Here's another icebreaker strip involving my opinions on relationships. And judging by Emmy's face in the fourth panel, even she thinks Bruce's claims are farfetched. Let's hear out your thoughts on this relationship game.
Be on the lookout for more Bruce Strips coming out every Sunday.

no great artists have ever struggled, a famous thing about artists that we all know. everyone prior to three years ago lived lives of luxury.
![the stupid 'talent is a gatekeeping mechanism' thread that's going around, three posts reading:
tired of having these arguments so i'm gonna lay out the STARK reality of AI for some of you privileged fucks:
1. "talent" is a gatekeeping mechanism that has created a culture of professionalism that is no less of an ivory tower than academia, a moralized proxy for access to time, training, money.
2. being poor means having to make hard choices like:
[a] drawing something yourself in a way society would call "bad" (i.e. unprofessional)
[b] sacrificing resources you don't have to pay a real artist what they're worth (or learn yourself)
[c] not doing it at all, or
[d] using AI.
“just don’t use AI” is a luxury position. when people moralize choices made under scarcity, they’re pretending the menu is the same for everyone. it fucking isn’t.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dei7f7zh74xr3hoghei6ke3d/bafkreig5uei5qn5bkwhgniorhoyesfs73ovo76xwfk2yxprmtnbde4cvp4@jpeg)

Cherubs are in fact originally described as beings with four faces (one human, one lion, one ox, and one eagle) and two pairs of eagle wings, and are said to be preservers of knowledge, kind of like librarians.

Fun fact: Cherubs wouldn't have been the right name for the winged children with magic love arrows. Their best way to refer to them are Putto or Putti.

Might be a fine way to start off what I like to call an "icebreaker" comic strip. As Penny explains Fabulia's take on Valentine's Day, Bruce has his own two cents on relationships in general. Of course, I'll admit, the last half must've been, shall we say, going off track.
