I'd been wrestling with thoughts about how art is an act of communication in which the audience participates, but in which the artist has responsibilities as well. If the audience largely doesn't understand the work, the artist has to consider the fault may lie with themselves. But at the same time the audience has to try to approach the work at least somewhat on the artist's terms.

Then I came across this from Cul-De-Sac, a generally bad newspaper comic, which sums up a lot of what I had been thinking and makes me wonder how bad I am myself.
