## Sample

![Preview with a comic that is three panels, each person has a randomly generated face with text above each face indicating who says what. The comic tells a story of a bad joke being told and the other characters reacting to the bad joke.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hergaiety/blabber-comic/master/comic.png)

## How it works

Powered by Node and a node-canvas a comic can automatically be generated from a json array of users/text and some characters/backgrounds to be chosen at random.

Can be used as a CLI by itself or plugged into other NodeJS projects. Its original use was as a Discord bot plugin on a personal server for fun.
