-which is why comic strip characters are always monsters, and why they are unconsciously seductive.Anguish distorts life until it becomes all but unrecognizable, meaningless and devitalized.Existence in a wasteland of its own as well as the world's making.
An allegory of the artist's situation between earth and heaven remains a wishful dream, the spiritual subtlety together with grotesque cartoon figures in a dialectic of transcendence.
Anguish and melancholy may be temporarily alleviated and leavened by luminosity.
