Cartoons Can Be Car-fusing
What an editorial cartoon that was published today, huh? It balanced edge and insight to provide a cutting and clever jab at campus culture. “Yes,” You heartily agree, “because of your biting critique of sororities’ use of cultish uniformity!” And to this I say…not so much.
Yes, to make fun of a sorority is like, say… making fun of a fraternity; it’s much too easy. The comic today was meant to be a critique of our young college society as a whole. Too often people find it convienient and fulfilling to mock establishments like Greek Houses, when what is being critiqued is just as prevelant outside the system. Sure plenty of sorority members look like the frumpy, shoeless aliens in the comic, but I know plenty of “independents” that do as well. Guys are probably even worse at looking like clones, but those crazy sunglasses are a lot more fun to draw than ill-fitting jeans. All in all, I think society needs to not feel a desire to fit into a mold, and also a drastic change in fashion sense…Oh, bt DUBS, did you see the new spring line from North Face?
Oooo, I like the boots….and it seems thong sandals are in, LOOKING GOOD!
