Welcome back to Munch's The Scream

One of the most reproduced paintings, like Mona Lisa, I wonder if anyone has done a bastardization of the Mona Lisa in the form of the Scream?

Two years and change sounds like just about the right amount of time to commission a quality forgery, properly age it, and put together the PR campaign for its recovery.

For all that 99.9999% of the people who look at it would care (if they weren't told) they could just hang a print from the museum gift shop and keep the valuable original in a safe.

I had no clue that the picture off my kids art supply box had been stolen...I wonder when I'll get it back?

just kidding...well about getting it back, not about "the scream" being the artwork on their art supply box

I just can't believe it took two years to recover it. You'd think that something so...unique...would be easy to spot!

I'm just impressed that our rabbit was able to paint ANYTHING, let alone a stolen masterpiece.

How come there's no video of Munchykins painting? Are you going to have to bunny proof the new digs?

We will hopefully move in with it in bunny-proof condition. It'll be nice to be able to start from scratch instead of trying to protect a decidedly non bunny-proof existing setup.

He will be caged, unfortunately for him. We've already had to start caging him now when we're asleep/out because he has thwarted all attempts to keep him on the approved side of the apartment. We built a nice big cage, but he's not particularly pleased with the new arrangement. But it's his own fault.

Well, he will adapt, spoiled rotten bunny, I think!

Can't wait to meet him sometime not to mention to see you two and say howdy
