Editing Talk:1496: Art Project

What is "Cutie"? If we're introducing a new character name, I'd say it would be the last "Megan". Her hair is longer and therefore not the prototypical Megan. Should the names be switched? [[User:Azule|Azule]] ([[User talk:Azule|talk]]) 06:19, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
:Someone on the internet is wrong - so I'm switching things around. Megan is number 2, and Danish is number 4. [[User:Pmw57|Pmw57]] ([[User talk:Pmw57|talk]]) 07:33, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
:Not convinced. I think number 2 is a character we haven't seen before, and number 4 is Megan. Her hair's not much longer than usual, and a LOT shorter than Danish's.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.4|141.101.99.4]] 14:14, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
::This is definitely not Danish, who has much longer hair, and should be meaner or at least with Black Hat, and number two girl has much shorter hair than Megan. I have corrected this error- --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 15:11, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

The first one looks like a selfie?--[[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.144|108.162.250.144]] 06:43, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

The art projects all appear to be examples of narcissism, as the artists are only showing themselves. {{unsigned ip|108.162.216.190}}

This comic is obviously poking fun at those projects of people taking a photo of themselves every day for several months/years and upload the resulting video to YouTube. --[[User:NeatNit|NeatNit]] ([[User talk:NeatNit|talk]]) 08:13, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

The last seems to be a reference to "Andy Warhol eating a Hamburger" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejr9KBQzQPM

Isn't it (partially) satire on "Boyhood"? --[[User:JakubNarebski|JakubNarebski]] ([[User talk:JakubNarebski|talk]]) 08:42, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

The first art project also reminds me of the performance of John Cage's A(s)SL(ow)(a)SP(ossible) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Slow_as_Possible) in Halberstadt which has a sceduled duration of 639 years.--[[Special:Contributions/108.162.254.32|108.162.254.32]] 10:01, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Some people live long enough that a picture every 100 years could be taken twice in a lifetime. [[User:Djbrasier|Djbrasier]] ([[User talk:Djbrasier|talk]]) 19:21, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
:Agreed.  People have lived to 122, and it's easy to imagine an 18-year old student starting this project and taking another picture at the age of 118.  Lifespans will probably keep increasing too. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.156|108.162.237.156]] 20:41, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
:: He could be one of these Singularitarian guys, and geniunely believe he'll live for multiple centuries. And to be fair, considering the clearly advancing tech level, if Cueball here is still a teenager, him surviving another 100 years isn't ''that'' unlikely.

Do we need the long note about Megan? [[User:Djbrasier|Djbrasier]] ([[User talk:Djbrasier|talk]]) 00:46, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

:I don't think the long note on Megan/Not Megan is warranted on this page. I'm not sure where it would go, but this isn't the right place for a discussion on character designations. --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 10:44, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

:: Can it be moved to the [[Megan]] page? For example, the [[Cueball]] page states that there can be multiple Cueballs in a comic, perhaps this is a case with multiple Megans? Maybe the thing to do is to edit some of the discussion and move it to Megan's page with a note that this is a case where Megan (everywoman) appears twice in a comic. I concur with the consensus from the discussion above that her hair is too short for #4 character to be [[Danish]].

::: I think this is important to put here to avoid people changing it again and again. As far as I know this is the first time two girls looking like Megan appears in the same comic (although I have not read all yet.) For Cueball this happens many times. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 17:35, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
::::The Megan page specifies that she is an everywoman to Cueball's everyman.  If we are to be consistent, then we should have only a brief note here and can add the rest to Megan's page.  I'm going to make an update, if people disagree, revert. [[User:Djbrasier|Djbrasier]] ([[User talk:Djbrasier|talk]]) 00:43, 11 March 2015 (UTC)


Following the conventions set in [[1441: Turnabout]] and [[1436: Orb Hammer]], I have taken the character that is seems is most Megan-like from the character's behavior and appearance and named her Megan and left the other character of similar appearance unnamed. I will be updating the Megan page presently. [[User:Djbrasier|Djbrasier]] ([[User talk:Djbrasier|talk]]) 00:50, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
:Yes that was a mistake that Cueball was mentioned in those to transcripts. When there are two identical Cueballs in one comic, neither of them can be identified as the "real" Cueball. Because there is no specific trait that you can claim makes one of the Cueballs the real one! I have corrected the two transcripts. I will thus also correct the Megan page. However, I do agree with you that it is the second of the two black haired girls in this comic that best represents Megan. First of all in the hair length. But also because the most typical behaviour of Megan, would fit the one commenting on the other artist feeble attempt of redefining art... I had at one point changed it exactly as you did here. So I approve. So it is fine to remove the note. It was mainly to stop people from changing so that the first, short haired, girl was made into Megan... --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 20:04, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Also, I think we should merge [[Cueball]] and [[Rob]], but that's another discussion. [[User:Djbrasier|Djbrasier]] ([[User talk:Djbrasier|talk]]) 00:55, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
:I disagree. This Cueball is specified in those comics to be Rob, and the category Rob is in itself made into an under category of Cueball. So if you look at Cueballs apperances, then comics with Rob is mentioned at the top! --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 20:04, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
