This one is partly an Art History meta reference. “Fountain” is the name of a piece by Dada artist Marcel Duchamp, who was “taking the piss” (as the British say) about the whole idea of ART. He parodied the tradition of public sculptural fountains by taking a discarded urinal, putting on its side, and calling it… “Fountain”. Duchamp himself has been parodied countless times since then, including a post-modern performance artist spitting out water from his mouth and calling it “Fountain”. This comic also an example of me doing a “cold open” and saving the title and credits for the last page.
