That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 15, 2022

Candaules liked to show off what he thought was his, but the Queen was her own woman and would get her revenge for this dishonor.

/// King Candaules thought none would believe

how his wife looked when naked as Eve.

He told Gyges, “Her beauty

must be seen; it’s your duty.”

But she woke before Gyges could leave.

/// G. was summoned next day by the Queen.

“Vile voyeur, you must now choose between

suicide (for your sin),

or do Candaules in.”

So he skewered the King through the spleen.

Yeah, she’s ready for you – I slipped her a couple of roofies.

My original comment in 2017:

“You can look but you can’t touch unless you give me Croatia.”

This slave girl is half off because she spends all her time sleeping. But the price is only half off because she sleeps in the nude.

“Gosh dad, this is the best birthday gift you’ve ever given me.”

It’s good to be the king.

This is a one-owner concubine, low mileage with lots of extras. Previous owner was an 85 year old Sultan who only took her to ceremonies and state dinners. I can get you a one year same as cash deal and throw in the couch. But you need to make a decision now. I’ve got a shah and a bit coin magnate I’m showing to tomorrow. They don’t call me Sweet Deal Larry, King of the trade ins for nothing!

I just can’t “like” this one.

Sir Loin unwraps his gift a little early…

“Just because Al Franken resigned for a thing like this doesn’t mean YOU have to!”

“Ha! You said you didn’t like women.”

“Yes. I was against it at first. Now I’m glad my sister-in-law is staying with us.”

Prince Clarence was a bit slow. The King had to finally resort to visual aids to teach him the “facts of life”

His wife’s in amazing condition:/

She looks great in any position !/

He’s displayed her to friends/

And now he intends/

To expand – and start charging admission…

He attempted to charge admission/

But neglected to ask her permission/

So she found someone new/

Who ran the King through/

And assumed the King’s former position///

So in the event you’re made King/

(Who knows what your future may bring?)/

Be sure to take care/

That the royal derrière/

Remains a mysterious thing.

The King was known for giving the best Christmas presents, much to the Queen’s dismay!

Thats a little cringe

“Oh my, those are perfect.” “And they’re real.”

Santa misunderstood my request. I asked him for a pretty female dog, but I used that other word, and I woke up to find this under my tree. She just sleeps all day and when she wakes she yells at me constantly, but, look at her!

“Father! There’s some gauzy bint on my favorite fainting couch!”

.

“Well, there go my hopes for grandchildren….”

“HEY YOU DWARVES! DID YOU MAYBE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SNOW WHITE AFTER SHE ATE THAT APPLE?”

Was Frederic Moench teased as a child by other boys calling him Butt Moench? I bet he was.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #1773 (9/5/17) (December 14, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here (2 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat), the September 5, 2017, strip being its first use.

I thought for sure there was gonna be a comment regarding sun screen.

Yes Oedipus, your wife is really your mother. “Oh, my eyes.”

jenny, faking sleeping until the men leave so she can get dressed.

♪ kingster, be wise, keep your mouth shut, don’t advertise your woman…

/// Candaulism’s a sexual fetish,

where a girl is displayed as coquettish

for her male partner’s pleasure.

Other men view his “treasure”

and those voyeurs will render him wettish.

The oracle told me that in 150 years, something called the internet will let thousands see her like this, not just you!

Sleeping beauty I see.
