- Liza of Lamboobs!
- Vincent Van Gogh positions himself for optimal boob viewing. "Sunflowers, Shmunflowers. I'm painting these!"
- Vincent Van Gogh, Incompetent Vampire!
- I remember these swirly popsicle thingies that mom used to buy. I associate them with that one time I was so sick (1981) that I couldn't keep much down. Anyway, popsicle color + memory of barfing = where the background of this painting takes my brain.
- Shakespeare-Head!
- We've seen all this before.

"I never 'ad any money from anyone."This whole scene is like a Cockney Jerry Springer episode.
"Don't talk ter me; I know yer did. Yer dirty bitch. You oughter be ashimed of yerself tikin' a married man from 'is family, an' 'im old enough ter be yer father."

First Hammett, then Maugham. Rex, you must be going through the "literary" part of your collection. Excellent reading, no doubt, but not quite the cover art of RESTLESS WOMEN, et. al.
I sense the bottom has been reached?

You always can tell when someone's faking a cockney accent. They frequently revert to the Queen's English at the beginning a sentence.
