11. Picasso
But it's the piece that I love, not the artist. To me, this sculpture is symbolic of the artistic process. Who else but an artist can look at a rusty old bicycle seat and handlebars and see a Bull's Head?

As for Vonnegut's drawing of an asshole, a few black lines have never said so much.

6. My first thought was that he has been instantly reincarnated in the inverse universe--
the one that is not just the opposite of this one, but is a sort of Mobius strip of the inside out of this one. Everything wrong with this one glides toward perfection, so that you get to enjoy the in and out of it. Things going wrong, then gliding toward justice and peace. A ski run of the soul. And he's just a baby there, with a million loving parents among the Old Ones, who will see that he has a good time.

Bye, Kurt! Hope to join you one day, on the inside of the out.

10. The great Vonnegut wearing a BartCop sticker:


Like I said before, Vonnegut was one of us. Still is, by my reckoning. Pave the way Kurt. Rub Sweet Sirius on the belly for me.

12. Mr. Vonnegut pegged the little turd from Crawford.
The illustration was originally published in Breakfast of Champions, if memory serves.
