Oh boy… you might not want to watch the documentary about his life. Bob had plenty to be sad about.

It’s a true American story.

Man uses his passion to teach and to make others happy, then some greedy assholes get him to sign his rights away to the point his son can’t even use his own last name to teach art.

America! Yeah!

Its fucked up but you gotta read what you sign or hire someone you trust to do it. Evil will always come after you unprepared. However if you expect it and do the homework you can make it out of here with dignity and sanity intact.

Except if you watched the documentary it’s pretty much implied they forged his signature or tricked him into signing when he was mentally incompetent.

I find that the people I know that objectively drew the roughest lot seem to break towards actually having a good outlook on life. Like, we spend our whole lives in this anxious state about how bad things CAN get that when you actually do catch a string of shit, you suddenly realize how good things were and can be again or something.

Some way to harness this for everyone, man. Would be neat
