Sure, you’re baking in the oven. But you’re tasty and sweet. It’s not blazing hot so much as it is warm, like a pie should be. The famous pie artist ThePieous, known for past works, such as the Predator pie and the jack-o’-lantern pie, now feels inspired by our present times.
The famous, memetic image is not from the pandemic, of course. It’s from a January 2013 issue of the webcomic Gunshow. But it feels eternally relevant. Pie is always appropriate. It’s soothing and centering. We feel at ease with pie, even as we feel like the world is also crumbling around us.
