This.
It’s weirdly synchronous with on-going discussion I’m having with an artist friend about how well-executed art has become optional in a lot of critically-acclaimed indie comics, and how artists sometimes aren’t even credited with the same aplomb as the writer in certain graphic novels.
They’re called Lumbersexuals.
Hipster since about 2nd grade.
edit: (quick mining of friend’s facebook posts) since 4th grade for sure
Archie? Too mainstream. Cat and Girl is the REAL undergound comic…
BTW, we should all join the future corpse of America…
[ETA] Okay… sorry. Last ones:
I just can’t love this comic enough. Also, her donation derby has been cracking me up, especially since she made a baby:
How many hipsters does it take to change a lightbulb?
! It’s an obscure number; you’ve probably never heard of it.
Thanks! They’ve aged well, especially since they’re (sadly) still relevant. I guess we still have hipsters to kick around!
Toothpaste for Dinner (2011 – but still relevant!)
That’s nothing… I actually read an article in some journal from like the 1940s about hipsters… Apparently, it’s a problem of modernity, not just of the now…
Well, except for the black jeans (they were blue), that’s what I wore often in the late 70’s, so…
Righto. Non-conformists have long conformed by being non-conformists!
Do they even know what a hipster is? Because it sure don’t seem that way.
EDIT: also, on the left cover: is Jughead eating something from Popeyes Fried Chicken?
I think at this point that hipster is an empty signifier, meaning whatever someone wants it to me…
As for Jughead… I wouldn’t be surprised. That’s apparently what teenage boys do… eat food endlessly. Apparently I’m saving a bundle on groceries by having a teenaged girl instead.
An important note: Judy Funnie was a Beetnik, not a Beatnik.
So you’re saying you know what they are because you’re one yourself?
Do tell, please!
No, that is not what I am saying. I am saying that it doesn’t seem like they know what a hipster is. Must one be a hipster to know what a hipster is, or rather, must one be a hipster to know when other people don’t know what a hipster is?
Regardless, Riverdale exists in a bizarro America, so I guess Archie very well could be a hipster, just nothing like what we’re familiar with.

Pffft
I screwed in the light bulb before it was cool.
Burned my fingers the bastard.
Everyone’s a hipster!
No one’s a hipster!
Excuse me sir, you seem to have misspelled “expensive as the dickens”
