Jay Rayner "I'm in this comic and I don't like it"

Crop the final panel and then it's funny

Like so it's only the last panel? Or if it's the comic minus the last panel? Or both?

I can feel the ugly guy way past his prime, but I don't like the tempo of this community. Can we skip to catharsis already?

I would like art critics more if they were explaining things that they noticed instead of telling me how I should feel.

It's kinda cool to me that there are people in the world who can really nerd out on a given piece. Explaining the style, history, context etc. That is useful to me.

Movie and book reviews are not like that however. Usually it is "I didn't like this, you shouldn't like it, let me rant about 20 things I didn't like about it that are not really relevant to JUSTIFY my subjective opinion that is also objective and you are a moron if you disagree".

Where are you reading your reviews? Most of the reviews and critiques I read online and in the odd newspaper skew positive.

Comment sections are often negative I find, though. Case in point I'm only commenting to disagree with you, so... I guess I should watch what I say lol.

Anyway hopefully you take this the right way. I feel like you're referring to a source of critique that I'm blind to

Rotten tomatoes. I don't even know why I bother anymore.

I'm on board with every type of criticism except food criticism. That one is just inherently classist.

nah, when there’s people shoving a 3 lb block of cheese up a raw turkey, we as a society can weather food criticism without it being labeled “classist.”
