That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 30, 2020

“If the apples don’t work, you might try Botox.”

“How do you like them apples?”

“Actually, I’ve got my eyes on a pear.”

“Oh wow, a apple. I’m sure my men would be soooooo happy to share this. We’ll never go hungry again. (sheesh)”

“Take this to my sister in town. She’s having a power struggle with someone called Snow White. This isn’t a fair way to fight, but Sis says it’s the only way she can become the fairest of them all. Go figure.”

“You just yank the stem, and it turns into a single core, turbo-zoomed tablet that does everything but satisfy you sexually. Or maybe that, too, if you find the Easter egg feature!. That’ll be a year’s wages; the charger is extra.”

Yes, that is an amazing cherry. But you misunderstood what I wanted.

I don’t think those guys are going to be satisfied with an apple. They want a real treat.

an apple a day keeps the reaper away…

In Norse mythology apples were the source of eternal life.

Eve just kept doing her thing throughout the ages.

Before the invention of ‘Participation Trophies", those that participated in battle were awarded a single piece of fruit by the beautiful Maid Catherine. However, Bjorg wasn’t too thrilled with the apple as he already had a banana in his pocket…..or maybe he was just glad to see her.

The problem with Eric and Sven/ is they just don’t know when to say when./ You may offer them fruits/ but, insatiable brutes, they still rape you again and again.

“Bobbing for apples” before water was invented.

I spent 45 minutes strapping up my sandals for this?

I think Olaf is more interested in the horse than any gal who only has an apple to give.

I didn’t get down on one knee to ask for a stupid piece of fruit, Helen

Idun had a monopoly on the apple orchards. But she didn’t price gouge — all one had to do was beg kneeling.

Melcher definitely had the winner today.

Maybe Helga misunderstood Olaf when he said he was thinking of switching from a Dell to an Apple. But then again, Even Olaf knew that Helga wasn’t the brightest crayon in the box.

Most realistic “Thor” costume I had ever seen.

There is a new poison from the west lands, its called a tomato.

Hypnotist Act Woman: You are getting very sleepy.

Guy In the Audience: HA! Check it out! Sven insisted on having the seat next to the stage and now he’s out too! Other Audience Guy: I’m bored.

And when the apples were gone/ these Nordic bundles of brawn/ dispelled her illusions/ and any confusions../ They promptly devoured her fawn.

That’s not the apple I was looking for.

You Say Tomato and I Say Tomahto.

Gimli, thinking “Never mind the ceremonies, let’s go slay some orcs.”

Deery, would you go back into the forest and get more apples for the kiddos? Yes, bite marks will be alright…

has info and links that point to more info about this painting. Other versions has the strip coloration. It shows an illustration, not a painting.

I could find no online info on this artist, other than what’s pointed to by the title URL. First work by him used here.

“And Sven if you fail again I will have your other testical.”

Yes, this will give you eternal life. You will be Bjorn again.

Horse behind the tree, “Won’t Lars and Olie be surprised when they find out that’s a road apple in a costume!”

“As a reward for restoring my throne, I give you the highest honor I can bestow: a Cosmic Crisp apple. Go now and flaunt it before the entire world.”

foolishly iszelda thought that a apple would make the men forget about her, not to be.she was ravished that very night.

Martha Smidlock, the very first Red Cross volunteer and inventor of the infamous Box Lunch for the troops! :>)

An Apple? I am a Viking. I do not kneel for a taste of apples.
