I told you Friday about Image Duplicator, an upcoming gallery show in which comic book artists are going back to the sources Roy Lichtenstein used without credit in his paintings and doing new pieces based on the primary images in order to comment on the controversy surrounding the lack of attribution.

I spotted another artistic response today that tickled me.

First, take a look at Roy Lichtenstein’s “I Can See the Whole Room … and There’s Nobody in It!”

ICanSeetheWholeRoomandThere'sNobodyInIt

That painting, based on a panel by William Overgard from a Steve Roper newspaper strip, sold for $43.2 million November 2011. $43.2 million!

Here’s Overgard’s original image.

And here’s how artist Carl Flint riffed on that image to take Roy Lichtenstein to school.

Another winner!
