That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 24, 2023

Wife trying to convince husband she needs a Birkin purse.

She did okay at Mardi Gras.

Florida weather got so bad this summer that, by the time you choose the perfect accessories, mould had time to grow on your clothes before you were even ready to go.

/// Painter William, a bit of a dunce,

did The Birthday, (his wife’s; Edith Hunt’s.)

All her presents displayed

left poor Edith dismayed.

He insisted she wear all at once.

Percy couldn’t explain the paraphernalia she found in his glove box so he had to wear it from then on.

Good one, Steve.

The latest accessory for dog owners; a designer poop bag

Alice stood in front of her husband with all of the feminine items she had found around the house, none of them hers. She awaited his explanation.

Bravo! made me laugh.

First official rendition of “girl hands.”

It’s her Saturday morning haul !/

She’s completed her yard sale crawl/

As was always her plan/

She has loaded the van/

And now it’s off to the mall…

Ooohh,skeeball…..my FAVORITE!

“How do I feel about these gifts you’ve brought me? Well, my middle finger has a cramp but I think the third finger can convey the message adequately. "

“I’ve searched everywhere and I don’t have a usb c cable to charge up my toy.

There’s something you may have missed-/

It’s the angle of her left wrist:/

Since she was a maiden/

It’s been heavily laden/

But from shopping she cannot desist..///

Her right hand she saves for Whist,/

And she’s spared it the hideous twist/

And bearing the brunt/

Depicted by Hunt/

For her left hand cannot make a fist.///

Her numbers of fingers and toes/

Are normal – there are twenty of those /

But when she’s in the throes/

Of purchasing clothes/

Her left hand she simply can’t close.///

Her indebtedness hourly grows/

To what limits? Well, nobody knows../

But poor Holman Hunt/

Will be bearing the brunt/

With his brushes- he’s counting on those..///

He’s a famous pre-Raphaelite./

Can he outsell Rossetti ? He might/

The Impessionist French/

Think he gives off a stench/

There’s a pretty good chance that they’re right…

“William, I understand you don’t want to spend all that money on a Christmas tree, but my arms are getting tired.”

This is why women don’t ask us guys to do their clothes shopping for them.

The Birthday: 

Paste (including the quote marks) 

"Category:Paintings by William Holman Hunt" site=commons.wikimedia.org 

(syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, 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 Birthday, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #687 (October 6, 2011) 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, may take days while he’s away) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 4 works by this artist have been used here (5 times total, including this repeat), the February 21, 2012, strip being its first use. GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the new lines in my comment and reply there; but, perhaps the text remains informative, though somewhat outdated, since this work now resides in a museum. The January 22, 2019, strip has the prior by him. The artist info URLs in my comment there have become here links in my blog comment.

the madam in her right hand she holds his "member. in her left holds his testes. he refused to pay to get them back since he was having a sex change.

Would you hurry up and finish your painting? The pool boy said he had a special present for me.

In the one hand she’s holding a fan

Once owned by a Chinese courtesan

In the other.. aha!

Have you heard of ‘ben wa’ ?

If you have you’ll no doubt understand…

Why one can’t go into further detail here.
