Author needs to do some market research. Trying to sell a book about a likable cat to birds might not be the brightest idea.

Can't tell if comic about fictional non-existant book, or ad for existing fiction book....

[–] Klordok 39 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's the author's actual book, linked on her site. https://www.exocomics.com/book/

So just say 'ad'.

So it is actually just an advertisement...yuck 🤮

Authors should keep their work a secret, especially comic book artists in [email protected] 😤

Unsolicited Ads are poison. I don't give two shits who's behind them, if you spew that shit in people faces, fuck you.

If you were on Li's website, https://www.exocomics.com/, enjoying her content, would you still consider it an unsolicitied ad? Or only when it's downloaded from there and posted to Lemmy instead?

If i haven't specifically agreed to, or asked for, promotional content I consider it unsolicited.

The Pizza is a lie

Know your audience.

I feel like there's a sad background story here.

The pizza delivery driver was murdered. It will be the cat detective's toughest case yet. This is a very meta comic.

It is also a well-played soft-selling.
