I don't think I played the previous entries. Yeah, it's rare to find a game where I haven't played the previous installments. I don't think this is really helped by the fact that my mom paints. She doesn't really look at a lot of the more well known pictures. There was a time where I was really into paintings.
I still appreciate them. It's great to see these nice and funny art pieces in themselves. They are quite entertaining to just look at. You really don't know what cartoon character is going to show up next. I know Tchwaikosky wasn't a painter.
