That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 18, 2018

“One person who did not forward this letter to 20 friends met with unfortunate consequences.”

After her power was turned off, Jane had to step outside to read her eviction notice.

“I’m a Nigerian prince, and I’ll give you half my fortune if you send me £200 via Dr. Schweitzer on his next voyage for administrative fees.”

In those days, it took a lot more effort to play Pokemon Go.

Her first thought; “Oh, isn’t this just dandy!”

Now you know why women hitched up their skirts when walking. This one didn’t; her hemline is filthy.

“If you are reading this you will, by now, have noticed that I’m not turning up for our meeting.”

Dear Julia, do not leave the terrace or something dreadful will befall you!

Though the folio cover lay at her feet and her hat was askew, she had managed to retain her grip on the letter and her composure. If she could just remain conscious she would have a word with the stableman about the horses’ diet.

Thid may be the first time that the original is the funniest. Nailed it!

Outside the gabled stable, Mabel of the sable tresses read the tragic cable from Abel, the stableman…

Well done, Econ01 !

She totally ignored Mr. Whipple’s advice to “Please don’t squeeze the Charmin!”

And ‘F’ is short for “feather”

" Dear Constance,

By the time you read this letter, your sister Felicity and I shall be in Kentucky, where, despite her tender years, we shall be married. I hope you don’t take this too hard. You are a sweet girl, and it was fun while it lasted. I hope someday you find someone, who can look beyond your flaws, and find it in their heart to marry you.

Regards

Reginald"

If you want it back, come over and you bring drinks and dinner.

Dearest Helen. I’m so sorry about your eye. Please give me another chance. I promise to not get so violent if there is a next time.

You may take it off of me, but you have to start with my slippers.

U up?

Nice one Reginald…..works much better than unnecessary profanity, & I ain’t no Polyanna (maybe she is?).

OK, 10 paces to the right and then 14 paces left and X marks the spot.

both have sparse info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. If the second artist info URL text ends with …, you can replace … with from 1850 to 1875. He was a member of the Royal Scottish Academy from 1871. That (in addition to some non-bio info) appeared when I tried the URL about 10 minutes after the first attempt. Trying it later, the … were back; so, maybe there was a system glitch that happened to allow access. Anyway, this is the first work by him used here.

Again, a slightly larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2041 (September 17, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

Wanted poster for the woman who tears out magazine pages and drops the magazine to the floor of the Doctor’s waiting area. :>)

Mabel, reading a threat from Superfly, who wants his hat back.

“Trdgc actn at glbstble, Mabel crd ovr Abel stblmn.”

Punked by her sorority sisters who had convinced her skunk hats would be in this year.

“Meet you in front of the steps… Now where are the steps?”
