    What I love every time I see this comic is that Alex knew he would be persecuted for his art, and has accepted it.

      Don’t let other people’s opinions dictate your self-expression. Who cares if your teacher doesn’t see your work as “art”? Create things for yourself

      Alex actually might have a fan base though. I doubt whatever pleases this teacher would excite the public.

        Yeah, Alex is going to make some cash and have an art career. Unlike his teacher.

        (Teachers are great and put up with all the dumb shit kids create, so not knocking teachers. Just dunking on this joke.)

    Real artist accepts the risk of getting shamed for their art.

      There’s a difference between getting shamed or stoned for their work.

      And the first one is something being stoned would make better, while the second one would get you stoned.

    Shit…I want Alex’s “opposite of art” on a t-shirt.

    EDIT: We are living in the future.

    Can’t remember the details, but an art teacher discovers that a student is selling erotic art on Patreon earning more than the teacher…
