That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 25, 2013

The skull indicates that she may also try something on her own, rather than just relying on luck.

I’d really like to hear Sister Wendy’s take on this one.

I just thought she couldn’t remember where she’d put her glasses… silly me!

I’m not sure which is more creepy… the skull, or the baby head on the shelf.

Many Spanish religious kept skulls around to remind them of mortality in the Middle Ages. Don’t know whose skulls they were using, but then what with the Plague, infant mortality and all I’m sure they had plenty around.

St. Jerome has a secret.

“Oh, Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz…..”…….Failing that can you send that nice young man at the off-licence to me..Off-licence = liquor store.

She’s trying out that new Rhasta headpiece.

Judging by her “watch”; it may be nigh time to go.

dear lord, when i said “a little head”…

The artist‘s Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories).Second, of the 3 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.The Second link points to the prior strip featuring a work by this artist. @Baslim the begger, a frequent contributor in the first months of this strip, left at least one comment there that has been deleted. In fact, as far as I can tell, all his That Is Priceless comments have been deleted. If he (or she) is reading this, I hope you’re well. I miss your contributions.

just once before I die…just once, while I can still feel it!

Wait ! is that a miniature hat on the table ? Does it go on top of the shrunken head that used to be her husband ?

I like the little hat.

Little does she realize that’s the Gerber Baby, not the Christ Child.

Here is another work by this artist.

The skull was from a former opponent.
