That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 15, 2021

Heinrich had the whip and clothes to join the horsey set. He just didn’t have a horse.

Hey, Joey, take your hands out of your pants. It’s making you look, uhm… ‘fat bottomed’

I think the artist forgot something. Or was he planning to Photoshop in a background later?

Is he looking to ride or be rode?

“Does this …. whatever it is make my….” oh, never mind.

Carl and his badonk-a-donk booty are about 145 years early and the wrong gender. On the other hand, he could be the original “hipster”…

She was only the stableman’s daughter, but all the horsemen knew her!!! (a very oldie, but a goodie, nonetheless!)

What an incredibly peculiar picture! No accounting for artistic vision. It is just begging to be soundly mocked.

Heinrich was easy to spot. He had the quads of Hulk and the upper body of Chicken Little.

The Jodhpurs he wears to the hunt/ have all of the room you could want/ They’ve a generous seat/ with a neat little pleat/ but they don’t look as good from the front. The striking checkered design/ is the theme of the new Spring Line/ It’s tres "cutting edge/ with the built-in wedge/ that helps to lift and define !

klaus’ life’s dream was to be on the cover of the new yorker…

The Master of the Hunt told him to go back to the golf course where he had come from

Young Dick Francis considering other career options after the fourth time losing rides to other, smaller men.

Mein gott – these English will not let me ride in my top class Berliner britches

The “Cornered” comic today has this same theme.

“Well this is pretty embareassing.”

Aren’t chaps, by definition, A**less?

This is what happens to your pants from riding a horse all day.

“Dream along with me….”

Ein Berliner?

And then he realized he had interpreted bareback all wrong.

It was the latest thing in fashion. Now if Klaus could just get them on the horse.

The horse on the far right, even though covered in a blanket, still said nein to Klaus.

♫…Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way ♪ When all at once a mighty hunt of red-clad riders he saw ♫ Plowing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw ♪

♫ Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel ♪ Their horns were bright and shiny and their hot breath he could feel ♫ A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky ♪

♫…Ghost riders in the sky. ♪

He seems to have made a specialty of single figures in his paintings. On a side note, sad, he died at 29 years old.

Glenn trying to decide if riding would be worth breaking up the great game of pocket pool he had going.

“Whip – check. Chaps – check. Now where’s that dominatrix! I’ve been a baaaad boy!”

♬ “I can tell by your outfit that you are no cowboy…♪

I was at a department banquet once, and the neighboring banquet facility was in use by the Northwest Crossdressers Association or Club, whatever. An assless chaps guy (leather) crashed our banquet and did a tabletop dance. It was outrageous. Quite a few of my more conservative co-workers left in a huff. One of my favorite memories from that job.

Behold the unsung Kardashian brother.

First thing I thought when I saw this was Melody Pond’s regeneration to River Song – It’s all going on down there. I’m going to buy a lot of jodpurs.

Got my riding whip? Check.

Got my chaps? Check.

Got my riding vest? Check.

But I still have the odd feeling I forgot something.

Ummmm … sir … you know we can see that your pocket isn’t really a pocket, right?

Looks like Dickie’s checkered past is catching up with him.

“Do you think he bought it?”

… “I think so.”

“Quick thinking on your part – telling him he couldn’t join us because he forgot to wear a mask!”

Picasso, tired of painting faces, decided to branch out to other body parts.

Decorated by Sterling? See “Wallace the Brave” on 3/13/21

Makes me wonder what Leo (artist) was smoking.
