I can’t star something that glorifies the horror of sidekick mills.

I’m not sure what deeper meaning this one may hold, but it sure is funny.

I think it says something about people who stick their noses into other’s business.

Or that you should never let your guard down for even the most alluring and innocuous thing. Ever.

Wondering of this reflected a dislike of horses or of vets.

This one is clearly about the entertainment that serfs were engaged for, for their benefit and the benefit of their feudal lords, in the Volga regions of Russia as they adapted out of late 19th century norms into an uncertain future.

Hmmm. I can see that. But, I always thought it spoke to the need of young adults coming of age to distract themselves from their struggle with finding their place in a post-industrialist society.

I think on another level, and in adopting the “death of the creator” hypothesis, it does speak to the universality of “play”, and the impingement of understood systems of understanding in a Jungian dialectic of the surreal or “dream” farm animal cartoon.

I’ve just spent some time looking for a strip and haven’t found it, but considering all the strips read in the process: not really time wasted.

(The strip in question: an Arab greeting a friend. “Abdul, my old friend, come in! Have you traveled far?” Abdul is leading a camel. Abdul’s butt is raised behind him and hump-shaped)

The problem with the death of the creator position is that, while untethering the interpretation from the intent frees the reader to make of the art what he will, it can also leave him cast aimlessly adrift from the shared discourse originally initiated by the author. Invocation of the archetypes of “farmer” and “animal” were chosen for a reason and should not be lightly dismissed.

This is not to dismiss the idea of that the need for play is Universal and often what the doctor ordered.

This one?

Also, a sort of converse

I think all of us with beards do that.

But not many of us look as insufferable doing it.
