I've actually noticed that a large majority of art students are very inconsiderate and selfish. My girlfriend had a similar problem at her school. Only her assholes were ceramics majors; playing with her pottery, leaving tools lying around, not sealing up or putting away glaze tubs. Now I'm not saying all art majors are assholes just a large majority of them. So I can understand how you feel.

Something of that sort once happened to me, but it was just one person.

I just started college this year, I hope that this never happens to me!
By the way, I really love your work!

I can sympathize. I often have to make and mount posters on foam core. I am forced to go outside the building. I know that the 3M adhesive I use is a pain. The hairs on my arms always wind up feeling sticky in a creepy way.

Good grief! I hate those sprays, they're one of the pieces of the art tool world that I absolutely cannot use (I have severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivity -- you think *you're* paranoid about toxic sprays?? That stuff would put me in hospital were it not for the fact that the air in hospitals makes me so sick that I can't go into one unless I'm basically going to die if I don't...), but to have a place that's meant to make them as safe as possible for those who can use them, and then disregard all safety precautions as well as the integrity of someone else's artwork...
...well, all I can say is that you're right. No jury OF YOUR PEERS would convict, that's for certain.
I'm glad you got your revenge. If it had been me, I'd have done FAR worse to them -- -- as much as I could, that is, before I either collapsed, stopped breathing, or passed out... *sigh*
Meanwhile, I'm really enjoying the character development. Wow, another Dan Shive comic to read! Whee!

The fine arts students really are inconsiderate towards the ADSN students when it comes to using the spray booth that's for sure... it is so tiny with just those two tables... The other week I was mounting some stuff and there was this fine arts guy just spraypainting designs the walls and the floors (as if they haven't been sprayed enough) and he was polite enough to hold of spraying for 30 seconds upon my entry then went right at it again... and it was the strongest, foulest smelling spray paint I've ever witnessed...
...personally... I think we should get a spray booth for the ADSN dept. only....

In that case, it is totally justified--both beating him on the head with a spray can and making a satirical comic about the whole incident.

School I go to doesn't have a spray room at all, and it's a friggin' art-only college. And the whole building has shared vents. So, we have to spray at home... >.<
Horrible, horrible sprays...

Wow, I never been in a situation like that. I was instructed to use Aquanet to seal the charcoal, cause it's nice and cheap.

That stinks! I'm in a figure drawing class over at the college next to my school, and I hate using charcoal (however, it's a requirement) and it gets ALL OVER THE PLACE. I definitely understand what you mean.

Well at least you have a lot of charcoal users there. My art class was nothing but a bunch of jock/cheerleaders who just needed a quickie A+.

Gee whiz. When I took an art class, I was told never to spray indoors or take sprayed items indoors too soon, because it was potentially deadly.

and that's why I'm no longer in art class!
Actually it was because the teacher thought my shading sucked and told my parents that I should not be in Drawing and Painting 2.... U_U

Oman, we don't have a special room to spray our stuff when we're done drawing it. The teacher made us go outside in the windy day to spray it. Man did that suck.

Second Panel: Worst dialouge ever? Maybe not but it doesn't make any sense. Venting some?

DanShive In reply to Ankhareon [2008-03-03 06:24:44 +0000 UTC]
Well, a jolly slap in the face to you, too.
What doesn't make sense about it? He's forcing his way in (OUT OF MY WAY), he considers his task more important than hers (NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN), and he's using a spray to preserve his charcoal drawing (THE PRESERVATION OF MY CRAPPY CHARCOAL DRAWING).
Other than the fact that it's clearly over the top for comedic reasons (just look at his face in panel 3) and the inclusion of the word "CRAPPY" to describe his own work, what he's saying makes perfect sense.
And yes, I am venting. Notice the huge rant that went with the comic?

Ankhareon In reply to DanShive [2008-03-03 08:26:57 +0000 UTC]
Thankee kindly sir
I said it probably "wasn't" the worst dialouge ever (I have seen muchworse), but it still rather bad in that it's really isn't something I can ever see someone saying.
Before you point out (again) it's obviously not supposed to be realistic I'll explain that it's (obviously) never a problem I've had - I don't identify with the rant so I don't find it funny - I get that it's something that would be frustrating but having never observed something similar I just see it as lack of subtlety rather than actual comedy.
Much like some poem I read. I'm assured the writer was influential but I see him as a talentless hack because I don't identify with his work and just read it at face value, conciously ignoring the metaphor.
(...No I'm not saying you're a talentless hack. I'm saying he is.)

Happened to me at a con, some jerk shoved me out of the way while I was walking into an elevator because he was going down and I wanted to go up and had pushed the up button.
He actually said "MOVE, I HAVE TO GET TO MY SHITY PANEL!"
I saw his panel later... he was right, it sucked. Only 3 people there and 1 of them was his mom (I asked, then I told on him). He was 45.
