Tweet mentioning a challenge coin handed out by Kash with an image of said coin. Coin is shaped like Punisher skull logo but the teeth are revolvers, eyes are spiders, and other tacky representations.

Frogs also appear in "Split Nude With Frogs" (1996) [along with part of a Reclining Buddha (1996)?]

Colby Chamberlain has apparently written about a portrait of Maciunas by Paik which includes a frog. Although I haven't found the publication.

"For the Fluxus artists, the frog was extremely symbolic, so much so that the self-proclaimed Fluxus Chairman George Maciunas (1931-1978) wanted to be reborn as a frog."

www.sba.gov also has language blaming Democrats.

Same language is used in an automated reply that "put the blame on Senate Democrats for their absence."

far side cartoon… one chimpanzee says to the other:

"Well, well - another blond hair....
Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"

This is lifted from the book "The Pre-History of The Far Side." by Gary Larson. The directors of The Jane Goodall Foundation sent him a cease and desist letter claiming this cartoon was an insult to Jane Goodall.
Jane Goodall, however, put a stop to that and said the cartoon made her laugh. It was reprinted and used to raise money for her foundation, and she and Larson became friends.

Does y'all's have writing in the edges of the canvas? And if so did the museum set it with fixative?

"One institution that is making a serious stab at this problem is the Met. They’ve changed the way they acquire digital prints...I believe they even acquire two copies of the print when they decide to select itβ€”one for immediate use and exhibition and one for deep storage." (2012)

"I say this because I experienced a brief moment of shock in 2012: it was in that year that I began talks with Roxana Marcoci regarding an acquisition of my work for MoMA in New York. She told me that their collection of contemporary photography requires two identical copies of any print." Tillmans

Varies per medium.

"the practice of substituting paintings by copies enabled princes and dukes to withdraw paintings...to add them to their own collections...Michiel Coxcie’s copy (1548) of Rogier van der Weyden’s Deposition of Christ (before 1443) is the earliest example of this practice"
