My Lovely Horse posted:hahaha yes the emotional life of Vincent van Gogh, what a nice beginner's writing exercise I know, right? "Hey university freshman, try to place yourself in the head of this clinically depressed tortured genius and picture what life is like for him", says the cartoonist who has no idea what university is like. As an aside, I loved the Doctor Who episode "Vincent and the Doctor", where Doctor Who and his assistant go back in time to help Van Gogh deal with some stuff and think they've given him hope by showing that he will be loved and appreciated by later generations, only to discover that nothing really changed and he died just like he originally had, because you can't cure clinical depression by snapping your fingers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubTJI_UphPk It's a beautiful and touching episode.

I will legitimately think it's the funniest thing if the end of this whole interminable Phantom arc is that it took so long in comic time that Savarna was executed and it can't come true
