    A comic in four panels:

    Panel 1. While walking on a swamp, a young Gothic Sorceress and her AI cyber parrot flying behind her, meets a little lonely frog on the leaves of waterlilis. The Gothic sorcerer walks with confidence.

    AI Parrot: Frog identified. Based on my analysis, I think you should kiss it.
    Gothic Sorceress: Ugh... No way Avian Intelligence, and leave me alone.

    Panel 2. Shot on the AI Parrot, explaining, the Gothic sorceress turn back, emiting doubt about what the AI bird says.

    AI Parrot: I insist, my sources indicate a high probability of a cursed prince.
    Gothic Sorceress: Your sources?!

    Panel 3. Shot on the AI Parrot, hallucinating a list of sources. The Gothic sorcerer considers the list.

    AI Parrot: Sources:

      Padwick L. (1420), page 45-52, Enchanted Press.
    2. "Unmasking the Prince Within"

      The Future of Magic

      comics.movim.eu / PepperCarrot • 3 December 2025 • 1 minute


    Transcript:

    A comic in four panels:

    Panel 1. Wide view angle in the office of the University of Magic Headmaster. The room is filled with shelves of ancient tomes, but mainly, a carpet leading to the desk of the boss. A young gothic sorceress enters the room with determination, followed by a robotic cyber-parrot flying behind her: the Avian Intelligence bird. Detail: the boss has a AI Parrot too and seat nearby a large circular active portal. She points her finger at her AI Parrot.

    Gothic Sorceress: "Headmaster, I'm requesting to opt out of the Avian Intelligence program!"

    Panel 2. Shot on the desk of the Headmaster, an old wizard and his AI parrot, perched. He is deeply busy and his attention is fully absorbed on his paperwork, probably signing administrative stuff, giving a minimal attention to her.

    Headmaster: "Not an option. Our investors say it's the future of magic."

    Panel 3. The Headmaster gestures grandly at a portal nearby him, while adjusting his glasses. The circular view into another dimension reveals a distorted, broken wonderland. Twisted trees shaped like cartoon elephant, architectures of towers with faces, and weird creatures with big nose, moustache, the body of fish and long leg ending by three fingers. The atmosphere is both fascinating and deeply unsettling.

    Headmaster: "See? With mine I created this world in minutes. Not perfect, lots of small bugs, but it works... mostly."

    Panel 4: The young gothic student and the Headmaster stand before the dimension. She is skeptical with her hands on her hips, while the Headmaster seems tries to justify himself while thinking about it, the hand twisting a bit of beard on his chin.

    Gothic Sorceress: "It's ugly and broken."
    Headmaster: ""Vibe spelling", I call it.".

    Transcript:

    A comic in four panels:

    Panel 1. The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity.

    Gothic sorceress: "Hey, Avian Intelligence, what's the incantation for summoning a fireball?"
    AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is "IgnisMe"."

    Panel 2. The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast.

    Gothic sorceress: "Alright, let's give it a shot... IgnisMe!"

    Panel 2(small insert in previous panel). Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame.

    Gothic sorceress: "?!!"

    Panel 3. The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy.

    Gothic sorceress: "You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!"

    Panel 4. As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism.

    AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: You're absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is "PyroBolus"."

      A New Page for Fonts

      comics.movim.eu / PepperCarrot • 23 November 2025


    I just finished the Pepper&Carrot new page for sharing our Fonts!

    A decade ago, libre comic fonts were hard to find, especially with good accent support. So, translators, contributors and I edited & maintained our own to fill the gap.
