Yes. The word choice is exquisite; "loose" got me, right as I was visually interpreting the scene. Larson is a genius.
Hmmm - my interpretation is that this is an example of a "prompt" for a generative AI "artist", and the result was something that "craps" over the original intention of the "house on a hillside"... (so, a bit of a commentary on generative art from someone who was professional cartoonist)
I think you are applying the wrong decade(s) of thought. This is a man who had to clean his pen to use it - it is very likely he is using artists "prompts" to practice his digital art (as he mentions its very new to him), which is something that was normal before the current era.
For the benefit of me 30 minutes ago baffled by the responses to this down thread, this is perhaps a r/BirdsArentReal thing? e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/BirdsArentReal/comments/1n1yr3d/wha...
This exact chain of interactions is what I come to HN for.
When Meat Loaf died, I commented "His name was Robert Paulsen" (you know, because in death membersbof project mayhem do have names, his name was Robert Paulsen". Someone commented something to the effect of no it wasn't, meat loaf wasn't his real name it was Marvin Aday, and then someone else commented to their comment "It's literally a fucking line from the movie".
I dont know why these layers of weirdness delight me so, but they do.
Thanks for the pterodactyl shit commentary folks.
The caption is what really sells it for me. It is the classical farside experience.
Looks at comic, (shrugs) it's weird but not funny in any way. Reads caption
"Art assignment: Paint a house on a hillside overlooking a bay or valley. Stay loose; play with color. Try to capture a mood. Think of something to add."
Literal spit take and laugh. Yep he still has the touch.
