The derivative I also like, and don't see it here is the markov chain garfield - from back when markov chains were the bee's knees in text generation. The generator is fed by existing garfield comic text, and the generated text is superimposed to a template of existing comics. It might take a few refreshes, but I always manage to amuse myself with the absurdity that it spits out.

I'll join your derivatives thread with the garfield randomizers. here's one: https://www.bgreco.net/garfield/

and an example I just made with the 'hold' feature: https://www.bgreco.net/garfield/?panel0=1984840901&panel1=19...

Your example is great! Thanks for sharing.
I laughed until I cried. Thank you.
