And we have come full circle. Finally. That was a bit tiring to be honest and I did not know what Curt’s game was. But I knew there was something.
I am happy we got to the bottom of that.
But I would do a disservice to Curt if I said I did not agree with him because I do. It is interesting in this day and age of social media and how we can determine the value of a thing or a piece of art. Is it by the number of likes, upvotes, hearts, or whatever the metric is? Or is simply the act of creation enough in itself to give something value? Why are we, as human beings, inspired to create? The act of creation is a tale as old as time and it might stand beside the act of survival. Do we need to create in order to survive? Do we have the urge and need to shout at the heavens in order to express ourselves or to be heard? Where are we?
I assure you as I write this on a Sunday morning that I am not sipping a glass of red wine or something stronger. But this episode from Franka made me reflect and wonder. The business of comic books is art, commercial art if you will, but still art. And it is something that I and a lot of people love and will continue to love. I suppose I am thankful for that.
Okay, now it is time for breakfast. Have a good week.
