who knows, it really is a view of ppl in comics as entities you know on the internet as personalties rather than ‘oh these are ppl’. if you have an issue with an obit choice, im even cool with you commenting elsewhere on it. but beneath the obit itself, jesus.

i mean, whatever, say what you want to say, but with obits, these are people beyond your internet filtered idea of who these ppl are and how ppl know them.

two recent obits on TCJ feature ppl in the comments complaining about some aspect of the obit writers character. not something i should bother pointing out, but you do know friends and family of deceased read the obits, right? & then they see you in the comments talking about some unrelated issue?

they sorta feel like the dire reality of comics: this is a product made for unhappy plumbers.

bob layton comics are for people with deep, severe depression, they feel unpleasant to look at, like they were made by computers but if computers existed during the stone age. am I a fan? i guess, sure.

you could say she's not surrealist because it's a grift, but I think it's a grift mixed with some actual belief, sorta how Breton didn't actually 'believe' in whatever he's going on about in Magnetic Fields.

you could say that about a lot of prominent contemporary political pundits, though she is kind of the best (also the worst) at it. It is of course super destructive and dangerous, but not sure if less/more than traditional corporate media.

Candace Owens is basically a contemporary surrealist, sorta just believing whatever fantastic thoughts occur and following them further/embellishing them, much more orthodox surrealism than someone making a painting of a weird looking face.
