I noticed about this comic strip:
There is art within a comic (comics are somewhat related to art); I call that Art within an Art.
Both the painting and the Comic are non-representational, but one is mocking the other for its
non-understandability (I’m thinking of a word that rhymes with pie-rony).
The painting is a surprisingly good example of analogous and complementary color schemes.
The emotion of the painting is somewhat related to the emotion evoked by laughter. I feel myself tickled and squeezed a bit by the comic and the paining in the same manner.
Oh yeah, and I didn’t go to Art School…per se
The man(?)/ogre standing to the right of the painting is strangely floating. Notice that he has no cast-shadow. By the absence of a shadow I can only gather that he is either a strange ghost dwarf-manchild, or a floating jellobaby. Floating things and ghosts don’t usually have distinct shadows like normal people on the ground.
To whom do the words in the comic belong (there is no speech bubble)? Is it the jello-dwarf-manbaby? Or is it the omniscient narrator?

Hello out there

So I figure I should put something up here about my life since that’s one of the final causes of this here blog. I switched from the Diocese of Dallas and joined the Diocese of Tyler, which is sweet. And now I’m not in the seminary in Dallas; I’m in the seminary in Philadelphia. I’m at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. It’s pretty legit. Go to this website and look a the pictures of the campus. It’s really pretty.
I won’t be able to go back to Texas until December probably, so I think I’m going to try and crash at St. Greg’s over Thanksgiving. BTDubs, does anyone have Sercer’s number? Because SGA is only 2.5 hours from me.

Oh, and one more thing. I don’t get to wear a cassock for another two months. But when I do, that’ll be legit too! Because cassocks are legit! Just ask Sugar. Or Neal.

Response to "Typical Anne"

I want to respond to Mr. Kane’s most recent post by posting something that has nothing to do with anything he said.

Here are two quotes, by two dissimilar poets: John Donne and ee cummings. The quotes are about philosophy vs. poetry and wonder.
“[T]he clarity of literal language satisfies the intellect by giving knowledge, while the obscurity of figurative language stimulates the intellect to search further by causing wonder.”
-Donne, John. Devotions

“not for philosophy does this rose give a damn”
-cummings, ee. voices to voices, lip to lip
