Life imitates Arts (in Belgium)

Was that Karl or Groucho...sounds plausible for either one.

Karl. It's a shame that the element of satire in Marx' writings is so often underestimated.

Indeed so -- that is why the line is plausible for either Marx.

I have a feeling Karl might have appreciated the anarchic humor of the Brothers Marx. The Soviets certainly did when Harpo performed in Moscow.

Like Chaplin, Harpo's visual humor transcended the restrictions of place, time or language. Besides the Russians have a long tradition of clowns and no doubt the Soviets saw him as one with their own tradition.

Thanks for the reference Jona. :wink:
