That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 22, 2020

Another Tinder fiasco…

They went to the well and wished for a wild woman, but they got more than they can handle.

Timmy has fallen in the well, but he doesn’t want to leave.

This was definitely the strangest thing on their bucket list.

Man o’ man. Some games of scavenger hunt can be really cutthroat.

Pierre secretly cursed the fact that his face mask always rode up on his face when the scenery was improving.

still from yet another perplexing fellini film…

The well water tastes funny……

When some court can (at last!) compel/ the truth to rise from her well/may the “source of the smell”/ spend years in a cell/ before he reports to Hell.

Based upon where he is grabbing that woman, I’d say the man in blue was named Drumpf…

Then there is a definite history of trying to keep the truth from emerging…

Semaphore isn’t an efficient way to reach the police when you’re being assaulted.

Nothing funny about this at all!!!!

Gwen, baseball’s first female pitcher,didn’t have much of a fastball but she sure could distract the batters.

Behold! The Last Incandescent Light Bulb!

Sexual assault.

“Give that vaccine back — you are not at the highest risk!”

An early rehearsal for the 1984 Apple computer advertisement.

This land which we occupy/ has been brought to its knees by the lie/ Now “alternative facts”/ must be given the axe/ if they ain’t, then we’re all gonna die !

“That ain’t no way to treat a lady..”

She’s a witch! Push her into the well!

“Not now, guys. I’ve got to put up this light bulb.”

This is apparently “Truth Leaving The Well,” an allegory for the Dreyfus Affair. That must have been quite a conversation with the model:“Eddie, why do I have to take off my top?”“To protest anti-Semitism! Duh!”

Well done!

Well….

You’re looking in wrong direction for fingerprints, dear.

STAY JILL! YOU’LL JUST END UP TUMBILIN’ AFTER!

The early Olympic Event, Near Naked Women Throwing A Glowing Shot, was ultimately cancelled because 1) the initial constant interference by male spectators and 2) the eventual domination of the sport by Russian “women” (which did substantially reduce issue #1.)

“OUCH! I don’t shave there!”

On bath night, Bridget was always a handful!

No! No! You can’t make me take a bath!

What the heck is the original title of this painting? What a strange picture.

She swore off going to frat parties after that …

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist, perhaps in addition to than what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here.

has the prior (my comment there used the same artist info URLs, the second of which may be unresponsive).

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2604 (December 21, 2020) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

While I admit to liking paintings of beautiful naked women, it seems like the story would be better illustrated with a hideous person. The “naked truth” is typically despised because it is also the “ugly truth”.

The Brits have the “Lady in the Lake” and the French have the “Lady in the Well.”

I can’t imagine the model holding that position for any length of time.

To tell the truth, she’s a hard one to catch.

The auction was contentious, but Althea insisted upon getting her bid in.

I thought the Mahdi in the well was a man!

Is this a catch and release program?

Even in the beginning fanaticism demanded a piece of clothing as a memento.

It looks like we invoked this image once too often in the recent past. Sort of like “Speaking of the Devil”.

AOC…at it again!
