Is stuff like supermegacomics the post-modern equivalent of literature?
Is stuff like supermegacomics the post-modern equivalent of literature?
Supermega was an ironic meme years before ironic memes reached any level of popularity.
It isn't ironic, it's post-ironic.
>the post-modern equivalent of literature
>implying books aren't dead
It goes even further than that. It has such a sincere love in being totally weird, it transcends post-irony.
Post-post-irony. I can see it.
Honestly the comic in the OP is the first non-music media I've cried to in a very long time. It's absolutely brilliant in both idea and execution.
Is this just some anti-bluepill meme
yes
no
No it's absurdist
Absurdism and pomo are deeply linked user
maybe
I have free will but I choose to oscillate
Post more come on
You really ought to go to the creator's page if you like these.
I dont get it
I liked this one
i don't know
what about jerkcity?
It's about the fact that both me and you would consider the q-keyboard and the feels good button useless and redundant, yet they allow the characters to express themselves in authentic and meaningful ways we couldn't even conceive of. We, in a kneejerking fashion, perceive the characters as foolish, and yet they are happy. And here we are, trying to make sense of the disorder around us, foolishly deluding ourselves into thinking that our posts are more meaningful than a series of the letter "q" or the pure, cathartic expression of "feels good"
Get your meta-ironic pseud shit out of here you nigger. Go create your own thread.

>mfw i just now learned about him releasing a book and preordering one in the span of ~10 min
HOLY SHIT
What about Mountain Time?
When will Bloom add this to the western canon?
>that subtle commentary on excessive consumerism
>the repeating theme of herd mentality
>the sudden betrayal of a purely alturistic ally, subverting classical christian values
This is what the 21st century literature is all about. Postmodernism has not failed, it has elevated us above the shackles of the sensible.
The aggressors did nothing wrong. This is the purest form of humanity and should be exalted
Can you repeat the question?
Truly - the right to an unified community, even if based on a lie, is fundamental to a functional society. If we marginalize those on the outskirts, we are doomed to end up like them. What an insightful piece of art.

>tfw to intelligent to understand shitty internet comics
What is the IQ of the guy who draws these? must be above 140 for sure...
Plese continue to frame your ignorance as a strength.
IQ is a meaningless number but he's gotta be pretty smart, yeah.
Damn this sucks compared to whatever OP posted.
Why is that?
I think you might be overthinking it.
Fuck off.
Were you post-ironically overthinking it?
There's no such thing as over-thinking. Take your anti-intellectual sentiments to another board.
...
>dude nothing is right or wrong lmao
Po mo was a mistake.
This is some Bkub stuff.
How did you get that from my post?
damn these comics are deep as fuck
These comics are legitimately above my intellect
themes which transcend Gnosticism and return to some kind of pure mystery animism
Some of these are actually quite easy to grasp- such profundity in a simple comic.
There is something here
I don't know how he does it
It's frustrating to know I don't have half the spark this guy has
...
classic
How the fuck can this random dude make such hard hitting statements in a shitty Ms paint comic while philosophers spend years trying to figure this out, it just don't make no sense
This is just samefagging right? These comics are actually just nonsensical and have no deeper meaning at all, right? Or am I just too dumb for these?
...
I don't get it.
Exactly.
This is my personal favorite
This one is really easy to understand for all you brainlets out there
...
You're wasting your life.
...
Fuck I love this one
another classic
I actually get these
>tfw too dumb for the ones that other user was posting
This one is unironically great ironically
Bigger res
>ywn have his genius
wow this actually hits me on a personal level. I need some time alone...
Fuck's sake how many layers does this have?
...
None.
...
ITT: over analyzing and acting like these comics drawn by a man for a couple cheap laughs have any hidden meanings in them.
anti-intellectuals
Thanks OP
Found the brainlet, guys. The meaning is literally right there for you, if only you could see it.
I know im probably gettting fucking massively trolled right now but still, tell me the meanings of these and I'll admit defeat, because right know these are just funny.
these are pretty old

Well obviously it's impossible to say for sure because there is a lot of complexity to these works and many different interpretations, as well as the fact you can't always understand authorial intent.
The jellyfish one is pretty straightforward though. It's about how we are blinded by our own biases and viewpoints. Our own jellyfish, so to speak. The man sees everything as a jellyfish because there is a jellyfish in front of him, just as our view of the world is distorted and blinds us to the truth.

Greg is feeling useless in a world that literally has no use for him. He's trying to be clever by pranking Robert with a banana but unknown to him everyone else was pranking Robert with the exact same joke. Robert appreciates the sentiment behind the joke but the damage is done. Greg has been exposed as only one of many in a world with not enough validation to go around.
I think the slide one is a statment about capitalism and it's pervasiveness. We rely on it to satisfy our needs but when it fails our needs go unsatisfied.
Hahahah this one got me good
This one is seriously GOAT.
Not that user, but if it is impossible to overthink anything then all works deserve the same amount of thought then all works are equal.
what did he mean by this?
ITT
this isn't even ironic though. it is unfunny though.
what makes you say it isn't ironic?
