Zeke: Still looks like trash to me... maybe I should go back to school... What you working on, man? JJ: Instructions for my last performance art piece. Zeke: How do you know it's your last? JJ: Because the piece is my death. I"m going to die live. I was born live on cable, I was married live online, and I'm going to die live on periscope. I'll set up a hospice-cam and after I go, the video will be posted you YouTube, where fans can like it for years to come! By dying live, I can live forever! Zeke: Okay, I don't get it, but it sounds badass. JJ: It is. I'm calling it "Death, Be Less Proud."
And, just for the record, those of us who have watched important folks in our lives fade away in hospice are not inclined to think of this as ‘performance art’.
The more I look at this ’toon,in fact, the more it disgusts me.
