That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 11, 2017

“If you ask me, this artist is a sadist for making us spin around in circles.”

Act I, Scene I of the Ballet Jaws

“Look if we swim sideways, no one will see are big tushes!!!’

“Ethel, get your clothes on. You shameless hussy.” Ray Stevens

“Don’t be silly, Florence, there are no sharks here…..”

has info and links that point to info about this roughly 5′×7.5′ painting (I wonder if its size – where am I going to put it? – adversely affected its price).

has info about this artist. This is a repeat of an earlier strip. I posted more about the painting when the strip was first published

which sadly, though my comment text is there with the line breaks removed, still has its 18 hyperlinks inactive. &?@#!#%&!

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s A PRICELESS CLASSIC (2016) (August 10, 2017) blog entry (was MASTERPIECE #1500), accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.

Now that’s a funny comment Steve!

Drinking problem? Nope, I meant to do that. Really.

Tag, you’re IT. No, tag you’re IT. No, tag you’re IT.

“Breast stroke? I thought you said back stroke!”

Now that is the right way to swim. Just your skin.

after spawning the gals are waiting for the men to pollinate the eggs.

In 1883 this would have hung in the room the Gentlemen retired to after dinner for cigars and brandy……….and pics of nekkid women!

Now, that synchronized swimming I would watch!

“Missed me! Missed me!

Now you gotta kiss me!"
