- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

That's a painting not a picture, your semantics have failed you
My counter argument: The Picture of Dorian Gray
It seems the word picture at the very least used to be used for paintings as well, so it's more that it's just an uncommon usage. Maybe the guy is a time traveler.
Or Pictures at an Exhibition (wikipaedia link) by Modest Mussorgsky?
(Especially the Emerson, Lake & Palmer version) (Youtube link)
In the UK at least, "Picture" is totally fine shorthand, even today, to refer to a flat 2D thing that might be put on a wall in a gallery, whether it be a painting, drawing, photograph etc. More formally it would tend towards being a figurative (rather than abstract) work.
The whole thing is drawn, how can you tell it's not a picture?
Because it's a representation of an actual painting, but if we're going to be overly semantic then I give up. You win
It happened! Someone said someone else won on the Internet.
Yeah but you lost...
The game
You. Motherfucker.
It's pixels. I'm holding my phone
It's light traveling from your phone to your eyeballs.
Then it's neuronal signals to your brain.
OMG it's abstraction all the way down, isn't it!? :-P
Those neurons are cells and they need the mitochondria which uses protein to make energy... so everything is just energy in some form or other
And energy in turn derives from the sub-atomic level, which itself sits on top of the quantum, although some people say that it is all oscillations of n-branes... therefore do any words ever have any meaning, really, ever?:-P
Are mirrors real
They are not birbs so... yes? They "are real" (wink):-).
I'm not sure I like the picture you're trying to paint with this comment.
