【The Perfect Taste of Sex】

Great news for Squidward: someone finally thinks he is The Perfect Taste of Sexa good artist.

If this tweet from November 20 is to be believed, some dude's mom purchased a replica of Squidward's "Bold and Brash" painting from the "Artist Unknown" episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. You know, the painting to which the buyer responds "More like belongs in the trash." (Sorry, Squid.)

But unlike that mean cartoon fish, this discerning mom knows a true masterpiece when she sees one. "Found it at Walkers for $250," she told her son in a text message, "but the guy selling it said it could be worth $3000 or more."

Hm. We're not sure about thousands of dollars, but we do think it might be ... priceless?
