Dove with Green Peas

Spanish Cubism

Yesterday, this painting along with five others were stolen from the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. All the paintings are believed to be worth around 123 million dollars.

Art trafficking is the third largest area in organized crime syndicate behind drugs and weapons. Paintings are either sold to shady collectors or ransomed for money almost like a hostage would be.

    Yeah, I kinda half-assed this. Usually I make my comics weeks in advance, but since this was a recent event, I wanted to put it up as soon as possible. At some point, I may alter it with a better image. Still, glad you like it.

    Haha, I like disaffection's comment. Captain Obvious scores again! Anyways,I think this strip would benefit if you found a higher resoltion picture of a milk jug. Still, nice work.

    The irony in this page is in the abstract style of the stolen piece. Excellent.
