Kelly lyrics.\u00c2\u00a0 The trouble is that the images seem to have  little or no connection to the lyrics.\u00c2\u00a0 Don&#8217;t get me wrong, the man can  draw and some of the images by themselves are  powerful\/funny\/impressive.\u00c2\u00a0 But the two things never seem to line up,  and it&#8217;s hard to wonder why this exists in the first place.\u00c2\u00a0 If he was  looking to shine a light on the sheer ridiculousness of some of R.  Kelly&#8217;s lyrics, well, kudos, although how these lyrics are any dumber  than any of the other utterly interchangeable R &amp; B singers is  beyond me.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe it&#8217;s all a bizarre meta experiment in making reviewers  look stupid?\u00c2\u00a0 Hey, I don&#8217;t need any help.\u00c2\u00a0 At the end of the day it&#8217;s  nice to have at least some small clue of why a comic exists, and this  one just baffles me.\u00c2\u00a0 Check out his work with Chris Anderson, as it&#8217;s  brilliant, but this one is easily skipped.\u00c2\u00a0 Unless you can spot  something in that sample that I&#8217;m missing&#8230;\u00c2\u00a0 $3 (?)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/inthenameoflove2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"inthenameoflove2\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/inthenameoflove2.jpg\" alt=\"inthenameoflove2\" width=\"429\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail In the Name of Love (R.
