As I posted yesterday, the GoComics Moderator has deleted all my comments here since 6/5, including the prior one yesterday. The Moderator has informed me that, including URLs in my comments, flags them as spam. So, until the Moderator deletes it, the 6/5 comment will be the last such informational comment by me found here. Perhaps prior ones will remain after the Moderator deletes it. I tried to improve the enjoyment of this strip. Sorry it didn’t work out.
The 1886, roughly jumbo envelope sizeLibrarian Segerstéen in his home is discussed in the Career and Paintings sections of the Johan Krouthén English Wikipedia page.

If you want other than Wikipedia info about the artist, the first Externa linker link in his Swedish (Svenska) Wikipedia page points to a Swedish website devoted to him, and the Introduction to Maria Tsaneva’s Johan Krouthen: 131 Paintings and Drawings online book (id=4SdSCAAAQBAJ at Google Books) has English info.

Paintings are more expensive than wallpaper and easier to change – what’s there not to like for people who have too much money?
