The News Comic by Dot.Dot.Line_Cartoons Sparks Mixed Reactions on Reddit

A new four-panel comic strip titled "Rooted" by Dot.Dot.Line_Cartoons has recently taken Reddit by storm, drawing a broad range of reactions from users. The comic, which features two anthropomorphic trees discussing the state of the world, has ignited both praise and criticism.

In the first panel, two trees with expressive faces stand amidst a grassy field with stone-like structures in the background. The sky is green, and flames rise from the ground. The tree on the left exclaims, "The world is collapsing!" to which the tree on the right responds with surprise, saying, "Oh no!"

The second panel zooms in on the concerned tree on the right, asking, "What should we do?" The background showcases green leaves and an orange sky, emphasizing the tension.

In the third panel, the focus shifts to the content tree on the left, who replies, "We already did." The right tree, still partially visible, questions, "What?" in a speech bubble, heightening the suspense.

The final panel reveals both trees again, standing amidst the flames. The right tree says, "We spread the news!" while the left tree, smiling, adds, "Now time to chill." The right tree, looking relieved, concludes with "Phew!" Beneath the comic panels, "Rooted" and "BY Dot.Dot.Line_Cartoons" are prominently displayed.

Reddit users have expressed a variety of opinions about the comic. Comments range from "not funny :-(" and "This comic makes no sense" to "Is this AI? Or is it just zoomer humor?" Some users found the comic's humor lackluster, with remarks like "Not funny at all" and "There's an overwhelming amount of new comic creators on Reddit that aren't funny at all."

Others delved into deeper critiques, questioning the underlying message and societal implications. One user pondered, "But what if you, like, kept updating the situation report obsessively, while refusing to acknowledge the conflicts of interest that constitute the underlying causes of said crises, which also fund your businesses' bottom line and your industry's whole paradigm, and keep people on edge without providing any kind of viable solution? Would that be parasitic? Or just good business sense?"

Despite the mixed reactions, "Rooted" by Dot.Dot.Line_Cartoons has certainly captured the attention of Reddit users, sparking discussions and debates about the comic's humor and relevance. Whether loved or criticized, it stands as a testament to the diverse tastes and opinions within the online community.
