I remember Tortise vs. Hare I. me and my buddies tailgated before the big contest. red kool aid and oatmeal cookies back by the reading table.
i was always a hare guy. my dad, my whole family were big hare supporters. from way back.
the race started out great. a complete ass kicking was taking place. there was no WAY tortise could catch up (i thought.) i taunted some tortise people, then went back and threw down a few red ones with some of my fellow hare fans.
yeah, you know what happened next. you can imagine my shock when i arrived back at my desk and heard the news. at first i refused to believe it. how could hare lose? he's fucking hare! and tortise is... tortise.
over the next several years i witnessed, both by word of mouth and through various illustration styles, hare getting beat again and again. i guess i just got used to it.
eventually i jumped on the tortise bandwagon. not because i liked him any more than hare, but because its more fun to make tortise out of construction paper.

Apropos your comment yesterday: I know what you mean, about there being too much out there already. I guess I justify my own contributions in the "that shit sucks and/or is wrong" sense. Not to mention, culture is accelerating just fine regardless of what I do. There'd have to be a movement dedicated to cutting down on culture for there to be any point to that (and what a dull movement that'd be...I can just hear the rallying cry "...*..." or somesuch).
Oops, now I'm ranting. Later.
And you may want to cut back on the cough syrup.
