Strange to think that my introduction to Dada was not art class or documentaries, it was a comic book. Thank you, Doom Patrol, for enlightening me in my youth.

Too catty. (And overly dismissive.) I think that sort of defining of in groups and out groups and jockeying for position would be closer to Surrealism anyway.

I get right to the end of that and wasn’t sure if it was going to be an Art movement, Christians, Republicans, Gender Crits, Marvel fans, Star Wars vs Star Trek…
