Your premise about all of life is not sup****table.
Art, even cartoon art is in the eye of the beholder. Don't try to dictate
what is and isn't art.
If I use manipulation as a means to interpret my emotion, that is my
expression. It is yours to like or not. If you reject my expression simply
because it is a manipulation, I would think your view is rather narrow.
I you reject it because you don't like it, so be it. but please don't set
an
artificial and unsup****table standard.
Do you think that AA's use of the zone system was not a "manipulation."
