EAR We Go Again


As if poor old Vincent doesn't have ENOUGH troubles,
eco-activists recently threw tomato soup
on his famous painting of sunflowers.
Luckily it was under glass, so no harm done.








We'll leave the final word
to the actor who played
Dr. Spencer Reid in the
TV show Criminal Minds --

I understand the VAN-dalism is under an on-GOGH-ing investigation.

Marie Smith said...

You always give me a chuckle, Debra. Thank you.

Travel said...

The genius of the tortured mind

Bob said...

I'd go to prom if someone gave me that kind of invite!!

Boud said...

You're Goghing all out here. I love the sunflower painting thrown at the Campbell's soip!

Lady M said...

Very fine work here friend - you brought a smile to my face.

Jennifer said...

I love the glasses advertisement and the prom-posal! Hahaha!

Janie Junebug said...

I'm rather relieved that no one ever gave me a bloody fake ear. I love the van stop and go.

Love,
Janie

Hahaha
Love these! I went to a Van Gogh exhibit at the Art Institute here in Chi and it was FABULOUS. Only drawback? Half of the Midwest decided to go too, and I had to go in the middle of the week to avoid the crowds.
BTW, Matthew Gray Gubler could send me anything in a Tiffany jewelry box.

XOXO

I need those glasses!

I read some place that Vincent Mother thought he had no talent as an artist.
Coffee is on and stay safe

baili said...

Thanks for hilarious funnies enjoyed all . Many many more smiles to you my friend

DVArtist said...

A really cute post. I enjoyed it very much. Sorry to say the destruction of art in museums is starting to take off with this younger, (stupid uneducated) generation. It is sad to me. Just one more thing. I hope you have a great day.

Mike said...

I'm the brother's cousin who drinks too much --- gotta go also

Leanna said...

This is Goghing a bit too far. But the family names was a good one.

roentare said...

All these puns are so fun! I am a little interested to read about Van Gough again

Magaly Guerrero said...

The Batman one is hysterically delicious. Most share.

Also, thank you for mentioning Reid, a new season of Criminal Minds started yesterday and I nearly forgot. Let the binging begin!

angela said...

Thank goodness I don’t have to cut off an ear to paint.
Although it just might help lol
I do not agree that vandalism is a good way to prove your point
It is an excellent way to turn people off your point of view
So very counterproductive I think

Joanne Noragon said...

van clutch, van stop, van groan.

Richard said...

Way-To-Gogh! Funny. Thanks.

River said...

I love Dr Spencer Reid (aka MGG), and Penny Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) too. I have the dvds, complete collection. One of my favourite shows.

Kirk said...

Van Gogh finally gets his due. He was totally unknown when he was alive. Even the internet hadn't heard of him.

LL Cool Joe said...

There's a few things I'd love to throw tomato soup at. And that's about as far as my rebellious nature goes.

Adam said...

That definitely would explain the missing ear

Bill Lisleman said...

I'm stealing the family tree. I promise to protect it from any objects thrown at it.

Barbara said...

I really, really could not believe these idiots throwing stuff at our great old paintings. I mean really. I love the glasses and van gough - that was my life before cataract surgery. I also think the one-eared bat cap was a hoot.

Liz Hinds said...

That glasses ad is clever. Love the family tree although it doesn't really work in Britain as we say Van Gogh - gough?

Ur-spo said...

Van Gogh is one of those poor sods who did one stupid thing in life and it's what's he remembered for.

Martha said...

The last one! HAHAHAHAHA

Miss Val's Creations said...

The family tree is brilliant!

The Happy Whisk said...

Loved the Star Trek.

The Captain said...

Doesn't work in UK English since we pronounce GOGH as GOF and not GO. 🤣🤣🤣

yellowdoggranny said...

I'm not even going to try to do a pun...your other readers have beat me to all the good ones.

DB Stewart said...

Omg, I once owned a Taurus: such a lost opportunity, lol!

Fundy Blue said...

I loved all of these, Debra!

Rommy said...

The one with the person throwing Sunflowers over the soup amused me
