I think it's about time we got serious and started fighting all the horrors
Both. We need both
Read up on Discordianism. Fight the horrors with silliness.
Do not remove the load-bearing whimsy
That line really resonated:
I feel a lot of sympathy for the Dadaists, who started their absurdism movement in reaction to the horrors of WWI.
I think it's beyond sympathy and well into empathy now
I do, deep down. Whose art is this?
I wish I knew
Appears to be "Wizard of Barge", they posted it on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DK-RCnsylj8/ and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bargewizard/posts/1300488548115144/
Their web store has similar style prints, though not this exact one https://wizardofbarge.com/collections/prints-and-zines
Damn I haven't looked at facebook in a long time, it's almost repulsive to look at.
Great that you found the artist.
I always find it interesting when I see cool popular art that is extremely difficult to attribute to the original artist who created it. I guess it happens because it's so popular that different renditions occur and the original artist didn't try to take ownership?
extremely difficult to attribute to the original artist
Not particularly difficult, a search engine helped find an attribution of this in a few minutes. https://lemmy.world/post/41093754/21347534
Which search engine?
Literally just put this in https://duckduckgo.com/?q=we+must+remain+silly+cartoon and it popped up in the top results.
Yea this was the problem, I saw it, but it was from other sites that don't attribute the original.
The main issue I had was variants from other sources, and other sources that posted this art but without the original link.
Have you considered using the no AI version of duckduckgo? Props to the lemminator that shared this with me. Sorry I forgot who you were and where I learned this.
I cant afford my living expenses LMAO.
Molotovs and revolution can be silly if you make it so. Dress your enemies as clowns before thier execution maybe?
I’m afraid I lost my whimsy long ago, and I don’t know how to get it back.
No. You need to act.
Trying times, eh? Better go boil an egg or 12
Chicken caviar? How luxurious.
Me: Being silly Friends whose doesn't get the joke:
