Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling Larry Dodson An American Master Art Billings, Art Professor Art: Dodson arrived in New York, and hopes were high that his effortless genius would transform the art world... Man: Thank you for coming, Mr. Dodson! Larry: I hung my jacket on that chair. That okay? $5,500 But his relationship with art dealers was beginning to sour. Larry: See, it's all consumer stuff. You can sell this, right? Man: Maybe he's being ironic about an ironic use of irony... Woman: I don't think he's being ironic AT ALL! Dodson responded to the setback with more failed attempts, accented by some increasingly unfortunate fashion choices. Larry Dodson his Actual Wedding Album Larry: Look at the hors d'oeuvres table -- cheeseballs! That's the kind of thing you guys like, RIGHT? Larry: Okay, so it's like society has subverted my own biology...HEY! Are you even LISTENING?! Dodson. Laparoscopic viewing of his artificial knee The final straw was his disastrous opening for "Dodson: Dirty Laundry." Larry: Come on, Carol! We're going back to Studdart! RIP It would be his last masterpiece. Man: Failed art. Failed commerce. Brilliant! Woman: Good god! Next: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Dodson can now be seen on QVC selling his line of puppy dog art! Woman: Now THIS would look great over a couch! Lar, did you SIGN these? Larry: Yes! And they're specially commissioned!
