    That doll is better dressed than the typical German factory worker form back then! And it has better health care!

    Cheri was dreaming of becoming a doctor, or a scientist, or a professor. But noooo, she is a girl and therefor must become a mother. Heavy sigh.

    Where I live “peloton” means a firing squad. What does it mean in English?

    We can see from the cake on the tray/ that this ain’t your first snack of the day/ and if “mommy” continues/ to cram “carbo’s” in youse/ the problem ain’t going away.

    It actually is named after a firing squad because when you buy one for your wife that’s what you’ll be standing in front of.

    It’s really a problem when the doll is asking, “Does this dress make my butt look big?”

    Praise be to the instinct maternal/ of which she’s displaying a kernel/ be they calves, be they colts/ be they darlings or dolts/ if they’re hers, they’re a wonder eternal.

    The doll wouldn’t actually eat so Lizzie Borden soon took it out on her parents.

    Empathy training at the German Hospital for the Psychopathic generally had no effect other than to identify those girls who would be well suited for work as Concentration Camp Matrons.

    The Doll Mother

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anton_Seitz_Die_Puppenmutter_1897.jpg 

    has info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

     

    https://www.askart.com/artist/Seitz_Anton/11069774/Seitz_Anton.aspx 

    has info about this artist (again, if truncated, it can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL, which indirectly points to his German Wikipedia page: 

    https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Seitz_(Maler) 

    (again, Google Chrome can automatically translate as necessary). So far, 2 works by him have been used here (3 times total, with this different caption repeat). 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2018/08/27?comments=visible 

    has the prior (my comment there pointed to the same artist info URL).

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2599 (December 14, 2020) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.
