Is it okay if comics don't have perfect grammar?
I'm planning to create a comic and am currently writing down the dialogue. To make sure everything is correct, I checked some of it on a grammar checker, and it said I had a few mistakes, but I think it's understandable enough, and some corrections just make it more confusing.
Example: A sentence is basically "If this thing happens, this other thing will happen," where the page tells me to put a comma after "happens." The character says this sentence relatively quickly, so there's no pause like you, or at least I, would expect for a comma.
Does the text of this question work as it is? The site also says I need to correct some things.

Hello Fvzkkuutf
A break can also take 0.00000001 seconds.
In a 300 cycle, a break is already a three hundredth – i.e. 0.2 seconds and yes, that is clearly perceived. Only at breaks below 0.5 seconds we perceive something at all as liquid.
So it’s not okay to ignore comma errors. It can also be very disturbing.
What? I raised ma’ thought, des isch ebbeso vastëndlig g’nuerg. Ë andr’a becomes villig saije the ma’ des seii vastoe cha. Aba fier mî, long because in min’ra Birni chlingt des vëllig normal.
You know what? I thought that’s just as understandable. Another one might say you can’t understand. But that’s enough for me because it sounds completely normal in my head.
Writing is not about presenting DEIN German, but rather making it as pleasant as possible for the reader. Therefore, I do not write in my native language dialect, but in a language that is as pleasant as possible for you.
What you can do is grammar errors in individual characters (sign sets must nevertheless be correct)
You can rob a character the genitive – you then need a perfect South German grammar in which the genitive is always correctly replaced by the Dativ.
Or remove the battery for a Berliner.
Ick may You = completely fine!
Because of Comic, I have dictated (…) = completely fine.
But only if this character speaks to IMMER that way.
Not all right are missing phrases – because that is no longer a character. It’s against the reader. Such mistakes escape a story.

Thanks for the star 🙂
Whether you take a break or not is completely irrelevant. This is not a factor in which you can see whether you put a comma or not. There are clear rules of German characterization.
Personally, I care that they are used correctly. But if you’re just doing the comic for fun and blowing up somewhere for free, it’s not so dramatic.
No. It’s not okay. You lose readers.
So MICH would be very disturbing and then I wouldn’t want to read the comic!
Exception: It fits the character! Then it would be great if the confused, lispelne caterpillars ran out like: “Daz iz aba ja nizz zo nizz, because it is so nizz!” XD
