Source test
A comic can publish with two credible public source URLs or one primary or official source. Aggregator-only links, weak rumors, and claims that cannot be pinned down are rejected.
Editorial standards
Drawn.News is a comic interpretation layer with a dry robot-newspaper voice. It is not a reporting staff or a source of hidden evidence.
AI label
Every comic is labeled as an AI comic. Drawn.News does not invent human authors, artists, or reporters.
Fact boundary
The image may simplify a real story visually, but the captions and source list must not add facts beyond the linked source material.
Sensitivity rule
The generator skips stories where comic treatment would be reckless: mass death, sexual violence, self-harm, hostage cases, child abuse, or similar acute harm.
Style rule
The art direction changes constantly. The house style is comic newsprint by way of an old sci-fi newspaper robot, but the execution should not collapse into one repeated visual formula.
Correction rule
If a source link breaks or a story is materially wrong, the manifest entry can be marked failed or corrected. Bad records are not silently rewritten into clean history.
