That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 20, 2020

Cupid’s archery lessons were paid for by the divorce lawyers’ association.

“We could pump you up with steroids to give you enough muscles to shoot straight.”

William Tell finds out what it’s like when the tables get turned.

“I know it would be easier with a phaser, honey, but we’re not trying to stun the target, we’re trying to make him irrational so he’ll do something a sane person would never think of. An arrow dipped in Love Potion Number 9, or chocolate, is the only thing way to do that.”

The annual picnic of the NAA, predecessor to the NRA.

♩cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow go

straight into the bull’s eye ‘cause from that distance you can’t bloody miss…

“Stop calling me ‘Cupid!’ My name is Queen. Oliver Queen Jr!"

After all the quarantine drinking people have done this year, I’d be surprised if he didn’t keep hitting the liver.

“Bow Jest”. (Beau Geste)

The target that hangs from the Herm /(that IS the correct Grecian term/ will never be hit/ by this fat little twit/ But still he’ll inherit the firm..

“Training Day”

I think we have a Psyche sighting!

…and don’t think of your secretary!

For the last time, you may not have an “official Red Ryder carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time"….and be careful not to shoot your eye out kid!

An arrow from his quiver is intended to make ones heart quiver.

Yes, I know it’s hard. But, no, you may not take off the string like that woman from 2 weeks ago.

If you decide to go with the longbow, be sure to get a codpiece.

Little Eros with his bow / selected his targets with care, you know. / The amorous version of Eeeny – Meeny / Miney and Moh.

so… there are a whole lot of people from last year going around being very emotional?

In love with the statue of limitations.

Yet another female teacher caught in an inappropriate relationship with one of her young male students. Seems like the news is rife with it these days…

“Awh Mommy, why can’t I shoot real people like Cleopatra?”

“SHADDAP! I ALREADY TOLD YOU THEY COST TOO MUCH!”

Hey, those lessons must be paying off. Cupid only shot 15 people in the liver at this year’s Olympus Barbecue Cook-off and Archery Competition event. I’d call that an improvement over last year’s 24.

You’ll have to make do with this statue target, dear. We’re completely out of servants. :>)

Now the plot is, after you knock off old 2020 you put on a diaper and a sash, and then you take over 2021. Good lad! :>)

He gives love a bad name.

young man, your never going to keep those old men away from you if you don’t get good at this.

Lady, don’t you know what happens when you let little kids walk around without a diaper?

Gee, Aunt Diana, I don’t really want to hunt in the woods. Can’t I just learn to make the flowers and vegetables grow, like Mom? How come you don’t do those Fertility things?

Liver hell…it the jewels..lady!
