Leonardo was a genius, but I'm not convinced he was a genius artist. Michelangelo was definitely a genius artist. He was insane. The Sistine Chapel? Three thousand square feet on his back? Mammoth marble statues? There's a cute little quote attributed to Michelangelo saying something like when I see a block of marble, I see the statue inside it, and all I do is chip away until it is free. Something like that. But where did he get the marble? He quarried it himself! It's not like he went down to the marble store like you or I would. He got a team of laborers and they went into the mountains and they risked life and limb for years actually finding the marble and bringing it to his studio a hundred miles away. Over two dozen major sculptures, including the David and the Pietà. Plus some pretty impressive paintings. Did I mention the Sistine Chapel? Oh, and he was an architect with buildings all around Florence and Rome. So forgive him if he isn't all that impressed with Leonardo Da Vinci, the toast of the town, the belle of the ball, and his tiny little Mona Lisa, and unfinished Last Supper. Sure he had genius ideas, but did he actually ever make that flying machine? He was a genius dreamer who could sketch up big ideas. Go dream some big ideas while sitting in the Laurentian Library and explain to me why Michelangelo should adore Leonardo Da Vinci.

Everyone in Santa Royale is so excited about the Painting Exhibit coming to Downtown Museum. They've been anticipating it for months, ever since the Board of Directors announced that the Painting Exhibit's world tour would include Downtown Museum. There are many people in Santa Royale who love looking at Painting. And who better to enjoy it with than the substitute art history teacher who knows a lot about Painters and stuff?

Late night post: I'm perplexed by Dawn in the second panel. Is she placing her right hand on Harlan's knee, or is she just folding it around her waist? In this particular case, I think both. The wonders of the Worthiverse. Exciting times indeed.

So, apparently nothing happened at Harlan's home... Not that I wanted Dawn to get hurt, but I'm also pretty furious that our author may think it is perfectly normal for a young college student to go over to her professor's home alone to practice yoga. Also, I'm furious that Dawn thinks that sandwich looks appetizing.
