I'm not an expert in the graffiti arts, but it seems to me that graffitiers are a lot like dogs!
No, I don't mean that they're friendly, or howl when a firetruck goes by — I mean that they claim, and re-claim, their territory!
You may remember from such posts as
The Same Coin, that the fence beside the formerly-beloved Yaffa Cafe, on St. Mark's Place, was claimed by the graffitier Cool.
But gaze upon this:

Cool's territory-marker is gone!
Lucky for him, the boiler went kaput in the building next door, requiring an external heating source (called "donkey boilers!) be brought in:

Which is better: white with orange, or orange with white?
