In a certain Calvin and Hobbes comic, done by Bill Watterson, has a reference to this painting. Should this be included?

I'd say yes. The usual format is under a header that reads something like "xxx in popular culture" or, given the rather long title of the article, perhaps "References in popular culture".

Dream Theater also refers to the title of this painting while not necessarily referring to the painting itself. I'll write that in as advised, but I have no knowledge of the Calvin and Hobbes reference. D. F. Schmidt 20:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the Dream Theater reference, as such rhetorical questions are almost archetypal and there is no evidence that Dream Theater's lyricist was inspired by this piece. Jedidiah 19:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Layout

Is there a way to make the table with the thumb flush left or flush right? I think that would look better than center justified. --Rajah 07:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suicide

Did Gauguin actually commit suicide after the painting's completion? I don't think so, but since his vow to do so is mentioned in the article, surely its completion or not ought to be also. Lindsay H. 06:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
