Suits think EVERYONE is a spark plug. They don’t have a clue why this guy they paid to draw Batman didn’t wake up one day and become Frank Miller. They can’t tell the difference between Frank Miller and another creator.

Suits, of course, love AI art.
Processed cheese pictures made up of the real pictures made by real human beings, easily replaced on the cheap.

It never takes off in America. A prophet is without honor in his own land.
But that doesn’t matter. How could it matter? You are perhaps the most creatively self-actualized man who has ever lived.
Look at that vampire.
He’s coming in hot and a hundred Venetian nuns gave their lives to make his ludicrously capacious lace sleeves.

I know I’m probably the last to stumble on this, but given “AI” and “Copilot” and all that jazz, this is even more side-splittingly funny
