Time mixed cream cough for a berry filled drop.

Don't dead open inside

Yeah I should’ve hyphenated cream-filled to maybe break up that consistent gap.

I would literally doodle these on a notepad, take a photo with my phone, jack up the contrast, then put the text in using my handwriting as a font; all in ~10 minutes with barely any QA. I’ve been meaning to remake/re-draw them, but I know myself and the more work I put into it the less I’d enjoy it.

It's totally not a big deal. I think it actually adds something to the comic.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one

At least for me the river between the words made me initially read it that way, too

On Piefed (and I think lemmy?) it doesn’t display the link properly if I don’t have that extra \ (it’s there to cancel out the final parenthesis, so that the markdown knows it’s part of the link)

Not sure if it is correctly rendered by all clients, but you can try wrapping the links in < and >.

It is referred to as autolinks in the CommonMark specification.

Thanks for the info! Your example does display correctly on Piefed 👍
