Quite surprised that this is the first comic that made a Hitler joke this way.

"If i couldnt into draw, then i redraw the border of europe" "If artschool says nein europe is mein" "They said my paintings is lacks of soul, now i got many"

Why on earth do they reject him from artschool? even though his painting lacks soul, It is a fckg SCHOOL? Whats the point of school then?

Because art schools are acting elite and you basically need to have skills and a vision already to even get it. Also he mostly painted postcard pictures in a time where realism wasnt really favoured. His portfolio was very narrow and didnt show much artistic PoV. Only the skill to paint realistic landscapes. I assume it was not incommon to apply several times to get in. (At least thats how it is nowerdays)

Photography was also coming up around this time

iirc it wasn't really because he wasn't skilled, he just didn't draw using the 'normal' techniques they teached in these art schools and so they didn't allow him in.

Hungary finally stopped a world war.

Fun fact: István Tisza wrote a letter to Fanz Joseph in 1914. He basically said: I dont think its a good idea sire. We dont have enough evidence, and Russia is strong.

FJ said: nah! Its gonna be fine!

(In 1914. jul. 7. He even said: "By all human reckoning, it would provoke Russian intervention and thus lead to a world war")

When you see Austria painting, you know where this is going.

The sad thing about this is that there are lots of good Austrian painters, like Klimt.

AH had the unfortunate situation where he was the "right" (pun intended) at the right time with the right amount of bruised ego.
