That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 03, 2023

The school headmaster was prepared wack the artist’s knuckles if he wasn’t satisfied with the portrait.

/// The resemblance we see here is plain

to Dwight Schrute, (who had been played by Rainn

Wilson), or else he

looks something like Kelsey

Grammer, (best known as Doc Frasier Crane).

While white-collar pillaging was certainly much easier, Olaf still missed the joy of swinging his battle ax.

Dwight Schrute’s great grandfather will whack anyone with his stick if they put his stapler in jello.

The full moon is waning, so he’s coming back to normal.

Red Skeleton’s Great-Granddad.

Good one! As I was scrolling down, before getting to the caption, I thought “Rainn Wilson”.

When Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (famous Norwegian author who won a Nobel Prize) got Writer’s Block, it definitely was not a good time to take his photo or paint his portrait.

Humorous bit within the Wikipedia article: When Norway was attempting to dissolve the forced union with Sweden, Bjørnson sent a telegram to the Norwegian Prime minister stating, “Now is the time to unite.” The minister replied, “Now is the time to shut up.”

He looks like Kelsey Grammer.

Dwight was the first person I thought of when I saw this. Excellent.

After his rescue from Gilligan’s island, the Skipper found success as a guidance counselor at an all-boys school.

Another great moment in phallic portraiture …… C’mon, Someone had to say it!

Now, Emily, I’ve forgotten whose turn it is to get spanked, so it’s your choice.

“I’ve got out my $hit stick. Let’s see what we can stir up.”

The most important victim of the coiffeurs and barbers‘ strike :

He exudes a dignified air/

And he radiates force with his stare/

But it all comes to naught/

Though he tries (as he ought)/

For he cannot control his own hair..///

He’s finding it hard to bear/

But his barber just isn’t there;/

That wretch, once despised/

Has now unionized /

And left him alone in the chair..

I thought it was Dr Emmit Smith’s father.

Jim Henson’s neighbor after hearing what he was the model for.

Schrute is Norwegian, right?

I don’t get this one at all.

What is a “Schrute”, anyhow?

Nuthin’s as hirsute as a schrute who’s resolute in the mor-ornin’..

H0rny Bj0rne, the fjonicator of the fjords.

“It’s not representative of anything, Melcher, if you know what’s good for you.”

School Principal Gideon Spankmore-Barebottem was a firm advocate of never sparing his rod when disciplining one of his students.

“And just what do we have here?”

“Yes I’m having a bad hair day, so what?”

kinda looks like Garrison Keillor

“The crop? Oh, that’s in case I don’t like the painting.”

My name is Bjørn Bjørnson, I come from Wiscønsin…

I walk loudly and carry a small stick…….

The object he has in his hand/

I’ve been given to understand/

Is called a baton/

Which he carries upon/

Those days when he’s leading a band.///

Those occasions on which he has played/

(Though conducting is not his main trade)/

It’s frequently said/

Any group that he led/

Left Sgt.Pepper’s bunch in the shade…///

Or tuba’s deep thundering toot/

Or the reeds and the strings/

Or a number of things/

He becomes just a dude in a suit.

I don’t know what he’s planning on doing with that stick, but I’ll bet it’s gonna leave a mark. :)

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3197 (October 3, 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 .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 2 works by him have been used here, the July 17, 2023, strip being the prior.

I will now demonstrate how to shove it up your a$$.

Thorazine was not enough to curb his nasty thoughts, so he used the stick to hit his palm.

Bears, beets, and Battlestar Galactica

Yes, I have heard of static electricity! So?

I think he looks like Drew Carey.
