Group Chat by Daniel Boris UPDATED
Daniel Boris writes in to say, "This is by far my most shared and liked cartoon. Ever. The Daily Cartoonist published it. An Influencer with 420k+ followers showed it in a video he made. Anonymous posted it on their Twitter page (currently has 128,000 views, 5.5k likes, and 1000 shares), and lots of love on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Reddit. And today it was also selected as Cartoon Movement's "Editor's Choice", which comes with it a one time payment of 75 Euros.
Boris' blog can be seen at https://danielboris.blogspot.com/ and there's plenty of stories about him, and cartoons by him here on ComicsDC.
