That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 13, 2022

“Oh crystal ball, when will my laundry be ready?”

The original world globe had only an “x” on it for where he was standing…

In this hazing act Kenny had to carry the punch bowl from one frat house to another.

that… is a damn freaky looking guy. The neck and arms are too long, and the chest is oddly articulated.

This was Joey’s last shot in the strip bowling tournament. If he missed, he would lose his last article of clothing, his lucky hat.

/// The odd stance of Young Man with a Discus

makes the crowd fear he’s drunk and might risk us.

So, it’s quite a relief

that this nude “side of beef”

isn’t plastered. He tore his meniscus.

Suppositories were very big in those days.

Strange woman. “Fetch me my crystal ball and don’t get any lint on it”. Anal retentive I think.

Pheidippides loses again at strip-bowling:

One assumes just before one throws/

If he misses this spare/

He’ll have nothing to wear -/

He’s trying to win back his clothes..

Pheidippides is in deep sh*t !/

His problem’s a grave one, to wit:/

It’s his very last chance/

To win back his pants/

And he’s facing a seven-ten split..

bowling in the nude puts everything in stark(ers) relief…

Kenny always went to far when the teams were shirts and skins.

I wish I could tell you he won/

But the truth is more troubling, old son:/

The outcome’s unknown/

For he’s locked up in stone /

And his last roll will never be done…

Hey, Kenny’s cheating! He’s throwing three balls at once!

Yet more proof that the song “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” was inspired by a Swiss artist.

Clearly, Johnny didn’t understand when his date said she preferred men with bigger balls.

Spy vs. Spy: the early years.

/// Leon tip-toes with high-stepping leg.

For some breakfast he’d needed to beg.

Now he treads with great care

to the nearest hearth where

he will scramble his meal, ostrich egg.

“Mark it 8, Dude.”

He wanted to be a nude discus thrower in the arena but unfortunately he come up short.

“I don’t get it. When Mom did nude fortune telling, the customers flocked to her door!”

Sisyphus’ brother, Pansyphus.

Nudist bowlers have to be extra cautious to avoid damaging their balls.

Not a comment on today’s panel, but a thank you. A while back..a long while the comments turned to the subject of science fiction, and one of you mentioned Connie Willis’ “To Say Nothing of the Dog”. I was intrigued and found it at my library, and LOVED it. So, of course, I had to read “Three Men in a Boat” (had to buy that one) and then reread “To Say Nothing”. And then one gets kind of hooked and I just finished “The Doomsday Book” which immediately became my most favorite Scifi of all time. I can’t believe I got to be 72 and was not aware of these gems. I have been reading Scifi since I was a child with Madelaine L’Engle and C.S. Lewis. So, whoever you are, you are an angel and a blessing in my life, and I still have all those Willis books to track down and enjoy. Life is good.

Unfortunately, Eros took one step too many and was called for traveling.

don’t they make him wear those red and green shoes?

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2941 (June 13, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to some info about this artist. First work by him used here.

“You put your left foot in, you take your left foot out . . .” :)

Back in the time of Atlas, the world was a much smaller place.

Actually, not bad form…..

Phillip was not sure if nattily would like the box of candy cause she likes his " big box" better

Most alleys require bowling shoes.
