Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for July 29, 2023

And if you’re an indie artist you’re also your own marketing team, bookkeeper and editor. There’s a reason we’re insane.

Usually, I just make it up as a I go.

There is some really baaaaad art out there. “I paint what I feel.” “Then you must not feel very good.” —Rockford Files

And that was Verne, the pessimistic turtle. He’ll be back later with his bovine buddy.

I thought we were still waiting for Great Art to be achieved…

I swear that some of the art getting sold is just a way to launder money.

You better be careful that AI art doesn’t beat you to the punch, Verne.

I know this was just a coincidence (if you believe in coincidences) but this is especially true with the passing of Sinead O’Connor.

I absolutely, adorably, love Verne.

Mediocre art is produced easily and often.

So that is why I never made it as an artist. I’m not insane enough. Nor do I have enough patience.

Is it true that most art is abandoned, vs finished?

I like the art in the last panel.
