That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 20, 2023

My original comment in 2015:

I’m pretty sure the guy is thinking about the possibilities.

Maria kept glancing at the apples and wishing that she had had time to stuff a couple into her bra before Giuseppe had arrived

The job of Chaperone is thankless, but at least if you do it right, your charge will be as miserable as you are.

/// Chicolini has never been meek,

or too shy with the ladies to speak.

He adds The Flirtation

to each conversation.

He’s the “barefoot ragazzo with cheek.”

(All due credit to Max Shulman.)

Is this when Lucy introduced Ethel to Fred?

Seriously, where do you get those socks?

Maybe they don’t want her to leave. Maybe they like it with three.

I find it funny that the misspelling red line appears in the graphic.

hat from the Chico Marx collection.

Does she, or doesn’t She, …

Leo thought the girls were being coy; actually they were trying hard not to giggle at his lame attempt to grow a mustache.

Gianni thought if he wore a cheesy fake mustache and disguised his voice the girls wouldn’t recognize him. However, the corns on his dirty feet gave him away.

Like your typical thick-headed male, Luigi thought it was his lame line of patter rather than Anna’s skillful hand that got Maria giggling coyly.

Yvonne was desperately trying to clue Bridgette in that it wasn’t the peaches in the basket that Leo wanted to get his hands on.

Tanya and Dirk trying to get Angie in on a threesome.

“You’re such a player! But if you think the callouses on my hands are impressive, you should see my feet.”

Betty didn’t speak French, but she had her doubts about that “menage a trois” Bubba kept talking about…

The Flirtation: 

Paste (including the quote marks) 

"Category:Flirting in art" site=commons.wikimedia.org 

(syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string 1,041, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting. File history has the strip coloration image.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #1195 (4/20/15) (April 19, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 20 works by this artist used here (22 times total, including this Throwback Thursday, and a prior repeat), the April 20, 2015, strip being its first use. GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the new lines in my comment there; but, perhaps the text remains informative. The October 12, 2020, strip is the last non-repeat by this artist.

Alfonzo checking to see if the basket is the right one for stomping to make peach wine.

Boy: Hey. Can I borrow your blouse and skirt? I have a hot date tonight.

THE WOMEN ON FIRE

/// The lady is burning,

fuming and churning

every day in the morn.

Eyes shine as red-hot coals.

fulminating and popping

her combustion roared.

All the men of ice melted away.

She is too hot even with asbestos.

gloves to even kiss her hand anyway.

(Done by myself only.)

He: If it is too difficult for you ladies to make…I choose you both and your apples as well!
