Earlier this year Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes revealed - for the first time - a work of art from his post-comics retirement. For the past 16 years he's been teaching himself to paint in different styles, mostly for his own amusement, but this year he contributed a portrait to a Parkinson's fundraiser.

EDIT: It's NOT Calvin. It's a character from the comic strip written by the guy running the fundraiser.

Thanks for that Brian. Good stuff.

I don't know what to say about this. It looks funny but creepy at the same time. It looks like in his eyes, he can tell he looks funny and feels awkward and a little bit sad/angry about it. It's like you can laugh at him until you notice his eyes. Then it starts getting weird...

That is something that could only be appreciated in person. I love complexity.

Just found this interesting piece:

Postmodernism is dead

I have some good news—kick back, relax, enjoy the rest of the summer, stop worrying about where your life is and isn't heading. What news? Well, on 24th September, we can officially and definitively declare that postmodernism is dead. Finished. History. A difficult period in human thought over and done with. How do I know this? Because that is the date when the Victoria and Albert Museum opens what it calls "the first comprehensive retrospective" in the world: "Postmodernism—Style and Subversion 1970-1990."

Wait, I hear you cry. How do they know? And what was it? Postmodernism—I didn't understand it. I never understood it. How can it be over?
