Roy Lichtenstein is famous for his poppy, comic-style art. As it happens, he didn't even like comic books as a kid. It was his son who asked him if he could paint anything that looked like his Mickey Mouse comic book. Comics later became one of the greatest inspirations for Lichtenstein’s work, but apparently not until his son brought up Mickey Mouse.
