Peter Bagge's critique of modern art

Peter Bagge is the comic artist who gave us the Hate series of indie funny books published by Fantagraphics Books. In this comic strip that he drew for Reason Online, he does a wonderful job of criticizing modern art and the establishment's view towards art in general.
Rather than try to "teach" people to appreciate art that has no MEANING or RELEVANCE to their lives, we should instead be marveling at the countless inspired man-made objects that literally surround us, both inside and outside our own homes. So who needs MODERN ART MUSEUMS?!?
Who needs modern art museums indeed?
