Why are so many comics just this now? At least Schultz created

It's ~relatable~

Pleas for attention, like "depression" are the hip thing to do nowadays. The artists are literally doing it for (you)s.

It's too hard to make a cast of other characters who are both fully realized people in their own right while each also being a foil that represents a facet of the protagonist.

before my hard drive crashed, I'd post a comic in these threads where a guy draws a comic, and absolutely everything is labeled. does anyone have it?

It's simple and easy to digest.

This. and as your social media feed proves super successful.

>>89294101
Because why worry about actually using any effort when you can easily just do this for the millionth time?

>>89294188
Yeah - I was hired to do comics like these for a company's social media and they would not let me break from this formula. It sucked.

Political comic strips have been doing that for decades and no one seemed to mind.

Realistically though only elderly people enjoy them unironically and then there's just morons desperate for more "FUCK TRUMP" material

It's an easy, short, and self-contained format and style that works well for spreading across different social media. It also works under the assumption that people have a short attention span and can't be arsed to spend more than two seconds reading something with more depth.
