In The Amazing Spider-Man #125 (Oct. 1973), Marvel Comics editor Roy Thomas wrote in the letters column that “it saddens us to have to say that the whiplash effect she underwent when Spidey’s webbing stopped her so suddenly was, in fact, what killed her. In short, it was impossible for Peter to save her. He couldn’t have swung down in time; the action he did take resulted in her death; if he had done nothing, she still would certainly have perished. There was no way out.” Source
The comic (#121) is ambiguous though. There is really no way for the reader to know whether she was dead before her neck was snapped, Green Goblin certainly seems to think so (but he is hardly a reliable source). But snapping her neck certainly would have killed her anyway.
"Forma y orden" by Juan Rodríguez García takes a refreshing new approach to the exploration of order and chaos that seems to be an ubiquitous theme of #GenerativeArt.
The stylized images resemble a match between Andy Warhol's art and IKEA assembly instructions and make us translate abstract concepts into everyday life. Don't some of the outputs remind you of people waiting in your doctor's office or at the district office?

Exhibit #121 of 126 of my great big graphics project is now online.
I'm too pooped to write out the whole spiel but suffice to say this was once near impossible to access for most (like earlier today) and now it's online, accessible and indexed for the very first time ever.
For free.
This one will be interesting for anyone in local media. :)
Included in this exhibit is a section on something did not get covered much.
it's going to be 52 images, so half the size of today's completed #120, with two garden variety fwippees as the expurgated content this time rather than 52 fwippees requiring 48 stand alone alternate versions as made my past three weeks generally unpleasant.
I should crank through this one in a straight forward way from what I skimmed. View may be different on the ground as details reveal themselves.
Uhmm. Are you aware that Israel is #4 on the World Happiness Index this year? It’s the happiest non-scandinavic country in the world. You don’t get there by being “enemy of the people”.
