Making anything, any sort of creative expression, has been turned into an exercise of reproducible perfection and success. The room for raw expression, unfiltered, uncultivated, was made almost shameful.
Even toddlers get their doodles apraised and evaluated in kindergarten and are directed to achieve a pre-set goal. Who cares about the individual expression and understanding of reality of a forming mind?
So we need that back. That sense of “I made this and it is good as it is because I did it”.
We deserve better. And this little comic is better.
And we need that.
