There Was a Little Girl,
Who Had a Little Curl
——————————–
There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very, very good,
But when she was bad, she was horrid.
Continuing my series of vintage Autochromes, to give back to Teresa who amuses us with vintage pictures on her blog. To recap, Autochromes are an early color technology with pictures going back to 1907.
Today’s Photos:
Sphinx Woman (1910)

Woman being saucy (1915) (proving that yes, people did actually smile in the old days, Grace the Face notwithstanding):

True Native Americans on Horseback (1915)

And finally, something special:

Yo, Dad! No Father’s Day card for you. The way I see it (and according to your profile) this is your first comment ever. I think Teresa should be proud that her comic strip stirred you into such profuse adjectival action! Then again, maybe you’re a troll we already know… with a new identity just for today.
And, Dad, we’re not just HAPPY. We’re SLAPHAPPY!!!

I prefer garlic beef myself, accompanied, of course, by a pot of tea. Skip the overdose of little blue pills.

Teresa is probably beyond help… which is lucky for us. We get to see her mind unraveling daily.

I think that guy does need a fork. Who doesn’t?!….
But that definition of priapic needs expanding - liable to create some hard feelings from King Priam.

Priapus-head is so busy eyeing that fork— he doesn’t notice that his food is fleeing. Rookie mistake.

@ grapfhics how about: “When she was bad, she used to sniff small raccoons.”

Ask your waiter if chopsticks are right for you.
If your digestion lasts for more than four hours, consult your doctor.
