Frivolous/flippant ways of dealing with serious subject matter give you a kind of "two emotions at once" feeling. This isn't necessarily that deep, but if you do it with simpler issues, teenage/personal issues, and then take that "opposites at the same time" feeling into other places like - it sucks to work, I like enjoying myself, I don't want to say that I am better than anyone one but if I don't have to, I'd rather that someone else made my socks while I do this. My friend's dad, growing up, talked about how he thought that developing empathy for fish could eventually lead to healing the ails of a relationship. I still don't know about that, but I am applying the echo-theory to the state of commercial art and why it is pretty valuable.
