Also. time was that such an artist would have such an Instagram account set up for people to follow, and engage in that way – I’m kinda glad we’ve moved beyond that now.
Gosh, I hope this arc isn’t about Nancy stealing someone else’s art and posting them to her own account. Not only would she ruin her friendship with Lucy and Agnes, but she’ll be just like that one guy here who keeps posting cookbook recipes that aren’t his own in order to derail conversation in lieu of actual criticism.
So the joke here is that Nancy just wants two good artists to follow her on Instagram to improve her influencer profile and one of the twins misinterprets her request as a genuine question about how to get good at making art. Not only is it a great joke, but it betrays another quality of the new Nancy. It seems that the comic may be an expressive vehicle for OJ. This is OJ talking, isn’t it?
I just love the way Lucy and Agnes (or at least Agnes) consider themselves to be on the same level, talent-wise… and that Agnes is taking the lead here as the art expert, when clearly it’s Lucy who should be giving advice.
Art note: Agnes’ arms are reminiscent of Peanuts characters famous wall scenes. And to continue with my recent pet theory, her legs, arms (sorta), and dispensed wisdom call to mind the dharmachakra (teaching) Buddha.

I love the lateral thought process here.

This reminds me of that time when Claude Monet became a MySpace friend of Van Gogh. At least I think that’s how it went…

Grueling effort should count Nancy out.

I believe Martin Friedman said something like “it is art because I say it is art”. If Nancy follows that, she’ll be an artist in no time flat.

So, Nancy feels all she needs is to get the followers. Hmm. Hmm.
