      Should Adolph Hitler be considered the “Father” of the “Mail-Art Movement”? Hitler is estimated to have painted thousands of post cards, and small art works suitable for mailing.

      You lost an art post with links of interest—should I re-post it?

      The funniest cartoon I ever saw was of two pigs looking at a turd on the ground. One pig says to the other: “It’s shit, all right, but not enough to make me happy.”
