The Other Woman

Steve Duin's Matt Baker Monday is a great way to start the week, and this one--well, it's pretty @#$! near perfect. The inversion of Rid Riding Hood, the styles (including the woman in the background), the hair color dynamics, and even the setting of the airport provide an exemplary mise-en-scene.

The setting in the airport has a particular relevance for my own work. One of the things we'll be exploring this year is why a change in environment can lead people to abandon otherwise normative ethical commitments--in other words, why folks screw around on trips, at parties, online, when a partner is sick or away, you name it.
