I'm sensing some kinda of butthurt from modern art. either he enjoyed it and got shat on, or he got out-arted by someone who used it. Wonder if he'll discuss it next time.

I like the phrase "out-arted."

I love this sooo much!

Me thinks he might ask him to pose naked in the middle of the art gallery. :3

I like the little goat guy.

Please explain your feeling of modern art!

As an art historian, I'm with you, Willy. :)

I think this might end up being my favorite moment in thus comic. Willy's description of the difference between modern art (sloppy representation of events with no skill) versus real artwork with skill and intent, undercut by Cody's pointed and cheeky question about the nature of art, followed by Willy stating with a bit of sadness that the truth about art upsets him...

It's amazing just how much character exposition is written in just one page.

Sounds like my life when I was an "Art Student" going for his BFA portfolio reveiw: In a Acedemia self-limited to Abstract Expressionism and "Post-Modern Angry-Activist-and Exclusively-Leftist Art", someone whose style (and more importaintly VOICE) was deemed "too illustrative," and was promptly rejected. Causing me to do a mad dash to refile my graduation papers (now downgraded to a BA instead).

The one word of encouragement came from the dept. accedemic advisor, a ceramicist, who said this "doesn't make you any less of an artist."

Hmmm, little twerp's an intellectual.

Seems like his view on art is a mix of, "must have technique" and also "art should be an escape, not a release." He acknowledges modern art may be more accurate to "life" and doesn't like that part about it, which I can understand.
