@Dogsniff: I always figured you were, and I think you hit the nail on the head.Strange thing how these avatars work, I know you don’t look like the zappa cover, but in my mind you do.
About the painting, and details about the artist not mentioned at Wikipedia, as far as I know.Even with this even more enlarged image (thanks @Baslim the begger), available from here, or the enlargement available from here (last of View All Sizes), I still can’t see what’s written on the mantlepiece tablet.So far, 8 works by this artist have appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog (and no, in case you were wondering, this didn’t appear on April 1 there).
I lost internet before I was able to look thru my comics today and just now looked at this artist. There is one of his which I have in my collection (Effects of Intemperence) which I saved because it shows a typical parrot perch for the middle ages.

Revenge on lousy tippers or just April Fools Day mirth?

This artist liked to satirize various types of folks at their eating habits.
