What I love every time I see this comic is that Alex knew he would be persecuted for his art, and has accepted it.

Don't let other people's opinions dictate your self-expression. Who cares if your teacher doesn't see your work as "art"? Create things for yourself

Alex actually might have a fan base though. I doubt whatever pleases this teacher would excite the public.

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, Alex is going to make some cash and have an art career. Unlike his teacher.

(Teachers are great and put up with all the dumb shit kids create, so not knocking teachers. Just dunking on this joke.)

Real artist accepts the risk of getting shamed for their art.

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

There’s a difference between getting shamed or stoned for their work.

And the first one is something being stoned would make better, while the second one would get you stoned.

Shit...I want Alex's "opposite of art" on a t-shirt.

EDIT: We are living in the future.

"Alex has produced something called a 'commission.'"

"If he has money in his pocket he ain't a real artist."

Lol I didn’t realize that the pankakke version wasn’t the original.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's obviously edited because pankakke is art.

but then, spider-man making love to goku (which is what it was in the original) is art too

[–] Paradachshund 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've seen so many edits of this comic I realized I no longer remember the original

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think the original is Spider-Man making love to goku

That's the third generation.

Can't remember the details, but an art teacher discovers that a student is selling erotic art on Patreon earning more than the teacher...
