Hi there @islieb? !
This is a post actually directed in part to the @Friendica Support forum page of our free open source software community. I guess you heard the term #friendica already, as you are quite a while in the fedi, beginning with your #diaspora presence a long time ago. Our main coder @Michael Vogel is a fan of yours (if I got that right). I asked him the other day in a FOSDEM element chat, if he considers it possible that you make some drawings for friendica, maybe even for every new version, we have like two o three releases every year.
The idea came up because on this server we decided to use the following comic on the login/welcome page:
Than we came up with this variation for the text as you can see:
It seemed to me that Michael liked the idea to have some drawing by you, so I don't want to let the idea slip away and ask you, as well as the community, what everyone thinks about such an option. There are also the 403, 404, 500 and so on error pages. Well maybe those are more a task for @isfies!, who knows ..
Sumasumarum, any ideas, comments or questions about this proposal @all ?

•Ahhh... I'd love to say yes (really!), but I've already got so much stuff to do and I'm behind with everything.
Here's what I could offer:
If you want to use any comics or parts of them, rearrange things or change the text, just go ahead. heluecht knows my stuff and could probably find something that fits. On this page are two zip archives with comics ("islieb" = German, "heyokyay" = English): https://islieb.de/comic-archiv/
Alle islieb-Comics!

•I've also got some comics about themes like privacy, Social Media, AI, Windows/Linux and tech in genereal that were pretty popular, especially here on Mastodon. I could find them for you, maybe you want to use a few of them.
Other than that, I'm sure I could draw you *something*, but not a bunch of new comics. The drawing-part takes very little effort with these simple stick figures, illustrations wouldn't be a problem.

•But coming up with several new comics on specific topics takes time, at least for me. If I try to force or rush ideas, the results are pretty lame most of the time.
Maybe you could ask other cartoonists as well? I'm sure many would be happy to contribute something and you'll probably end up with more material than you need.

👍 if you like the drawing above for a 404 page
👍👎 if you consider that somehow the image should be without text because of language compatibilites
👎 if you consider we should keep on posting proposals for to vote her, including @islieb's handle so he/she/it becomes obsessed with friendica and the idea and wakes up with fresh ideas burned into his/hers/it's mind every once in a while

I was about to try to tease you into open one, as you could handle all of your fedinetworks from there, crossposting to D* and bluesky and so on.
Or even to set you up your own instance, if you have a domain or subdomain name.
Actually I guess you could create things like "Vorpremiere publishing for subscribers" and things like that.
Limiting access to published posts and even images. Not really paywalled, I guess we all hate that, but courtesies like things the commoners are going to see next week, behind the scenes and all that influencer celeb fan stuff you know ..
