this comic would never have seen the light of day

Go to Google image search and type in “noble gas walks into a bar”. This farce of a comic and its joke are not special or unique in any way.

You could take one minute to draw this comic in pencil and it would look less gross. Or even MS Paint or PowerPoint. It’s slop because the creators, promulgators, and defenders of it don’t care about the audience who sees it because they each think that the veil of professional quality and soullessly averaged characteristics are enough to placate the lowest common denominator of consumers. Don’t misrepresent my position to make yourself feel better about your media diet.

I googled it and the three comics seem kind of terrible.

Not everyone finds MS Paint to be the most pleasing form to look at in any case. Really, it's a bit much to see the constant witch hunt, you literally spam your 2 word reply just to start a fight. It's just calculated negativity and gatekeeping.

I think you are making huge assumptions with the "not caring about the audience" segment.
