mini kuš! #132: The Big Spill - Food-Based Stunts Go Viral in Janne Marie Dauer’s Satirical Short – Broken Frontier

Janne Marie Dauer’s ‘The Big Spill’ takes the 'mini kuš!' minicomics series in a decidedly candy-based direction.

Shakespeare's romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet prompts this exploration of the intimate as the Other. Pictures draw us to behold and snuggle into them, only to wield their subsemiotic powers counter to interpretation. Performing this extimité in the art realm can help us grasp the many cultural-ecological disasters of our time.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,

Charles M. Schulz"

We’ve reopened our webshop! Enjoy free worldwide shipping — except for the US. Unfortunately, shipping to the US is only possible through private carriers at the moment, and it’s quite expensive. kushkomikss.ecrater.com
