Kliban by B. Kliban for April 28, 2023

Done just at the end of the party.

Oh. One of THOSE days.

After staring at this for a couple of minutes, I convinced myself that it was beginning to make sense. But then, I always was good at self deception.

Cat, his first book, was published in ’75 (Wikipedia)

Titled, “Cat…After Ball of String”.

As minor gods creating their own realities, each artist starts with his mental chaotic thoughts and forms objects out of them. I see at least four promising possibilities for extracting Klibanesque characters from within these seeming random scribbles.

It was a windy day, March 6th of 1975…

LSD or some really wacky tobaccy.

A copy of a Pollack, gone wrong!

I think it should be called “Ball of string after cat”

March 6, 1975 (Thursday), Iran and Iraq announced a settlement in their border dispute at a meeting of the OPEC nations in Algiers

So much for the experiment of the artist holding the pen steady…

…and a gaggle of tots fighting over which way to move the paper.

Surprised this made it past the censors.. pretty sure I can see some super explicit xxx rated content in there.

The new research microscope visually proves string theory.

Cat doodles?

How Picasso used to doodle!

Etch-a sketch

That’s pretty-much how I felt that day too…
