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

EDIT: We are living in the future.

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 day 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.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 5 points 1 day ago

That's the third generation.

[–] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's obviously edited because pankakke is art.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 5 hours ago

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