Transcript:
Alice: This is the highlight of my academic year - the project that most fully expresses my concerns. Petey: Some cardboard with a puddle on it? Alice: The process is the most important part of this piece. First, I poured glue and paint all over the cardboard. Then, Buckethead Kevin accidentally sat down on it! I laughed so hard I almost threw up! Petey: Art can be merely the by-product of a happy accident.

Petey’s right. “Rhapsody in Blue,” for instance.

Kevin was the butt of the joke!

I love how Petey has his hands clasped together, elbows resting on the table – it somehow gives the weight of truth to his statement in panel three. And Alice’s hand-to-head gesture and wonderful expression let us relive the amazing moment with her!

Now if she had thrown up on it, that really would have made an artistic statement.

I have an interesting piece of found art – a polaroid SX-70 photo that got jammed and crumpled up in the camera’s mechanism.

the image of some kid sitting on a pile of wet paint & glue cracks me up-hilarious. Even with the cleaning it up its funny

I love this strip! And the day to day calendar on my desk here at work, gives me an added bonus!

Honestly that’s the way most modern art looks: by-products of accidents.

Loving Petey’s hands in the last panel. (He. IS. The ultimate connoisseur of all incidents) …And loving Alice’s maniacal pose and expression in the same, of course. That may just be my favorite shot of them together.

@rayannia – how the heck is ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ a happy accident? Its a beautiful composition by an acomplished musician, artist and composer, not merely a stroke of good luck. sheesh.
