Metapost: The first step is admitting you have a problem
Post Content
Actual conversation conducted mere moments ago between myself (TCC) and the future Mrs. Curmudgeon (TFMC) about the issue of hipster music magazine Magnet that just arrived in our mailbox:
TFMC: You know, Sleater-Kinney is on the cover of Magnet. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen women on the cover.
TCC: Uh huh.
TFMC: I also think it’s the first time I’ve seen people smiling on the cover. Usually they’re too cool for school.
TCC: Yeah, those girls are sly. They have sly smiles on the cover.
TFMC: Uh huh.
TCC: But not, you know, sly like Sally Forth.
There you go, kids: indie rock to mass-market newspaper comics in three moves! I have problems.
