I like Pettibon's comic/pop art very much, but it should be pointed out that this painting--like so much other pop art, from Johns to Warhol to Lichtenstein--is actually based on an earlier photograph--a snapshot of the sister (Maureen?) of British Moors Murderess Myra Hindley circa 1965, on her way to court with her boyfriend in the back of a cab. So in a way, yeah, it is kind of fake.
