Udo Keppler for Puck Magazine, 1908.... ...the more things remain the same.

illustration of a massive pair of arms, the left cuff labeled "protected interests" and the right cuff labeled "the republican party" pours a bottle of champagne labeled "tariff revision" from the one hand into a glass in the other, carelessly spilling champagne over the rim. meanwhile, a smaller set of hands holds an empty champagne glass awaiting a pour but being ignored. the bottom of the illustration has the text of a vintage cheer, "here's how!"

I've been listening to the History of Africa podcast and I'm on the history of Madagascar right now. Wow talk about a wild history. It's a mixture of African people from East Africa and Austronesian people from Indonesia. Thousands of years before Europeans ever set foot on the Island.

A hell of a flex. “At 17, I was going to parties with Andy Warhol at some rich person’s house and hobnobbing with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. I didn’t even have time for my senior year of high school, because I was exhibiting and traveling the world..” news.artnet.com/art-world/la...
