Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
There are things I don’t understand about the French. Why are there a bunch of well dressed men standing around watching this procedure? Why would anyone paint this picture?
I also thought that was a very tall horse, but then I saw the painting was by Toulouse-Lau-Trec. He probably painted those people as if they were about his height (4’8").
Plus, if (even a rookie) one is stupid enough (and uncaring enough for the animal’s internals) to leave one’s watch on while doing such, one deserves to lose one’s watch.
Hopefully the animal can reject the watch without complications…

Again, a slightly larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #1503 (7/29/16) (September 13, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there 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 Throwback Thursday), the July 29, 2016, 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. The August 6, 2013, strip has the prior by him.

/// Count Alphonse and his horse-racing staff
dye this animal’s coat brown, and laugh.
Longest legs win the race,
so they plan to replace
his brown horse with this short-necked giraffe.

If you’re ever going to look at a horse’s rear end, go deep into the forest first.

I’m pretty sure you are not getting a colt. I’d get a shovel if I were you.
