Storyline

Tommy has enlisted Sally in the school bake sale and Sally takes it just a bit too serious. Meanwhile, Harry feels bad about himself because he has failed everything he has tried so far. When Dr. Albright tells Dick she paints, Dick takes Harry to a class and Harry turns out to be a good painter. Dick on the other hand is lousy at it and for the first time experiences what it is to be less good at something than Harry. Written by Marco van Hoof <k_luifje7@hotmail.com>

"The Art of Dick" is one of the mediocre-to-good episodes of "3rd Rock," in which a stagnating Harry decides to take up a new hobby: art, prompting a jealous reaction from Dick (surprise, surprise). It's not that it's not good. In fact, it has its moments-- Sally explaining to Tommy why one of the bake sale moms "had to be broken for the sake of the unit"-- but it just isn't as clever as others before and after it. In fact, it mainly loses points for the fact that the B-storyline (Sally's command takeover of the bake sale) is more entertaining than the main plot.

-"I don't believe I've seen you before." -"I don't believe you're blond."
