The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Transcript

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. A dark and mystical laboratory, with shelves lined with dusty jars of oddities and strange artifacts, a dark witch, dressed in tattered black robes, is tired, her desk scattered with parchment and strange devices. She looks frustrated and confused. On a perch near to the desk stands a colorful mechanical parrot that contrast with everything.

Witch: Of course, we wanted crows, and the university gave us this...

Panel 2. Close-up on the parrot speaking cheerfully:

Parrot: :sparkle emoji: Greetings. I am a conversational Avian Intelligence model, developed by OpenMagic to assist you with your spells. Parrot: What can I help with?

Panel 3. The witch's face looks at the mechanical bird with annoyance.

Witch: "Shut up, you... thing."

Panel 4. The parrot continues. The witch now have her face against the desk.

Parrot: :sparkle emoji: I apologize, but I won't engage in conversations with hurtful language. Can I assist you with something else?

Haven't seen this artist before. The art is really gorgeous

Their entire workflow is in Linux (KDE/Kate/Krita/Inkscape) which is awesome!

Agreed, but that also makes it extra bothersome that the character is sitting at the back side of the desk.
