Stranger than fiction: Gauguin cut off Van Gogh's Ear
Just for once, I really thought I'd made something up. But no. There is no fanfic notion so slashy or cracktastic that it can't form the basis of someone's academic publication. Swiftly followed by someone else's newspaper article:
Was truth the biggest casualty in the case of Vincent and his severed ear?.
But who was the kohl-eyed stranger who took away the portrait of the monkey, and why did Theo Van Gogh speak French with an English accent? Enquiring monkeys want to know. Please campaign today to make further research funding a government priority!
This will make no sense at all unless you are one of the small number of people who read Two's Company.

viva_gloria found an even better link--with a video. Once upon a time, Van Gogh and Gauguin were fighting outside a brothel...
