Beauty is in the paw of the beholder
Those of you who mock my comic art collection may take comfort in this:
Someone spent nearly $600,000 on two century-old paintings of dogs playing poker.
All right, I'll confess (not to buying the paintings, which, had you seen my bank statement, you'd know was impossible): I actually like C.M. Coolidge's "Dogs Playing Poker" series. There's just something oddly whimsical in them that tickles my funny bone. I wouldn't spend $600K to take them home with me, mind you, but I'd hang a print in my office if I had a crack in the wall that was too big to spackle.
On the other hand, a long-hidden cache of original Fiction House comic covers by Matt Baker would be another story...
