Am I just ignorant for not knowing what a vernissage is? After seeing it in three comics straight with no one else commenting about it I am starting to wonder.

Obviously you did not listen to enough bad 80's Russian pop while growing up.

It's to an art exhibition what a premiere is to a movie. So it's an opportunity to socialize and network with the other people invited by the artist, their sponsors, and the art gallery.

More like a party either just before the opening of an exhibition or on the occasion of the opening. Most art exhibitions do not provide champagne and finger foods to regular visitors.

A mallard's head looks green or black depending on the angle.

I imagine Tinsley stumbled across a farmer's market in the wee hours of the morning after closing time at his favorite bar (the one that's open the latest). Being treated as one might treat a lovely drunk, Tinsley vowed revenge in his petty brand of vengeance.

I hate to appear to be defending Drunky Duck, but there is a kernel of truth to his rantings about farmer's markets.

Over the last 8 years or so, the demand for farmers markets has vastly outstripped the supply in some places. In particular, wealthy areas without a lot of actual farms all want their own markets, and there has been a bit of a gold rush to meet the demand. This has lead to a ton of people just buying stuff at Restaurant Depot, and then turning around and pretending that they grew it locally. They usually peel all the stickers off, and recrate the food, and that's it.

This investigative piece found some particularly galling examples. Some of the so-called "farmers" don't even own any farmland.

"Buy Local"
Around here, you have to put on your sign if you are a farm or a reseller, and you can usually tell by how thick their french accent is. I wonder if the best way to ensure local stuff is joining a CSA.

Sadly, CSAs have some of the same issues.

This is particularly galling when you remember that the UK government and taxpayer could save a large amount of money by just letting them go to the US like they want, so the 'death panel' has no plausible motivations beyond the interests of the baby.

It's like that one Lester did during the W era, with the fat woman on a treadmill labeled "national security," exclaiming, "I just don't know why I can't seem to lose weight?!" All while gorging on a cake labeled "civil liberties." We're supposed to think the good thing is actually bad/detrimental.
