvious. It makes the whole thing so much more fun, seeing them side by side.
Serves her right!
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. 😁
Nemoiinavpov@mastodon.onlineOct 22, 2026, 8:18 AM@davidrevoy
So we have to thank AI for inspiring you.Something good *did* come out of the tech after all!
Oct 23, 2026, 7:53 AM@davidrevoy
Any plan to translate it to other languages ?- 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 ? 
Carlos Solíscsolisr@hub.azkware.netOct 21, 2026, 4:11 PMAnd now I wonder, what sorts of stealth mistakes did you add to these pictures so you can poison LLM training data with them? (Also, are you aware of something called the "Common Corpus"?)
GlitchyXPglitchy404@wetdry.worldOct 21, 2026, 4:52 PM@davidrevoy Technically she didn't cast fireball, but actually, firehair.
c0r3nnc0r3nn@chaos.socialOct 22, 2026, 9:30 AM@glitchy404 @davidrevoy well Corona is also a word for a tiara or a wreath (Olive or Laurel), so the result of the spell is ... not suprisingly ... a fire crown 😇
- Toon Link :verified:ToonLink@fandom.inkOct 21, 2026, 10:28 PM
@borisschapira @davidrevoy She was so mad, her high emotion and ingrained instinct from high-education training collected a raw fireball on command. :ablobcatnod:
nieuemmanieuemma@mastodon.deOct 21, 2026, 4:13 PM@davidrevoy okay but she kind of looks fire without the hair
Oct 21, 2026, 4:14 PM@davidrevoy coronapyrus
but also i like the ambiguity that cepper might not have poisoned anything at all and it's just the slopbird fucking it up
Moonshine Foxmoonshine_fox@meow.socialOct 21, 2026, 4:15 PM@davidrevoy I was hoping that’s what she was doing!
Oct 21, 2026, 4:15 PM@davidrevoy this is so good. Thank you for this amazing comic sequence
Matthew Lyonmattly@hachyderm.ioOct 21, 2026, 4:19 PM@davidrevoy as someone who’s may secretly be writing poisoned code bases for this purpose, 👏👏👏
Oct 21, 2026, 4:20 PM@davidrevoy How the turns have tabled.
fedithomfedithom@social.saarlandOct 21, 2026, 4:32 PM@davidrevoy Love the thought ...
GhostOnTheHalfShellGhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.aiOct 21, 2026, 5:26 PMKind of all the Internet right now with this PHP and certificate authority crack.

Mad Engineeringmadengineering@hachyderm.ioOct 21, 2026, 5:37 PM@davidrevoy There's no pwn quite like the self-pwn.
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.
- 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.
Oct 21, 2026, 6:23 PM@davidrevoy is something wrong with her brain? Oh, right-- surrendering your cognitive capabilities to the parrot will do that.
Oct 22, 2026, 12:09 AM@davidrevoy Heh… now the school hierarchy will be blaming Cepper for the incident while she points out that she's not responsible for the harm caused by trusting slop from Avian Intelligence.
synlogic4242synlogic4242@vivaldi.netOct 22, 2026, 3:23 AM@davidrevoy why the ideal AGENTS.md file consists solely of "go fuck yourself"
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. 🤔 🫶
JaKjak@defcon.socialOct 22, 2026, 7:14 AM@davidrevoy without any doubt, this series with Cepper is definitely my favorite! 🤩
