Initial post

Intriguing how much those 2 paintings just sold for (over half a million US$)! In preauction estimates, they were anticipated to bring $30,000-$50,000 each. Shows how important they are to our (alleged) culture! Elf | Talk 20:51, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I recently saw what I think was a Gary Larson cartoon showing a series of "prototypes" for the painting, involving snakes, chickens and cows. Can anyone confirm that I am not mistaken, I would like to add this to the popular culture section but I want to check my facts first.

A Friend In Need

It seems like, most of the time, when one of these paintings is seen in pop culture, it's A Friend In Need that they use. An example of this would be on the TV sitcom Roseanne. Perhaps this information should be included in the article.

Agreed --Magallanes 01:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Computer Game

There was a computer game based on the paintings.

Which one? 200.117.37.221 23:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Cheers

I seem to remember an episode of Cheers when Sam was at Robin Colcord's house and saw one of the paintings. He laughed until Robin said it was an original. No idea what episode sorry - SimonLyall 05:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Ownership of paintings

Are they all in private hands, or are any on exhibit anywhere? Шизомби (talk) 23:54, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Entire series pictures

I noticed that we only had one of the series up as a picture in the article and it is listed as PD if the rest are in the same time period and hopefully PD shouldn't we have thumbnails of the set up, obviously it's not necessary but considering that some are more famous than others (which ones are more famous is a judgment we shouldn't be making probably) encyclopedically we should show them all.

In popular culture section removed

in case anyone goes looking for it. I have mixed feelings about such sections. The more references there are or the more notable the things making the references, is noteworthy, though such things can start to dwarf the actual content of the article. References that are themselves notable (the references have been reported on) ought not to fall afoul of this, but may be harder to find. Шизомби (talk) 01:15, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Not sure you should be removing or adding anything simply based on mixed feelings. There are probably guidelines on this that should be consulted rather than personal opinion.198.108.84.126 (talk) 16:55, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Inconsistency in numbers?

I noticed that in the summary it says there are sixteen paintings in the series, but then in the titles list there are seventeen paintings listed. If I knew which was right I would edit the other! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.180.192.10 (talk) 09:56, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

The tails of the dogs

At a major World Poker Championship, the dogs checked their tails in so their wagging would not give away the fact they held a good paw. A fire broke out in the casino, and the fleeing canines had to grab whatever tail they could. So now, whenever two dogs meet, they sniff each other's tails to ask: "Is that my tail you're wearing, by any chance?" Das Baz, aka Erudil 17:44, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

References to it in new Media ?

Would it be good to have such a section? Please feel free to add a few and then put it in the article. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkMsSIjQXxo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.83.229.66 (talk) 19:51, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
