    This subject is a pleasure for the eyes… Thank you, foxley.

    The highlighting of the Lichtenstein hypocrisy followed by the self-referential meta commentary in the last panel? Bill Watterson is a genius. This is High Art.

    Nice! You know, its such a great place it would be worth a line.

    Catlady in training, which manages to be a homage that comments on the original work!

    But I'm bummed that Riv86672's Galactus isn't an entry. Iron Maiden's entry was also good, with a tenderness seldom seen in superhero comics.

    I vote Stony for finding one paying homage to my favorite artist. Runners up this week for me are Iron Maiden and Lord Mikel.

    Nschornhorst. Because Donald “Van Gogh” Duck is irresistible…
