The Creative Act of Listening to a Talking Frog
Kermit the Frog gives a talk on creativity and creative risk-taking
We touched upon the subject of how taking no creative risks leads to creating content that is not only unoriginal, but also casually offensive.
Also, more often than not, the belief in effectiveness of tired formulas seems to go hand-in-hand with this weird conviction that anything an artist makes is inherently “creative” and therefore should not be criticized. Or revised. Which is, to say the least, a pretty damn disingenuous attitude.

Frankly, I’d say the penultimate image should give her boots with way taller and less comfortable heels than that. Then again, this comic came out in 2010, FOUR YEARS before the Samus rocket high heels.
Now, we’re well into 2015 and it still stays topical.
It’s a sad world where the parodies are so accurate they might as well prophetize the future of franchises.
