Comics about art | Roonie the Rabbit

One of the Greats

A bird paints. BIRD (thinking): I consider myself one of the great artists of my time.

The bird pauses and looks around.

The Life of An Artist

BIRD: Look... I'm an artist. I create something from NOTHING.

BIRD: My work touches souls! Shapes minds! Changes lives! With these hands... I can touch the face of GOD!

Create

BIRD: I truly feel I've been put here to create art. SQUIRREL: By whom?

BIRD: Someone with a grand plan.

Polite

A bird shows a painting to a fox and a rabbit. BIRD: How is it? And be polite! FOX: Hmm, now... What's a polite way to say, "It looks like garbage."

The bird angrily storms away.

Shrugs

A rabbit and a squirrel react to a bird's painting. RABBIT: I don't think I... GET it. SQUIRREL: I get it. It's... FINE.

BIRD (thinking): (sigh) I pour out my soul. And all I get is two SHRUGS.

God Speaks

BIRD (thinking): When I create art, it's like God is speaking through me.

The bird paints.

Doodle

SQUIRREL: If this is just a doodle, it's incredible.

SQUIRREL: But if you put a lot of time into this... it's pretty pathetic.

All I Want

BIRD: ((All I want is for people to like my art.))

BIRD: ((And to not have to work too hard to make it.))

BIRD: ((And to get vast sums of money, fame, and fortune for it.))

BIRD: ((Is that so much to ask?))

Flow

ROONIE: They're in a FLOW STATE. Their every movement is in step with the one before. Time has slowed for them. They are nearing... perfection.

PITTMAN: HA! Done!

FLYNN: Macaroni art?
PITTMAN: PERFECT macaroni art!

ROONIE: Flow states can be for dumb stuff too, y'know.
PITTMAN: Quick!! I need more farfalle!

Progress

SHELKEY: Well, I've made a lot of progress as an artist this year.

SHELKEY: I've been boring, derivative, lazy, and pandering.

Great Art

SHELKEY: Great art takes time.

A pause.

Checks watch.

SHELKEY: So maybe I'll just go for "OK" art.
