A Modern Midnight Conversation and Hogarth

[pickwick]

Hi - Can anyone tell me whether "A Modern Midnight Conversation" has any connection to the Hogarth picture of the same name? Is it just a coincidence?

Ha, nice coincidence. Looking at the giant bowl, there's definately some kind of (organic) chemistry involved.

They do appreciate art, so perhaps this picture served as inspiration
