The late comic book artist Russ Heath was born on this date in 1926, so please think of him today ...and also remember to hate Roy Lichtenstein.pic.twitter.com/4wq4LEzubh

No, the dollars earned by Lichtenstein weren't directly taken from Heath's pocket. But I can certainly hate him for being a talentless hack who made bank siphoning off the genius of his betters and passing it off as his own, while at the same time lessening its power. And I do.
You're free to dislike his paintings (I'm not a fan & much prefer other pop artists like Richard Hamilton or Jasper Johns). But he didn't pass off anything as his own since he was working in a radically different medium & stylistic register. Or did Mort Drucker "swipe" movies?
