I love this comic by Grant Snider. He's selling it as a poster, and has lots of other insightful and funny posters on his website, Thought Balloon Helium. (Via This isn't Happiness)

    The best thing about this, for me, is that living in NYC, seeing a train coming out of a hole in the ground isn’t surreal at all.  Symbolic, sure, but not the least weird.  That is where the trains live, underground!

      Being from Chicago, the thought of trains underground fills me with terror.  Trains live on elevated platforms 2 or 3 floors high!

        Has that led to any spectacular-looking accidents (Gare Montparnasse 1895 – style)?

    I was an idealist first, a surrealist second, and am now a realist. I’m trying to get back that whimsy; being a surrealist was a lot more fun (and weird, but that was half the fun).

    I decided to drop the labels and just be an Ist.

    Nice touch representing surrealism via Giorgio De Chirico, as opposed to melting clocks, for once.
