2019 chalkies

Did not get to the chalk drawings at the Cleveland Art Museum until this morning, it rained (probably hard) last night, and much of the chalk washed away. There were a few puddles. It also was the first time, i ever saw any of the drawings censored/vandalised; and of course—it was by a trumpster.
Bob Ross, the public teevee paint instructor, many people were happy to see him with happy, fluffy clouds.

This must have been real neat and sharp before the color was washed.
It looks like Albert is not finished in the developing bath. Hmm, no smell of vinegar.
 This was the funniest—Elmo in Hell
 Censored/Vandalised
Did not see this was altered until i got home. "Who?" is scrawled next to Mayor Pete, and "D.J.T. 2020" is added. The museum sold the chalk to people to draw on squares, it was just like a trumpster to not pay. Perhaps, spelling was the limit of his drawing ability.
Some characters were repeated, and since Hallowe'en is on the horizon there are always some spooky drawings. Pennywise from the movies "It", and skeletons had multiple artists. The clown is holding red chalk.
      
Calvin and Hobbes, Where's Waldo, Sponge Bob, Pikachu were popular, and other cartoon and video game characters were drawn. Artists were lucky a Disney lawyer was not there to sue for copyright.
