Frank and Ernest by Thaves for April 11, 2021

Show me the Monet.

Can’t make the Van Gogh without the Monet

and they both made light work of it…

I need at least ein stein before I can focus on a Monet painting.

Monet was no genius – he was myopic.

Nice strip! A little bit of genius in its own way.

Makes me think of Frank Stella and some of his works. . .

Very good today. A comparison of apparently diverse interests that lead two men into careers that have made their names familiar to millions.

Very well said

Heavy topic today.

That’s the second time I’ve heard the word “duality”, the first time was in the movie Full Metal Jacket

“Monet and Manet

They were strolling down the Élysées

Picking out pastels and other kinds of paint

Eddie said to Claude I’ve found some rouge that’s really odd

And this indigo from Cairo but I bet you ain’t …”

“A wave and a particle were walking side by side.

One said to the other, ‘Which one of us am I?’

‘Which one, of us am I?’”

The first is from “Impressionist Two Step” by Pop Warner and Jack Hansen. The second is from “Einstein The Genius” by Henry Jankiewicz

Did they reveal Monet’s tricks of the shade?

Today’s trivia: “light” is one of the most versatile words in the English language, with over a hundred meanings within its usages as a noun, adjective, adverb, transitive verb, intransitive verb, and interjection (not as a conjunction, tho).

Light on humor, but heavy on awesomeness.

Mr. Thaves, this might be your best comic strip yet.
