Otherwise, we'd be without Zippy (aka Zippy the Pinhead), the best-drawn daily underground comic strip in America, still running in 300 newspapers. Griffith, at the time a 19-year-old art student at the Pratt Institute, ran into Duchamp at a gallery hosting a retrospective by the venerable Dadaist. When he told Duchamp that he, too, wanted to be an artist, the old man sternly warned, "Go into medicine. The world needs more doctors than artists."](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-02/67913723-08093607.jpg "Good thing Bill Griffith did not take Marcel Duchamp seriously.

He has no job and no...Tags: Jack Black, Comedy (genre), The New York Times, Fiction, Nathanael West

'Art School Confidential'
![If a more elegant and succinct explanation of what compels some people to go to art school has ever been filmed, I haven't seen it. Terry Zwigoff's "Art School Confidential" begins with a steady, mostly silent (except for a rhythmic pounding of fist on nose) shot of a skinny kid getting his face bashed in by the school bully. Cut to the same kid standing in front of the class wearing a beret and a striped shirt, saying, "I am a genius. I am the greatest artist of the 20th century. I am Pablo Picasso," and the picture is complete. A portrait of the artist as a young man getting his face kicked in.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-05/23271633.jpg "If a more elegant and succinct explanation of what compels some people to go to art school has ever been filmed, I haven't seen it.
