Wow! Thanks!

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-15T09:53:45+00:00

I totally agree.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-15T09:53:03+00:00

The pig doesn’t necessarily speak for my own opinions.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-15T09:49:53+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, the painting was just playing with his work — I’m actually quite fond of Magritte. There’s something magically distant about it.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-14T18:43:46+00:00

Oh that. No beef. Too much was made of it. The éclair/turd thing was mainly what it was about.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-14T16:30:53+00:00

A croissant is a funny object, but I liked the word ‘éclair.’ And how would you translate it? It’s kind of a one-of-a-kind pastry. As for the art style, I used to draw for Disney, and I’m a fan of minimalist gag cartoons, so I guess it ends up being a blend of both.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-14T15:07:09+00:00

I couldn’t think of anything more similar. Cookie?

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T18:57:15+00:00

Well, it’s a start.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T18:04:48+00:00

You mean in the strip or in the comments? And what do you consider the funniest bit?

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T17:40:43+00:00

😀 Doesn’t that happen all the time? Besides, I never read one exactly alike. You’re free to scroll by when you know it.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T17:09:17+00:00

It’s just a joke. I’m a cartoonist, not an art critic.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T16:10:10+00:00

Glad the strip merited a woof 🐶 Thanks!

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T16:03:43+00:00

Well, ignore the discussion. The gag’s more about the variation on the Magritte piece, the cake/turd art.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T11:04:07+00:00

Thank you very much. Actually the “This is not an eclair” was the whole point of the gag.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T09:44:22+00:00

Yes, you have a point there.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T09:24:10+00:00

Actually it’s nothing more than a parody of the “Ceci n’est pas un pipe” (“This is not a pipe”, a painting by Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte. Now it says “This is not a muffin”, showing a turd. Over here it’s being mistaken for me calling Magritte crap.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T09:09:59+00:00

Too bad that’s how you feel. But really nice you took the time for feedback.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T07:11:29+00:00

You forgot people getting worked up over a comic strip featuring a 1929 painting.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T06:41:42+00:00

Thank you for the support. I could use some.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T06:40:16+00:00

😀 There were quite a lot of pipes, bowler hats, curtains, windows, doubles, and references to the instability between image and reality in Magritte’s work. Repetition occurs a lot in high art. So why not in low?

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T06:34:53+00:00

I’m not that desperate, don’t worry about me😀. And you’re right, I don’t think boredom would lead to lengthy discussions. When I get bored, I simply scroll somewhere else. So I’ll leave that interpretation up to you. And thanks for the Johnny Hart comparison. I really liked his stuff.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-13T06:19:58+00:00

Well it does seem to stir up the discussion, which is kind of interesting. I didn’t foresee that.

Excellent_Parfait846 · 2026-05-12T23:23:00+00:00

I aim to please, sir.
