The Depressed Viking Page Twelve

Genejoke on May 2, 2024

Well that was probably quite obvious based on the previous page.

Anyway as I mentioned this was written from a chatGPT script and I said I'd give the original ChatGPT version here, you can check it out below. You'll see it's rather different.

Most scripts I write using it change a similar amount, you might ask why bothe, but it often gives me a framework to build upon. Also putting in silly prompts like “write a comic script about a depressed time travelling viking” can be amusing and you never know if a half decent story might come from it.
