Everybody has their fake smile. I am so in tune with mine that I can physically feel it when I'm giving it, and then I become immediately self conscious. It's the smile I'll give to the hostess at a restaurant. It's like, I want to be polite but I also want to get this social interaction over with as quickly as possible. It's a courtesy we do for each other, yet we can all sniff out a fake smile so it's not really doing anyone any favors.
This drawing takes the idea of a fake smile to a whole new level. By having a dedicated station for fake smiles, it's saying that society demands that you be happy. That's pretty dark. What's even darker is the lack of sanitation station. You think I'm just going to shove that in my mouth without dropping it in some Listerine?
