新聞漫畫和連環畫


沒找到今天火災事件的連環畫（香港諷刺漫畫在2023年後的打壓下變得棘手，就像《明報》停刊尊子一樣），不過這裡有一些靈感：


香港火災諷刺漫畫創意（CartoonStock風格）：一幅漫畫，將摩天大樓描繪成“炙手可熱的房產”，火焰大喊“房租到期了！”——諷刺高層建築的安全隱患和飛漲的房價。


選民動員笑話：少數族裔在投票站：“雙語視頻？太好了——現在把‘零容忍’翻譯成抵制！”


*今日新漫畫發售（11月26/27日發售）：以下幾部漫畫精彩紛呈，不容錯過——DC的《偵探漫畫》第1103期（蝙蝠俠調查）、《哈莉·奎茵》第56期（混亂女王的滑稽舉動）、漫威的《雷神之子》第4期（神祇的戲劇衝突刊）以及《詭女孩實體店和電子版均可購買！
