He Said Spirits Were Moving His Paintbrush. Artists And Scientists Believed Him.

With this video, there's a new curiosity in the Cabinet, and I'm not talking about Juscelino the capybara. (Thimble will be back soon) This episode was entirely written by Claire Dixsaut, who showed up out of nowhere on the Discord with this fully written script & asked if I wanted to use it. Did I ever. Technically this is my first 100% fan-written episode - my episodes about Mao's American Jewish friend Sidney Rittenberg, the paranoid CIA chief James Angleton, the Taiping Rebellion, the playboy Dalai Lama, and a new one releasing soon, were all co-written by my buddy Nick Miller, but for those, we both did a fair amount of the writing and research. This is the first video I've done where I made almost no additions or alterations to what was already a perfect script & a terrific story I'd never heard of. Claire is a crazy good writer & everyone should thank her for her contributions! How would you claim legitimacy as an artist if you lacked credentials in the early 20th century French art world? Assert that you were from a parallel universe where you were very high-class -   / membership   Profess your love for Disney's The Aristocats (1970) - https://x.com/parsons_tor Grow an extra mustache on your forehead -   / mrsluds   Credit your paintings to your plastic durian -   / tor.in.oregon   Also: it's been a while since I've done a Fan Art Friday or Lie of the Week. This is mostly because I'm working on several episodes at once and I don't know for sure when they'll all come out, but I promise there will be some more of those soon!
