Sorry, more can cartoons

Soup

Hopefully Andy Warhol is not rolling over in his grave over this one.

Here are some not so well known facts about this amazing artist:

  • His very first movie was aptly named ‘Sleep’. It filmed his friend sleeping for a whopping 6 hours.  Nine people attended the opening night and within the first hour two left… and then there where seven (who amazingly stayed right up to the end).
  • Andy nearly died when he was shot in the chest by Valerie Solanis. Valerie was a founder of club called SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) and as a staunch feminist saw it her duty to rid the world of people like Andy, who she considered to be abusive and controlling.  As a side point, it is relieving to note that she was the only member of the club.
  • The high school art club excluded Andy from becoming a member, as he was considered better than the other members.

  • You don’t realize how these soup cartoons are making me hungry. It’s 38 and raining here (I haven’t see the sun at all today). I could REALLY go for some soup.
    P.S. Funny how the club’s name was SCUM because the only person that was in it was scum.

      Mmm, love a soup in the cold. I have a soft spot for tomato soup with fresh cream and garnished with basil.

    Watching a movie of people sleeping. Sounds like the perfect insomnia therapy…
