One of you wonderful people pointed out a couple weeks ago that we passed the twentieth anniversary of this webcomic in July and I didn’t even notice. Well, almost exactly ten years ago, I made a special strip for the tenth anniversary, page 900.
Page 900 – The Challenges Of Zona
In it I included this song that I wrote for Mentl to sing to Zona in the Otherwhen. The lyrics and meter are mine, but every time I tried to put a tune to it it sounded derivative anyway, and so I decided to feed it into Suno and see what AI could do. It’s okay, and doesn’t not sound like what I had in my head. Just so we all know, it’s obviously based on the thing being trained on the work of many other people much more talented than I am, and I would not dare to try to monetize it, but the song as a whole is mine. Sort of collaborating with machine learning.
Warm regards,
JED
