That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 29, 2019

It was high price Reginald paid for being the best swordsman in England; every punk kid wanted to challenge him.

“Oh man, is he ever going to feel that tomorrow. He’ll be asking if he had died and no one has told him.”

Banana in your pocket I thought you were just excited to see me.

“Told you we should have clicked on that ad for ‘Stairlifts’! “

“You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away.” Who is that, anyway – who who, who who?

Could not we say that he killed himself with eight stabs?

Athos is drunk again guys!!! Whose turn is it to lug him up here!!!

“Teleport those two away, will you.”

Douglas Fairbanks. too drunk to act.

“I was fishing. We all like to fish from time to time. Try it. You might like it.”

“I was fishing. We all like to fish from time to time. Try it. Try fishing. You might like it.”

An empty gin bottle and corkscrew would be believable.

He challenged me to a duel to death. He was a far better swordsman than I. That is why I shot him with my pistol. He didn’t specify that it was only swords.

He said I should take a stab at acting. I can’t do stunts like he does though.

“Body?…What body?”

Never crack wise at red-headed guys.

all have info about this artist (except the 3rd has the middle name wrong – should be Maler), perhaps in addition to what’s indirectly pointed to by the first URL. So far, 10 works by him have been used here (11 times, with 1 repeat using a different caption).

“This is actually my ancestor Sir Walter Capp!”

“And then say that someone stabbed him with the banana?”

“No, but I have a Bic Banana. Will that do?”

The butler did it.

Borracio was always a little slow on the uptake. He finally got the point !

A fool and his sword are soon parted.

Computer, end holodeck simulation!

Victorio, wanted to frame Antonio, ran into his sword, so now both will be together forever.

“I didn’t like his Yelp review.”

well, that was a bracing bit of assassination. Who’s for a beer?

Aaron Burr: And me? I’m the damn fool that shot him

“Sire, your claim of self defense would be more credible if that wasn’t a fancy letter opener next to his carcass.”
