  • Neat. It’s like your mind sees a lot of emotional subtext when that meaning is not necessarily there, at least in a comic. I’m sure you look at things in life in the same way, except your point of view is much more useful and practical there, given that subtext is king in reality.

    There should be some type of new art form or art genre that seeks to replicate this juxtaposition of happiness and environment, which creates feelings of the surreal.

    I sometimes wonder how pure and positive cartoon characters would react to our world. What would be their daily routine?

    I see what you mean about framing given the context. Mental health is too important to waste it worrying about things mostly out of our control. Maybe comic guy is just trying to take a day off from frowning? Haha

    Little side excerpt here: I’ve been meeting a lot more people like you lately. People that connect highly emotionally with media content (you), and also react highly emotionally with other people (in the case of the people I know). This is in stark contrast to myself and other people I know who are jaded to this type of experience and only seem to “feel” stuff in an indirect way, or a culturally coded way in order to protect their mind from potential trauma. I believe that’s called an avoidant personality or something. Reading your original comment just helps me to open my mind to new ways of being and experiencing when all I’m used to is what I’ve already encoded in my behavior from others. Anyway, thanks for the insight!

    Edit: went too deep than is socially acceptable.
