That's not the actual painting

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But it is really close, which is the joke.

[–] neo@lemy.lol 1 points 2 years ago

Is it so? I mean really close?

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, it's a painting of a... dog

[–] bazus1@lemmy.world 52 points 2 years ago (2 children)

just for reference...

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 years ago

I still see a dog but this time with its tongue out and a big black nose.

Ruined forever

The others on the pier don't seem to concerned about anything..
Looks more like this painting should have been called, "The 'Oh shit, I think I left my wallet on the bench back there'."

[–] neo@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

They could be looking the other way, but I always understood the scream to be internally anyway. Maybe due to existential crisis... or due to a forgotten wallet.

Maybe they stepped in dog shit and now they feel like a dog... I'm getting flashbacks to the torture that was school... maybe that's the point of the scream... AAAHHH

Interesting note: Some think the red sky was what Much actually saw. Krakatoa had exploded 10-years earlier and the skies were still red.

[–] No_Change_Just_Money@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago

10 years of bloodred sky seem like an appropriate reason to scream

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now i can only see the dog noooo

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 38 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, they did edit the image to make it look more like a dog.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 years ago

I hadnt seen the original in a while and actually thought it looked like this.

[–] Downcount@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

That's why they can only see the dog, duh!

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As others have said, this is a doctored version of the painting.

[–] rooroo@feddit.de 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s dogtored alright!

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Get out

Title suggestion: 'The Bark' or 'The Woof'

*I changed my mind. Neither of those. Instead - 'The Howl'. Works for both!
