What’s up with the text on the book spine? Is this AI generated? :(
Nope, reskin of an old comic.

pbf is the best webcomic ever
Oh that makes more sense with the monster on the cover lol
It's not meant to be English text, it's trying to invoke cultish symbolism.
Funnily, because of the compression, I thought the same. I hadn’t seen the original.
Then, I was like: Ok, if you’re just trying to make one silly joke, you put that thing into an AI image generator and write “replace the book’s cover with Scrum” and be done with it, that’s fine for once.
probably meant to be eldritch text beyond our comprehension
