Kliban by B. Kliban for June 23, 2021

… … bit dark … …

The mobile will be out of balance if they cut him down. So he is going to have to hang around for a while.

What thing is unlike the others?

He couldn’t figure out the IKEA instructions!!!

Bob Ross, alternate universe version.

One word: Morose

Taking ‘suffering for your art’ to a whole new level.

And now that the artist is dead, the price of his work will increase enormously.

I remember seeing this on some late night tv thing as a teen when it came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-PZ4Qy5F0Q

But is it art?

This artist had some serious hangups.

Immobile

How awful!

Such whimsy!

Art in its finale

Oh, Kliban! What have you gone and done now?

I see big problems when the Museum of Modern Art tries to exhibit this work.

Well, you have tp balance it out somehow….
