That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 23, 2019

The one on the right is the illustration in OED next to the definition of THROUPLE.

The 1851 boyfriend died sooner, only because he had a 168 year head start.

I don’t care about the “Triad” implications, but even the dog is disturbed by the fact that of the three of them, it’s the guy who’s wearing the pantyhose (long before Joe Namath).

Distracted to the point of tripping over the dog.

Henry VIII meets Anne Boleyne while still married to Catherine.

Just because a guy has placed his order does’t mean he can’t keep looking at the menu. These young lads just need to learn discretion.

little sis had always been such a leech…

The dog seems more concerned that he has what looks like a cat on his hat (not quite Dr Seuss)

“You can have him! I’m tired of him wearing my hat and clothes!”

Screen shot with “misspelling” of John’s last name underlined in red.

He’s the boyfriend? With that clown costume, I thought he was the hired entertainment.

You ain’t nothing but a hound dog!

I think its more a case of “#dumped girlfriend 1851”

Donald treated his wives like cars: trading them in every three years or 10K miles

And 1761, David Garrick….https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Garrick_Between_Tragedy_and_Comedy

“We switch partners daily / To play as we please. / Twosies beats onesies, / But nothing beats threes. / I sleep in the middle, / I’m left,Und I’m right, / But there’s room on the bottom / If you drop in some night.” “Two Ladies” from Cabaret; Book by Joe Masteroff; Based on the play “I Am a Camera” by John Van Druten; Based on stories by Christopher Isherwood; Music by John Kander; Lyrics by Fred Ebb (1966).

I don’t really see, why can’t we go on as three?

It must’ve been nice for the women back in the days of men in tights as it would’ve been easier to see who was truly interested. And whether or not they in turn would be interested. Wink wink nudge nudge.

It would have been common, indeed expected, for a courting couple to be accompanied by a ladies maid or other female as chaperone in the early to mid 19th century.

Love the tights, nice legs.

Of course we’ve all seen it before / It’s clear that he’s trying to “score”/ it’s unpleasant, agreed/ but the male "spreads"his seed/ It’s Darwinian, nothing more.

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (again, the askart.com URL can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to than what’s pointed to by the title URL. This is the first work by him used here.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2313 (October 22, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

Cinderella knew exactly what she was doing when she insisted that her step-sister accompany her and King Philip on their daily morning stroll.

Whether in 1851 or 2019, the real problem is that some random guy is photobombing a pair of lesbian lovers.

It’s in the eyes. There’s no difference between then and now.

men always looking for better girlfriends.
