So, as many of you have been commenting to me, knowing my interest in art, a few of Edvard Munch's paintings, including The Scream and his Madonna, were stolen this week from the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway.

I suggest that until the paintings are tracked down and the thieves brought to justice, the Munch Museum should take the opportunity to display a fine parody-pastiche of The Scream, known as The Whine and executed by famed "The Far Side" cartoonist Gary Larson for his collection Wiener Dog Art. ;D
The other works by Larson in this series (and what they parody):
