When Ed Mell, Henry Matisse, Marcel Duchamp Collide, Its The Contradictions, Ese!

 July 5, 2026

   Sometimes I ask myself, What would Ed Mell do?

Daily Whip Out: "Mexican Rocketship" 

Other times, I ask myself, what would Henry Matisse do?

Daily Whip Out: "First Impression"

   Occasionally, I ask myself, what would Will James do?

Daily Whip Out: "Fence Climbing Bucker"

   And, it must be said, I rarely ask myself, what would Marcel Duchamp do, because, well, you know, that would be just too hip for the room.

Daily Whip Out:

"Nude Descending From Bronc Ride"

  Like everything else, jokes grow old (see, above). What once got a laugh is now cringe worthy. I got a request from an old fan to make an art print out of a New Times Weekly cartoon spread I did way back in the early eighties.

   In my defense I was going for a cutting edge SNL (Saturday Night Live) humor style, cut with a National Lampoon style illustration (you know, mocking serious Old School illustration), but it just looks ancient to me now. Dated, really. And not in a good way. Ouch.

Jokes for The Impending Apocalypse

   Here we are at the Apocalypse and all I got was this lousy tampon from a gender neutral bathroom.

"Contradiction is the whole point."

—Marcel Duchamp
