Is there ESO comics making fun of the game culture/traditions/gameplay/etc?

Nowadays people are fed short bursts of information that have no long term payoff or plot because they are now conditioned to have a low attention span due to social media and the internet. AKA the one page Meme used over and over again for the similar situations.
Back in the day, I could read countless fan made comics that made fun about stuff that happens in games/mmos. Unfortunately those sites didn't last the test of time and are gone. I was just wondering is there some sort of place that has such things? I really don't want to have to accept the same old memes. I loved the comics because they had their own unique art styles and unique but relatable stories. Since it was a series some even had great payoffs throughout them.
Obviously the fact that vine can be relaunched by another and called tiktok and be successful proves this artform is possibly dead but before I write it off I wanted to know if there was someone out there who knew of such a place before I just go ahead and quit looking.

Daraklus✭✭✭✭Can't say I know of any such comics. Not much of a game-related comics person.
I did however used to write game-related stories in the perspective of a character I was playing. Used to write a series of stories through the eyes of a Nord adventurer, but... That kinda went sideways as I lost motivation to continue it.1 -

✭My daughter and I are creating a series of silly animated eso adventures. I’m wouldn’t say they are meant specifically to “make fun” of the culture. More just to be silly within the genre.
Here are the links for the first two. Third is in production.

I used to read Penny Arcade comic years ago and I think you can still see old episodes of The Guild on YouTube although that was more around WoW but some of it still relevant to all mmo's
