Catharsis.

- and the cover drawing for the very same
collection of cartoons by Oliver Ottitsch

That ultimate one. The question of how humor occurs has been explained through history as a play with interference, inversion, repetition, the unexpected, confusion, parallelism, incongruence or contrasting.

In other words the meeting of two elements, independent of each other; two types of activities for instance, which are contrasted and from which emerges a third element, the reaction from seeing the contrast of the two.

Oliver Ottitsch calls that reaction a catharsis.

Catharsis is the yellow pus that springs from a wound, when it bursts, in his words.

His cartoons stays at that very moment of the yellow pus bursting forward while innocence is at once still intact and already hurt. There is no catharsic cleansing in his drawn universe. That version was undressed by Adorno as a piece of Kunstmythologie, a mythology of art. Rather, liberation is to be found in the disruption of the hegemony when that, which social mores forbid to be even wondered at and not at all uttered, has just happened.

Oliver Ottitsch incorporates a physical delay leading the eye of the beholder across the picture plane of which the winding queue is of course the most classic of all and all the sadder in that the continuation of the animal species are to be used for economical gain of the one person, who was given the responsibility of 

- well, everything...
