Reed Leviti is an artist living in the NYC Metro area. This comic series entitled "The Fine Print," Reed explores the humor of real life by taking a fresh look at the ordinary and obvious. With a degree in design from a prestiged Manhattan art program, Reed has worked in many areas of graphic design over his career. Reed's comic strips for "The Fine Print" range in topic and style, but the humor runs throughout. Reed Leviti explores the use of AI-assisted graphic design, utilizing Google Gemini for image generation. Reed has innovated the use of computer-assisted graphic design, from 8-bit machines to present-day AI. And, if you look Reed up anywhere, you won't find him. That's just a pseudonyn he chooses to go by.
Ah, the funnies. Too bad for too long they just weren’t funny.
This one had me rolling. My beer even tasted better afterwards.
Never heard of this and thought it was made up then Googled it and found out that, sadly, there are young men like this.
That last frame with him like a doofus is priceless. Keep ’em coming, Reed.
That last pic was priceless. DOOF was a good term for the expression and sentiment. Good call. We need to revive that term for DOOFUSES we see. They deserve it.
I heard bout this just this week on SNL. The guy with the looksmaxing hammer. I didn’t know they were showing something existing IRL. I tried lookkng up the SNL skit afterwards and found all this other isht and was like NO WAYYY… But it is sadly true.
Reed was funnier than SNL. You guys are definitely amping up the paper with due time.
My complaints tho are a couple. 1. Comments get held way too long. 2. Too much *** for words. Too much censorship! 3. The new bigger letters only appear on some articles. This one has smaller type. But at some point the newer articles were bigger and the comment section also. Now it is just sometimes.

Lowkey, you’re coming at us with a major lack. You’re ghostin’ and not even tryin’ hard. If I were you, I’d def take myself more serious, G. You’re throwin’ off the whole vibe when you’re actin’ extra and just chillin’ while everyone’s tryin’ to get it together. I got my own grind goin on, I got my own responsibilities, you feel?
The hidden letter thing is to hard. Please fix.
Just another pog trying to fit in. Self confidence doesn’t come from a hammer. I was also unaware of this as an actual phenomenon in the world. Am I surprised? Yes.
Am I surprised? **** NO!!!
Bruh,,, this is the earth in 2026.
You with your rocker heavy metal getup or whatever are tame compared to these r******.
You’re a musician anyway. These guys just posers.
You are a true rebel. I know that takes confidence to walk around the South Shore like that. You are at least being honest and rock your look. I remember you when you were just a wee rocker wearing black metal tees, black jeans, Keds, and a wallet chain. You’ve graduated to devil worshiper., apparently. Or this is tongue-in-cheek, knowing you from way back when.

Nope it come
from my dope
aftershave
and rizz
TBH, that meme was savage, I’m dead over how lowkey clueless that chubby dude is.
I guess it comes from making every day Halloween, right?
Why??? I’m just shocked it hasn’t come to self-mutilation to fit in and be cool. 😐
And before you write back all snarky, “What about ear piercings and..and..and..gaugings…and…”
I mean like cutting off your body parts to be cool. I saw a video on YT about a woman who wanted to have one leg. They wouldn’t’ cut it off so she took a saw and did. Is this true? Who the hell knows.
ROTFLFOL just gets better every time I look back at this one
OMG this guy is so weird. I don’t know anyone at all IRL who does this. And I know everyone in my school plus about 1/4 of kids at two other schools. I think this is fake. How would a hammer not break the guy’s jaw? It’s obviously not real. I saw the SNL. That is where this rumor started.
But I can see how the cartoon guy has a bad attitude and hates himself since he is hitting his own face. And then he brings that out and the girl gets upset since he is being rude. And then the manager guy walks up. Next the dude takes off his jacket like he wants to fight and sticks out his jaw. He was being weird. And then he thinks it is a free beauty treatment. That is just insane. There is not one guy who would ever do that. So the cartoon is funny. But still not real.
No this is real. You are 100% wrong on that one.
I know this has to do with a guy named Clavicle or something. Really don;t ask me. I don’t check in to that sort of stuff. Waste of time 100%.
what a clownnnnnnnnnnnn
I thought name-calling was against the community message board rules? ? ?
They’re name calling a comic strip character. sheesh You are really tight dude.
Ya gotta know, dat had me LMAO, in my jacket it’s goin’ in da Favorites spot. I slung it to five peeps, kept it on the low, just busted out da reactions, and let ’em speak for demselves, straight flame, no chasin’ da explanation, ya dig?
Love it. NEXT, please. A classic for sure!
