- Larisa: If I were the leader of a gang of thieves, I’d steal as many Rothkos as possible.
- Sandra: You like this… this… thing?!
- Larisa: By Toutatis, no!!
- Larisa: BWAHAHAHA!
- Thief: Shouldn’t we, just maybe, ask for ransom instead…?

Someone’s been reading too many Asterix comics.
Thief: Shouldn’t we, just maybe, ask for ransom instead…?
Larisa: What profit is there in this curse?!?
More of super-villain Larisa, please.
Film the burning then proclaim the film as art – after all, if “Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid” (yes, the film Does Exactly What It Says On The Tin) counts as art… 🙂
To be honest it just saddens me when famous or valuable artwork is destroyed.
My liking this comic went up 50 points because of the asterix reference
Now, if Larisa could do that to Tracy Emin’s bed… No, I mean the one she’s asleep in. >:=)=)>
As an art student, I’m a little sick of Larisa messing up art. Can we go to a part of the museum that she doesn’t hate now, please?
It’s just her first steps to world domination!
LOL!! I like Larisa like this.
You know, with her penchant for fire, Larisa would really get along well with Inferno from Beast Wars.
Shame he’s a fire ant/robot and (fairly) dead at this point.

Great, now I have Larisa themed Beast Wars fan art running around in my head.
This will not end well.
Super-villain Larisa needs to do battle with Hit-Boy.
@ Blitz:
I’m sure Larisa would enjoy that, but considering the kind of ‘battle’ she might have in mind Hit-Boy’s girlfriend Racoon Wooman might take offense 😛
Hooray!
Asterix reference!
Best…….title……ever!!!!
…burning ART?! MAY THE SKY FALL ON HER HEAD! 😛
Okay, it’s bad art, but still. They never burned Cacofonix!
She’d better be careful not to get caught. After all, she only has one Asterix.
this is why i like larissa, she always says what we’re all thinking.
I envy Landon if Larisa ever gets that outfit…
Modern art or not it looks like a blurred close-up side view of one of those golden Oreo cookies.
By great Belenos’ beard! It’s been way too long since I read any Asterix…
OK, I may be 30 years old now but that’s not really any excuse. There must be some new ones I’ve missed… XD
Larisa’d be great in Team Rocket. Or in the Shadowbinders.
Seriously, WE WANT MOAR SUPERVILLAIN LARISA! Who’s with me here?
To think I loved you…
Yes…yes, Larissa would have a volcano hide-out, wouldn’t she…
The original abstract artist could draw and sculpt realisticly if they wanted to. they just decided were they would not follow the rules. The ones that came after are copying their stuff without knowing the classics. It is like that zen Koan. Looking at the pointed finger, instead of looking at the moon.
The one time I saw a Rothko (3 actually) close up, I giggled hysterically, that such a trivial object should be treated so reverently. I’m afraid I have a certain minimm of information that I think a work of art needs to have, and one coloured square on another doesn’t cut it.
Now I admire Larisa’s art and comic preferences. I just love the Axterix reference 😀
It must only be destroyed by the fires of Mt. Doom!
I like Laurisa. And I like that outfit. Maybe make a “Supervillain Laurisa invades Northia”? That’s be epic.
You see, people should never assume you like “all” abstract art when you say “I like abstract art”.
Who or what is Toutatis? XD And yeah, I never understood how it could be considered art, unless it takes hard work to take some paper and soak it in glue before putting it on a piece of wood in a random spot.
Art? Thats the lamest “art” I have seen, is just paintings anyone can do, probably “inspired” by a wall painted with more than one color. Honest as someone who knows artists who have wasted more than a year of real work to finish a piece of art. Seeing those ROTHKOS paintins just infuriates me.
Is like modern art just seemes to fall to two things.
1) Is the guy who made it dead? Good!
2) Is there any idiot willing to pay millions for this? Better!
aahh. as an art student, I couldn’t agree more with Larisa here..
I must be seeing things because those paintings look like empty rooms. XD

Now that sounds kinda dirty eh? ;p
Need to be more dramatic. Record it live and broadcast it all around the world and start dipping the paintings one by one.
@ L:
Well, no, I rather like Rothko.
You know, there would be something very poetic (or comic book-e) for Sandra’s boyfriend to become a superhero and her best friend to become a supervillain.
I do not approve of Larisa’s idea! This kind of abstract art must be preserved! … so that future generations may facepalm, sigh, and see they can and must do better. It’s like leaving the skull on a stick at the side of a poisoned well instead of burying it, really.
@ tahrey:
There are, I would however avoid the one about the sky falling on people’s heads (you can tell it by the cover showing meteorite strikes–I am not making this up!). There is a constant Teletubbies reference in it (I am not making this up!) which really doesn’t do anything for the series. I do however recommend Asterix Chez Rahazade, when Asterix, Obelix and Cacophonix travel to India. Asterix in Belgium is good too. There’s another one about Spartacus, which . . . isn’t bad, but could be better. There’s one featuring Obelix finally having another taste of magic potion, which has moments of definite genius. There’s one featuring Obelix and Asterix as children, which to my mind works well enough. All things considered though, the series hasn’t been overall as good as the ones by the original artist and writer.
That just made me really sad, and reading some comments even more. Not understanding or not liking some pieces of art do nat necesarily means that they are bad. For me destroing art is very close to killing and I did not expected this kind of aggresion here.
@ Petah-Petah:
There is no such thing as too much Asterix.
I have a piece of artboard that I use as a cutting and painting surface…I wonder…if I framed that, would it sell?

I looked it up in Wikipedia, very interesting!
I find it ironic that the god that Asterix invoked to keep the sky from falling on his head now has a near earth asteroid named after it! One that will be visiting this December.
@ Mike:
Well, that’s is for those who think people in “hard sciences” don’t have a sense of humor the rest of the mortals can understand. And Astronomy is more that just using a telescope, a lot of math is involved, that makes it a hard science.
That rothko, is like the guy just copied painted walls he found interesting, put a frame and… actually, I am bit jealous I din’t think on that first!
Actually, even I had the idea first, I would have done it, the whole thing about “Your art won’t be really valued until you die” thing always scared me.
this is exactly how i feel about most abstract expressionism. particularly rothko
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT ROTHKOOOOOOOOOOO
As a arts student, I say do it. DESTROY THEM LARISSA!!! I had to suffer because of those li’l bastards…
@ abowden:
If a common hack like me can make it, it didn’t deserve the fame.
It hurts to read these comments. :c Do folks really think they can replicate what Rothko achieved with his doom-portals just like that? This is why 20th century needs to be taught in high school. I love that bipolar, depressive, suicidal, first-wave ab ex reject. There’s too much drama and psychological chaos in the history and in the work for me to imagine a reason to destroy it.
:ccc Sad, sad.
