Was Disney Anti-Semantic?

Buenos dias my art buddies! Your Cappy spent the New Year with the family at Disneyland. But his brain never takes a vacation, and I wanted to add some comedy to the “happiest place on earth”.

Something tells me Goofy doesn’t really talk in abstracts. Well, what you see in the pic is what you get, I thought it was a cute joke. I’m also proud of the fact that I freebased the character designs. And upon writing it, I’m sure ‘freebase’ isn’t the appropriate term…but I feel smart for having it in my vocabulary.

Since I’m done with that description, I’ll dump all the random thoughts about the Magic Kingdom here.

It’s been YEARS since I’ve been to a theme park. Luckily I’m the concentrated stereotype of man, in that I have the power to utterly zone out and think of NOTHING when in long lines or trips that feel like the frickin’ Oregon Trail. So thoughts of the long lines for rides weren’t really daunting to me.
HOWEVER.
One thing I totally forgot was…young couples. When you’re single, young couples with their innocence and their doe eyes and their thinking that they will be together FOREVAR makes you honestly consider ripping your own ears off. To top it off, I realized I was stuck in line and had to listen to forty-five minutes of THIS:

“This line is…long.”
“Oh mah gawd you are SO right! This line IS long! You are SOO smart!”
*kiss kiss slobber*

I had to fight the urge to turn around and tell the girl of the duo, “I bet your boyfriend doesn’t even have a job, thinks he’s gonna be a rock star when he “gets that break”, and he’ll leave you for your hotter friend Kate in seven months”.

Despite couples acting like moths that always found me in line, I had a good time. Somebody asked me if I had fun at Disneyland, and I said “I think it’s impossible to have a bad time at Disneyland.” Of course, a Negative Nancy had to chime in the conversation with “Yes you can! It could be hot! That would ruin it!!” Oh come now, you can be irritated for a little while, but it’s DISNEYLAND. You learn about Disney and how they crush individual artists and hold copyright laws by the nads so that they can ‘artistically interpret’ other people’s stories…but man. When you see little kids creating the future nostalgic memories that we remember…your heart does smile. Just a little bit.

Expect some more of this stuff. Isn’t this just like being at Disneyland?!
