    Hmmm, the potato eaters...did Vincent kill because he had a chip on his shoulder?

      Robert,

      I enjoy a crisp joke like that one. It Ruffles one person while yet another Lays down on the ground laughing. As for me, that one settled my hash.

      Mike
      huh?

        The mannish one is certainly Chapman, but in van Gogh's life, it was really an abusive effeminate uncle that he had to kill by proxy later on. It's all there in the painting if one has eyes to see it.

          Maybe the only "victims" that Vincent attacked were a couple of spuds that he "a-salted."

            This is where the police missed a trick : if a Peeler had questioned the potatoes, it would soon have emerged that potatoes have eyes and they see everything.

              Vincent might have been cooking blind scouse.

                  Just a quick question, as I'm rather tired of the 'clues in paintings' meme.

                  It seems that clues to several unsolved murders - for example, JtR, Black Dahlia - are to be found in the works of well-known artists. Can anyone on casebook name a solved murder case (especially one involving a sexual predator) in which clues to the murder were found in works of art executed by well-known artists or writers?

                  If not, why not? Perhaps the Sickert/Vincent/Gauguin proponents might care to answer that.

                    Vincent van Gogh’s birthday.

                    March 30, 1888
                    Vincent van Gogh turned 35.

                    Nov 8, 1888
                    Just before midnight, Mary Cox saw a man with Mary Kelly as they entered Kelly’s room--Kelly was murdered a few hours later. Cox stated the man was between 35 and 36 years old.

                    Nov 15, 1888
                    Written in a Jack the Ripper letter, “I’m 35 & Still Alive!”

                    VINCENT VAN GOGH WAS JACK THE RIPPER

                    Between 35 and 36 years old eh? Well, you're spot on, I'll say that. Between 35 and 36 years old means he was 35, right?

                    Sorry to get sarcastic, I didn't want to, but I really feel you are starting to sound desperate.

                      Hey! I've just had a thought! These theorists are taking their cue from Sweeney Todd! He baked the clues into pies!

                      Here's another thought, instead of leaving dead dogs and doorknockers at the scene, why didn't Vincent leave a paintbush?

                        Because he left his chalk?

                          Hi Henry,

                          Prepare yourself for a long period of silence.

                          In the meantime consider yourself fortunate it hasn't yet been suggested that clues to unsolved murders are contained within Jackson Pollock paintings.

                          Regards,

                          Simon

                            Hello Simon. That would be eminently sensible. After all, why NOT Jack the Dripper?

                            Cheers.
