Josh have you ever read the comic Astro City? Great victim of this same sort of misunderstanding. Anything with a little specific detail and emotional depth gets called "realistic." I guess to readers or watchers it feels "real" and they misrecognize that as some sort of rationalism

Sorry I'm trying to change it

This is sooooo good lol I'm gonna write in on the next prius I see with permement marker

Finally someone who understands!
