The imple­ment­a­tion is still lack­ing a little pol­ish, but it’s a great idea and it already makes for pretty inter­est­ing viewing.

I really not sure what to make of this. It’s Pea­nuts (yeah, you know, with Charlie Brown and Snoopy,) re-​​imagined as a sort-​​of bleak, post­mod­ern com­ment on pur­pose, youth, iden­tity and rela­tion­ships. Or maybe as a par­ody of those things. I’m not sure, but I think it’s art.
