Oh weird, I had this Amazing Spiderman colouring book as a kid where thieves were stealing stuff from the modern art museum.

Oh boo hoo, well I'll make you some finger paintings for you to hang up instead. That way you'll still have your little decorations.

And nothing of value was lost.

I could go on a philosophical tangent about how artists think all at is transcendental and how it's not supposed to last forever, but I'll just say I really don't care there's one less smeary picasso scribble in the world.

Triangle man beats Particle man and Person man. It is unknown who will win versus Garbage man or Spider man.

It does help raise the value of other pieces by those artists.

Wow all artist believe the same thing. Thanks, I didn't know that. And Picasso did only "scribbles" I didn't know that either. Your knowledge seems very extraordinary about the subject of art and probably about many other things.

Apparently you have had no contact with the fashion industry.

Triangle man beats Particle man and Person man. It is unknown who will win versus Garbage man or Spider man.

But Person Man lives his life in a garbage can. So, he could have saved the paintings, but chose not to, possibly because he was hit on the head with a frying pan.

well,
some people try to pick up girls
and get called an asshole
this never happened to pablo picasso
he could walk down your street
and girls could not resist to stare
and so pablo picasso was never called an asshole
