great works ii – 2850 jta 12:25-2:05: love letters from the world

I think that the idea of desperation is a bit too much, especially when connected to both cartoons.  In the Acrostic I think that the characters just want to be in a better place, not something uncommon to wish for, but their focus on their unhappiness and problems makes their problems seem much worse than they are. They are so occupied with daydreaming of a better place that they neglect their actual lives. The wish of going somewhere better only seems to have them trapped in the present, where their wishful thinking is the only thing they have to enjoy.
