3. Venus de Milo. Great because who else would have thought of dispensing with the traditional notions of beauty and lopping her arms off? Also the first ever thalidomide sculpture.

That’s not the work of a single human being.

I’m going to go with full bibliography of John Fante

Greatest for all mankind? Dafuq if I know but his writing has had the most impact on me

When life knocks me around I pretend I’m Arturo Bandini

Missed the "by a human being" part.

Then I don't know.

^That one is legitemately amazing. It's haunted me since I first saw it in 4th grade or something. The right panel freaked me out.

If anyone wants to check out all the cool details, here it is in absolutely ludicrous size: [EDIT: Removed it. Even though it was from Wikipedia, it seemed to have oddly low detail. It was friggin 223 mb in size and 30000x17078 pixels. Maybe my computer just couldn't figure out how to view it. Anyway, here's a better file: https://jacopofarina.eu/wp-content/u...solution_2.jpg]
