That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 12, 2020

“I gave him a fake address to send telegraphs and letters.”

The guy is thinking: Why are all the hot chicks either taken or gay?

“Maybe if we string him along enough he’ll buy us drinks.”

Pretend you don’t notice him, but sashay a little slower. A few more days of this, and he’ll offer you the mansion just to sleep with him once.

“He’s quite the catch, you know. He’s staked out his own alley.”

“You don’t speak Italian, so I’ll translate it for you. He said he’s a temporary employer who just wanted to negotiate the three P’s: price, place, and possibilities.”

There has to be a BOGO joke in here somewhere…

‘okay, i’ll explain one more time why cucumbers are better than men…’

Luigi’s erotic “technique”/ is applauding a lady’s physique/but the truth is emergin’/ that he’ll still be a virgin/ when he has been dead for a week.

“Remember, Guido is waiting with his cosh in the next alley, so give it a little shake and we’ll have him following like a puppy.”

“Well that was really something. I can hardly walk.”

“I told you he was good.”

Ha ha ha ha…He hasn’t the slightest idea we’re gay.

“I was with him last week – it is tiny, isn’t it?” “Miniscule!”

Steve Melcher: winning comment of the year! Congratulations!!!

That’s got to be one of the best lines yet….“Hi, my name is Columbus and it’s Columbus Day…Would you like to see my mast?”

“His cologne smelled more like chloroform!” “Yeah, really, hee hee.”

How big is it? Niña, Pinta, or Santa Maria?

That may be the origin of Thelma & Louise..

Manfred faced quite a dilemma: One of these “ladies” was Esmerelda, and the other was her brother Clarence in drag. But which was which? “Ah, bother,” Manfred decided at last, “I’ll invite both of them up to my room and find out which I prefer.”

The stalker…

Conjoined twins?

Guido was used to being rejected. But what he didn’t know was that these two were members of his wife’s bridge club. Who’s laughing now?

Standin’ in the doorway watchin’ all the girls go by.

Every move you make, every step you take, I’ll be watchin’ you.

Double your pleasure, double your fun, with Doublemint….

See! I told you these pillows under our skirts would keep the would-be Lotharios at bay!

“Hey, ladies! Nice ankles!”

He likes certain parts of you, anyway.

Lucrezia : I hear Giacomo is “connected”.

Maria : Yes, to his mother by her apron strings.

What did he mean by, “I like your shiny shoes”?

“I’m telling you, Lucinda, that’s the reason they call him Piccolo Pete!”

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (who I still believe died in 1931), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 20 works (21 times, including 1 repeat) by him have been used here.

has the prior work, like this, another of the several he did while in Venice:

My comment at that prior strip also pointed to that and the artist info URLs.

“So then he says…get this….‘Why do you need more than one pair of shoes?’”

See, I told you dropping the shawl would catch his attention.

poor gusepti both his wife and mistress fell in love with each other, maybe they have a brother.

These sailors on liberty always fall for the old “white socks/clean girls” gag! :>)

No, it doesn’t mean he likes you. It means he doesn’t even think you’re human.

“…It Means That There’s No Cod In His Codpiece”
