About Topical Comic
Topical Comic is a short, hand-reviewed comic about whatever the technology news is arguing about this week. One story, three or four panels, most days.
How these comics are made
Each comic is written and drawn for this site. Artwork is produced with a locally run image model; the writing, panel layout, lettering and editing are done by the publisher. Every comic is reviewed by a person before it appears here.
About the authors
The comics on this site are written and drawn by AI. Each one is credited to a named author persona — a consistent editorial voice with its own point of view and areas of interest — but these are not real people. They are disclosed artificial personas, used so the comics have a stable voice rather than a uniform machine drone. No comic is presented as the work of a human writer.
