JJ: Basically, Mike, the fragmented surfaces speak to the vulgarity of recent image appropriation. They celebrate continuity while deploring the sterility of post-graffiti solidism. A comment on a comment, if you will. Mike: Oh. Isn't that our wedding china? JJ: The viewer won't know that. To him, it's the shards of the American dream.

It’s always easier to complain than to make light of a situation.
Some people aren’t born with a funny bone they’d rather pick one with someone else.
I wish people like comicssfan had that ability to turn their pain into humor. They’d feel a lot better and so would we.
