Yes, you've seen the above before, but I'm not ever going to top the sentiment in the first cartoon for Johnny. I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or whatever else fills your heart this time of year!  -Stilt

Halloween is upon us, though at the moment we're looking at a cold and rainy one in North Texas which I hope won't keep me from being able to set up my not-too-spooky inflatables and passing out a bunch of candy to kids. 

As has become a tradition on this page, I'm sharing pictures of kids who've decorated (with ample help from their loving families) their wheelchairs for Halloween. I don't know if there's a happier or more accurate image of kids triumphing in the face of adversity and they're inspiring in the best kind of way.

Whatever your holiday plans, best wishes for Halloween (and always) from Johnny, Lance, and the Jarlsberg Family!

...which is not to be confused with an "AI" donor, even though it gives me a segue (barely) to share some high-tech fun.

I've recently been experimenting with an AI image generator that uses sketches as a model for more polished art. And so I've been plugging in some friends from Johnny's world to see what they might look like in real life...



This is fun stuff to play with, but I definitely prefer (and will keep using) the good old black-and-white line art. For one thing, it's easier to mix and match characters. Also, considering the frequently horrific things that happen in this webcomic it's more fun to see obvious cartoon characters instead of suffering human beings. Reality already gives us more than enough of that.

Want to try this technology yourself? You'll find it at https://www.promeai.com/blender and you can generate 200 images a month for free. And I'm not an affiliate or anything - I just like sharing fun toys.
