Hans Rottenhammer

Hans Rottenhammer: enigma, scalawag, simpering art poodle.  What can we say about this consummate painter?  His familiarity with the Bambociatti and command of both the Italinate and Germanic styles won him the title "Tom Selleck of the German Renaissance."  A mysterious figure, Rottenhammer is believed to abandoned art in 1613 to run a discotheque in Majorca.  He is best remembered for his painting, "I've Got a Bright Idea, Let's Follow the Creepy Flying Chubby Baby."  He is also credited with inventing the Speedo.

"I've Got a Bright Idea, Let's Follow the Creepy Flying Chubby Baby."

And a good idea that plan may be. Chubby Baby would make an excellent fruit picker if nothing else.

Yea, but he looks like he'd eat more than he puts in the basket. And they say pigs can't fly.

And then be blowing fruit turds everywhere.

oh man you've outdone yourself. "blowing fruit turds everywhere" is what we call a keeper!

"Let's Follow the Creepy Flying Chubby Baby."

oh, I'll be laughing for days over that one.
Pure gold.
