    /// This odd scene’s filled with objects symbolic,

    like the spyglass, its size hyperbolic.

    Length and girth overreaches,

    plus it’s aimed at her peaches.

    Ben and Eleanor— eager to frolic.

    Steve Miller suddenly comes up with the lyrics for “Space Cowboy”after his uncle Maurice tells him the story of shaking the peaches out of her tree

    It really is rather uncanny/

    How he’s drawn to that canyon on Annie/

    The crevasse which reflects/

    The one which bisects/

    The crease that cleaves Annie’s fair ”fanny”.

    Alice was beginning to think there was more to his compliment on her flower and peaches.

    I’m telling you, Martha, cannabis is the cash crop of the future, and not just because of the pretty flowers. Let’s fire up a bowl and I’ll tell you how it will change this new nation of ours.

    ♫ Eleanor Ridgely, holding some fruit on her lap as she sits by her man. Lives in a dream world, holding his arm and not saying a word. Ah look at all the lonely people. ♫ (Many many apologies to Gocomics readers and especially The Beatles.)

    Pretty girl to comply/

    With a thrust at her thigh/

    But he seldom gets past her patella.

    Benjamin and Eleanor Ridgely Laming

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Portrait paintings in the National Gallery of Art" Wikimedia 

    (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 E10782, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly life size painting. Other versions has the strip coloration image.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3184 (September 11, 2023) 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 .jpeg from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 4 works by him have been used here (5 times total, including 1 repeat), the September 10, 2014, strip being the prior (the repeat). GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the new lines in my comment there; but, perhaps the text remains informative.

    /// She looked down and then went into shock.

    He said “Been like this since one o’clock

    in the morning, I think.

    Now past noon, still won’t shrink.

    It’s far more than eight hours— call the Doc!”

    And the “beast” is beginning to burgeon/

    It looks like the artist painted the same face on both bodies. Did Eleanor not show up for the portrait?

    Wishful thinking. It’s not the size of your staff. Or, so I’ve heard.

    Reminds of the line excised from Blazing Saddles when Lili is seducing sheriff Bart. Instead of "It’s twue, it’s twue! after the zipper sfx the original was “Baby, that’s my arm” (or words to that effect).

    Tuesday:He’s il maestro- he never sweats/

    No matter how hot it gets/

    Though Sicilian Summer/

    Is hard on a strummer/

    Still his fingers fly over the frets/

    No composer upsets his composure:

    Can he keep pace with a piccolo? Sure !

    He plays Frescobaldi /

    As well as aVivaldi../

    He brings any concerto to closure…///

    He can play either fast or slow /

    Play Baroque or ornate Rococo/

    But he’s always in hock/

    Cause the whole world wants Rock/

    So he can’t seem to make much dough.
