Roy Lichtenstein is an overrated hack whose only "talent" was crudely copying comic panels drawn by artists with more talent than he ever had.

How those pretentious art snobs can defend him and call him a real artist is mindboggling to me. I could literally do what he did; would that make me a great, inspired artistic master then?

^ My two favourite tea mugs have this ^ and this V on them.

Don't be angry at talent that created them, be angry at the critics who haven't seen them as equally artisically valid.

btw I've seen that ^ Lichenstein paiting close-up and it's stunning. Every dot that makes up the colour you see from a distance has been carefully arranged, and painted onto the canvas with millimetre precision. There is nothing "crude" about it.
