Commenter on Daily Cartoonist sulking about the new Flash Gordon comic strip by saying, 'People who like the new Flash Gordon’s drawings must also like Pablo Picasso' and ... like ... wow, heck of a burn there for 1908, Extraordinarily Old Person.

@Austin_Dern so.... trying to insult someone by comparing their art to a famous and well-respected artist?? that's not a good insult
-F

@Felthry Right? It's almost gorgeous how much the insult doesn't work.

@Austin_Dern @Felthry It's because they don't think Picasso was a "proper" artist and other absolute bullshit

@DarkOverord @Felthry It's certainly that; I'm just amazed to see this 'modern artists like Picasso aren't real artists' stuff outside, well, a comic strip.
