Tuesday, July 21, 1998: Abstract art

[NonsenseWords]

It represents the entropy of the human soul. It always represents entropy of the human soul.

[Tom_Radigan]

This is a very good one. And the problem with a lot of modern art is that it looks like something a five-year-old can do.

[Maggot Brain]

I didn't know how to design a power supply, so I put a nail in a piece of wood.

[Happy Rutabegas year]

looks kind of familiar...

[Muninn]

Now this is a lot more Calvin and Hobbes-esque than some strips people have tried so hard to find evidence of plagiarism for. Calvin would usually make something nonsensical or simple and use elaborate art jargon to justify how ground-breaking it was.

Incidentally, I was just re-reading this one C&H story arc where Calvin turns a melting snowman into a modern-art masterpiece, thus beginning his career of abstract snow-art.

[Bocaj Claw]

I think the difference is that Calvin was using high-falutin' art terms to justify making some really weird crap that would get any other kid sent to therapy and Millie is a girl.
