Jonah Samson

Know what I like? Finding out that some crusty old venerated fact or person is based on ridiculousness: that father of taxonomy Carl Linnaeus, say, went basically to online college (true), and, you know, that whole Sally Hemings thing. Jonah Samson performs similarly wonderful blasphemies by painting on antique postcards. A nervous-looking Victorian-era couple are given his-and-hers thought bubbles, hers with a spiked ball and chain, his with a gun facing her direction. The title is Despite their initial misgivings, Dan and Sarah went on to have 12 children, most of whom were conceived consensually. Damn. And look for the masked blowjob bandit. (G. Gibson Gallery, 300 S Washington St, 587-4033, 11 am–5 pm, free)
