That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 31, 2022

“D@mn horse sh1t all over heaven!”

Next frame: two stallions falling off the cloud, soon followed by the chariot.

Woman in red: “Keep up ladies! You do not want to get stuck dancing behind the horses!”

“Why does he always make such a big deal about picking up his laundry at the dry cleaners?”

“Prometheus Steals Fire From Apollo’s Sun Chariot”? My first guess was it is a painting of Phaeton recklessly driving the Chariot of the Sun God, his father. (Ovid, “The Metamorphoses: Book II”) The gods, demigods, and creatures on Heaven and Earth look on in terror in dismay. Then the Father of the gods strikes him from the chariot with a lightning bolt.

When Phaëton drives to the store/

He takes along wh0rۤ by the score/

There’s one saucy strumpet/

Who handles the trumpet../

(God knows what the rest are for..)

/// Four huge horses surrounded by crowds

pull the sun god by racing on clouds.

But a Titan-ic thief,

(who will soon come to grief),

hides a torch which in clothing he shrouds.

/// This Titan, for Zeus, had made man,

and grew fond of him, hatching a plan.

To combat cold, dark night,

he’d give man heat and light;

bringing fire from the sun, if he can.

/// From the chariot bright sunlight showered.

Sly Prometheus, ‘neath a shield glowered.

He stole fire from the gods,

thus increasing the odds

that in time man will be solar powered.

Showing my age, but I see a caption below……“That feeling you get after a good dump!”

All this trouble and Xavier still came runner up in the Halloween costume contest to a person dressed as Dr Fauci!

“You must be this tall – and naked – to ride The Chariot.”

Macy’s Day Parade will be a little different this year.

Putin’s dream.

Heckova good Halloween costume.

“Theft of fire” is merely a myth./

He’s a muscular monolith/

Who incurred Zeus’s malice/

By flaunting his phallus/

And was brutally punished forthwith.

He’s about to discover the wonders of wind chill.

He “borrowed” Apollo’s rig/

(Who could stop him – he’s awfully big!)/

Only one goddess, Venus,/

Admired his p€n1$ :/

Diana was more of a prig..///

Worst case of God Complex we’ve ever seen. The pay is good but these togas are itchy!

There’s a better known Rubens portrayal /

Of his punishment. It should dismay all/

He’s chained to a peak/

‘Neath an eagle’s cruel beak/

And the message is “crime doesn’t pay, y’all.

Things were different in the old days when the circus came to town.

Promo for Elon Musk’s next transportation innovation promise.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3020 (October 31, 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 info about this artist I used to point to here. First work by him used here.

all the ladies and many of the men love it when the naked guy goes riding.

and this one time … in band camp …

flash set of wheels…

Prometheus seems to have strayed/

And his pants he has also mislaid/

And that nasty old Zeus/

Has just let lightning loose !/

He’s naked and (rightly) afraid !

For Tuesday:

Good grief- he’s back yet again!/

Attended by groveling men…/

There seems no escape/

From this Corsican ape-/

He doesn’t know when to say when!///
