That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 28, 2020

Russian ambassador shows up with the bill for the night’s dinner.

Taco Bell’s first delivery.

Guy in the back thinking, “I sooo want to stab this guy.”

Russian version of The Three Stooges: Wary, Woe, and Surly.

Sealed for freshness—and your protection!

Chamberlain: “Sire, here is that fresh batch of French Letters you ordered! The manufacturer says he used only the finest sheep intestines!”

Ming the Merciless delivering some drug-laden Mongo Munchies to Flash!

Do you have any without rat in it?

the russian ambassador was pleased and proud to offer the roman emperor a lovely packet of wet wipes…

The royal turd-polisher was really starting to get on the nerves of the rest of the palace staff. Did he really have to wrap each loaf individually?

When Boris that burrito bears/ no trace of mirth his visage scars/ he somehow makes that lowly chore/ a ceremony fit for Tsars!

The foundation of the Royal Gas Works.

Damn, possum roadkill again for dinner?

How correspondence arrived, back in the days before email.

Beware of Russians bearing gifts!

Isn’t there supposed to be a mariachi guy accordioning in the burrito?

And then someone recites Roberto Arroyos’ poem, “To a Burrito”.

“You no wanna no sea bass?”

Rasputin in disguise on his way with the Tsarina (ahem ) breakfast.

This artist was one seriously intense guy, or at least he made himself look that way. Check out his self-portrait at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyacheslav_Schwarz (scroll down to the images just above the references section.)

I hate these midnight deliveries from Danube Prime. The guys in the barracks laugh when I put my armor on over my pyjamas.

“Your majesty, the royal cat left this on the doorstep.”

They always did everything with such pomp and style in Ivan the Ignominious’ court. Even the orders for your execution were delivered to you on a golden platter.

Back in the day, Erik The Red fanboys were everywhere in the Royal Court.

I would really like to know the original title of this painting. ( I did search, but no luck so far.)

The guy on the right looks like Jack Black. :)

“Uh oh. I put the letter on the plate. I must have mailed the lasagna.”

Looks to me like a white rat with brown spots.

Dr. Smyth in order to prove to king Julius that the queen will soon be “in heat” by showing him the queen’s sanitary nappy.

Steve M’s caption brought to mind the opening passage of “Monsignor in the City” in A Tale of Two Cities in which 6 lords ceremoniousy serve hot chocolate to Louis XVI.
