Joe and Joyce…so silly. So far apart.
Kind of interesting how Joyce and Walky are kind of like this in DoA, with them both being sort of immature but Walky having less inhibitions.
“Oooh. Japanese art.” “Eh, we skipped that part.”
This panel really got to me. The sentiment was 100% true of the three or four Art History courses I took in college. Everything we studied was based on painters from Europe, until the late-19th century, when Americans started making fine art. There was VERY LITTLE art from the Far East, which was surprising given how much of an influence Japanese and Chinese art have had on modern American culture.
Taking a theater history class this semester, we’re spending two classes outside of European history–would’ve been one, but the teacher realized he didn’t have enough time to cover Asia and Africa in one session.
We tried to go over the non-western art in my AP class, but it was the year we got two blizzards with three or four feet of snow each, and since there’s usually only a handful of questions on it and an essay, we just got a project to learn a bunch of them, grouped into things the essay would probably be asking about.
The essay was not asking about any of them, and the only reason I had an answer for that one at all was because I saw a painting from India on Wikipedia a few weeks before that did fit the theme (mothers and children, I believe, and it was a painting of Parvati and Ganesh) and remembered just enough detail to bullshit my way through that part of the essay.
We also didn’t have enough time to get through the second half of the 20th century, because of the snow. By the exam it was basically “read this entire chapter in a night, try and absorb all the information, and PRAY it doesn’t come up on an essay.” So of course something there did.

Before Mike, Joe could ruin anything you like.
Except your mother. But Mike can do that for a nickel.
Joe will do it for free
Damned shame about LLTP getting vandalized by that crazy woman =(
They got it cleaned up and back on display without any damage the very next day, though.
Not another case of Ecce Homo.
There’s always some traces left, even if you can’t necessarily see with the naked eye. Plus, it’s a permanent part of its history now.
That funny drunk man is so awesome.
I think he should become a regular character.
Thirded. I mean, I guess he can’t in this set, but maybe he can show up in Shortpacked or something.
I loved the Joe and Joyce stories the best.
It takes one page for Joyce to go from “I’m not leaving ’till I’m done!” to “Give me my book do I can leave!”. Make up your mind, silly woman.
She would, but Joe made her lose it.
Funny drunk man. XD

In my Art History class I’m taking right now, We’re kinda speeding through asia, but most of our time was spent in Greece and Egypt.

Okay, I am not an artist and therefore give up. Who is this Funny Drunk Man?
It’s “Frans Hals – The Jolly Topper”.
He does not look jolly. He looks haunted. Look at the sadness in those eyes.
He’s drinking to escape something. And it’s catching up to him.
