[14:21] Alison Way: though he spelled orangutan wrong
[14:21] Alison Way: point that out in our blog
[14:21] jimmyd: ok
[14:21] Alison Way: of course, i noticed immediately
[14:21] Alison Way: i hate it when people say it with a "g" sound on the end
[14:21] jimmyd: perhaps it's intentional-- the PAPER in the comic got it wrong
[14:22] Alison Way: one of my pet peeves
[14:22] Alison Way: i always correct them
[14:22] jimmyd: a commentary on the LIBERAL PRESS
[14:22] jimmyd: do you correct people when they put a p sound in "hamster" and "chomsky?
[14:22] Alison Way: too soon, jim. too soon.
[14:22] Alison Way: YES I DO

[16:18] jimmyd: "Nature's modern master" it says
[16:18] Alison Way: i know
[16:19] Alison Way: he's like the orangutan "painter of light"
[16:19] Alison Way: what's that guy's name?
[16:19] jimmyd: another funny thing about it is that the thing we see in the first frame, which makes him look so good, is an ad in the paper for the review in the second frame
[16:19] jimmyd: Monet?
[16:20] Alison Way: no--the one who does those twee, cozy cottages in the snow, etc. really tacky
[16:20] jimmyd: Here we come now singing Monet Monet
[16:20] jimmyd: don't know
[16:20] Alison Way: i like how the orang actually posed for the photo and put on this very specific, supposed-to-be-appealing expression

[16:22] Alison Way: so schlocky
[16:22] Alison Way: you'll recognize the crap
[16:23] Alison Way: he even makes, like, lamps and bible and tea cozies, etc.
[16:23] Alison Way: he's a "landscape impressionist"
[16:23] Alison Way: wtf does that mean?
