That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 09, 2014

“I still can’t figure out how the colonialists beat us.”

Quite the fop, our John is.

Sir John Jeffreys — prat.

Looks like silver brocade…probably real silver thread. Expensive does not equal good taste. And they wondered why the peasants despised them.

Some are born prats, some have pratness thrust upon them

Er…what’s that smoke comin’ from where the sun don’t shine…?

I wish my brother George was here.

George Washington, our first cross-dressing President.

Now where’d I leave that lint brush?

How does he locate the cod piece when in a hurry, with all that garb.

Once again, so far, no work, by this artist, has appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog (if that changes, the first link will list them). A slightly-different-coloration, click-to-enlarge image can be found here, along with a description.Sir John Jeffreys Pratt (link shows his Wikipedia page) isn’t, as far as I can tell, currently shown online, by its current-location.The artist’s Wikipedia page and collection.

Dressed for the Trockaderos’ Nutcracker performance in his role as the Sugar Plum Fairy.

To put it real: none of that has ever or will ever be washed. Except maybe the stockings maybe and undergarments maybe.If real silver thread, it would tarnish pretty quickly, and it would be hot and uncomfortable to wear (and no deodorant). Soooo it was sewn for the portrait, most likely at a pretty penny and what orinoco said. An uprising on the horizon!

how is this “comic” funny?
