A three panel illustrated comic with a cute white bunny character wearing a pink sweater. First panel: bunny is frowning in anger and putting a piece of paper with a six-fingered hand drawn on it into a wastebasket while saying "'AI art' belongs in the garbage". Second panel: bunny is looking upset and paper is crumbled in wastebasket next to them. They're saying "AI generated images use stolen artwork and data from thousands of artists without consent". Third panel: bunny is now smiling while holding a lit match, the waste basket is now on fire. They're saying "we don't have to accept this, AI is not inevitable. Fight back and support human artists!".

No credit to the studios here. They held off as long as they could to try to break the WGA. They made a deal now because they had no other choice at this point, considering how badly they'd underestimated both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.
