(Know what's the secret to great Û  ÜßßÜ  Û comed-- --TIMING!) Û ÜßßÜ Û  ßß  But, by gum, the quarantines and lockdowns stole St. Patrick's Day and Spring Break from us, Easter is going to be unavoidably marginal, and... it's not looking good for everyone's perennial favorite, Victoria Day (of course!), I'm just going to leave it at that. (Fear not everyone, the scheduled annual Blender compos are still on track for April 18th.ÿ Since you're not allowed to leave your homes, I expect to see you all there!) In defense of bad art: during the turbulent times of WWI and the Spanish flu, the cadre of absurd Dada artists holed up at the Cabaret Voltaire concluded that when the world turned ugly, only ugly art could accurately represent it -- that the role of art, as Goya had discovered, was to hold up the mirror to society and pointedly indicate all the wrongness to be found there. Things are so wrong today it's like we're almost within smelling range of the worker's paradise to be found on the other pole of the horseshoe! But I digress. Thus concludes today's cribbed note from Art History 100. So partly due to irrevocable inertia, but most importantly as a glorious, futile gesture of defiance -- against the old, decadent status quo, against the strange new turn of events, and most importantly against all sense of propriety and good taste, we bring on the tragicomic parade of jokes, mostly (half-)baked during far simpler times -- retained here as a document of the final days when frivolity was still on the table.ÿ For the next 30 days, here at Mistigris, merriment is mandatory. (Amusement is optional.)
