Also, the latest strip was pretty good. But that might've just been because of the mental images of auto-cunnilingus.


My answer to the art teacher's question would have been, "Well, if you're looking for a deeper meaning with social commentary, here goes:

The runes reflect my belief in a mechanistic universe in which all humans, you and myself included, are really just molecules performing chemical operations like so much clockwork. Filled with neural connections that have convinced themselves beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are more important and contain deeper, 'hidden' meanings than they really do. The runes reflect my acceptance of this belief by refusing to cave into these false notions of there actually been any 'deep meanings' to anything, anywhere, for any reason and instead fill the empty space with what looks good and panders to simple pleasurable visual stimuli. The fact that you noticed them in a positive light indicates that I was successful in this."

When she would then have gone on to inform me that I was, as of that moment, flunked from her class I would have responded that this was perfectly OK because I had withdrawn from it earlier that morning already having realized that everything she was teaching was, in fact, bullshit and as such she could no longer affect my grade in any case. Rather, I was just auditing the class to see whether she actually attempted to convey any useful information instead of her typical 'deeper meanings' claptrap.

I would then have declared victory and extricated myself from the situation.

Jesus. And I wonder why my professors hated me.


That's just a really long way of saying "Because it looks good." If I was your professor, I would have just said, "Cut the crap, kid. Daylight's burning. This is a *graphic arts* class. Stop wasting everyone's time." I did have a few profs that responded to bullshit in just that way, and I loved them for it.

(and if you actually said that aloud in a class, everyone would have hated you.)
