About this image

This whimsical Surreal Saturdays fantasy comic depicts a cross-universe tea party between steampunk Alice, the top-hatted Cheshire Cat, and mythic Mahabharata hero Karna on a gilded terrace overlooking the Taj Mahal at golden sunset. Rich warm jewel tones, opulent Indian palace architecture, and thoughtful dialogue explore identity, legacy, and unexpected connection across fictional worlds. The quiet introspective mood balances whimsy and heartfelt reflection, rendered in lush painterly comic style.

Awesome, Catz ! 🤩✨ Everyone including me loves him sooo much even if he was with the villain. This good conversation explains him very well. I wanted to be good like him too.💖🌹

That's cool that you know their story. @suga2309 recommended him as a guest. Alice and Chessie enjoy their wide variety of guests

Oh good! I'm glad the conversation resonated with you. I'm experimenting with the new models by describing the characters and telling it that Alice, Chessie and the guest have a (adjective here --changes with the person) conversation. I described Karna as famous, tragic and complex. I was surprised GPT 2.5 Sunburst made him a bit of a philosopher. Thank you for the suggestion. It was very interesting what came out (even the failed ones, lol)

Yeah, that conversation suprised me. I am still experimenting with the new models, letting them write the conversations but I point the direction so the cat's personality is set (but they often ignore what I said about Chessie as a wisecracker) and here I put Karna as famous, tragic and complex. I guess if you're complex you're not the quiet broody type but wax on philosophically. I really like the conversation tho.

yeah, I noticed that. last year my blood sugar was not good and my doctor wanted to put me on medication. So I talked with chatgpt and followed its suggestions and after 6 months, my doctor was surprised my blood sugar was normal. It would have happened sooner but there is too much sweet good food between October and January 1st so that slowed me down.

ChatGpt has all datas. Whatever character we talk or ask doubts, it'll even clear it... Last year I used to chat about food items too. It replies well like a friend and collects more datas from us too. 😉✨

Maybe I will. I've got a lot now as I've been doing it daily for months now. I started to set up a blog with the Alice teas but didn't keep it up and didn't publish it.

Poor Karna, ever virtuous, noble, and unhappy. The perfect counterpart to Arjuna, who finally freed him from the sorrows of his life! A very special tea party today... 😎

These comics with Alice and Chessie are among the best creations one can find here on BP, you should collect them in a single volume 😎
