It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Nice catch!
I recently binged the whole series :)
Also Pepper & Carrot, which is fantastic on another level!
I really want more Pepper & Carrot, but he’s been on this plot line for a while so, no telling when he’ll switch back.
It's in the works!
Slowly but surely: even if the month was really busy, I could commit time to do progress on episode 40. Maybe even more than in August. I did some work on the concept art (Pepper's new outfit) and some pages went from just layout to fully penciled.
The layout of page 9 and 10 is still very only speechbubbles and doodles. I hope I'll finish the penciling and start some inking in October.
Probably about the time people stop sending him AI-generated images, comics, and game demos based on Cepper, Pepper, and Carrot.
Pyrocorona = crown of fire
...Which you'd realize beforehand, had you actually done the work rather than letting the Avian Intelligence cheat for you.
It's not Avian Intelligence anymore! The academy's rectum said to now use Sloth Intelligence.
Am I the only one who thinks that maybe... Just maybe, these wizards should be casting a protection from fire spell before trying other new spells? My own research says the incantation should be "Pyroprostata".
Got to love Dave.
