Hokusai, most definitely.

Hokusai. But what is the title of that first Hogarth painting? I could probably google it but I think I'll just call it "Frustrated Music Teacher Finally Gives Up."

E, it's the "Breakfast Scene from Marriage a la Mode.

Here's a mailed vote for Hokusai.

Hogarth has actually appeared in this online entertainment before -- FIVE FREAKING YEARS AGO, with his Beer Street and Gin Street caricatures. Cool.

I guess I vote for, geez, I dunno. I'm going to pass again.

Since it doesn't look like it will sway things at this point, I cast a vote for the funny paintings of Hogarth.

Hogarth, but I love Hokusai, and I can imagine voting for either of them depending on my mood.

Hokusai takes it, 6-4!
