That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 26, 2023

My original post in 2018:

Mom wanted to make sure Maria didn’t spill anything on her new dress.

Dr. Frankenstein thought that his new girlfriend was just perfect, but he wanted to cover up the scar on her neck from when he attached the neurosurgeons head to a supermodels body.

/// She is in a bizarre situation,

feeling sick psychedelic sensation.

With all senses awhirl,

she’s half mushroom – half girl,

but which half had the hallucination?

The upside was that she could get SiriusXM for free.

on the plus side, her Frilled Lizard costume won third prize’

This is the story of Debby Debutante who, in her first trial as a sorority pledge, is required to dress as a Daisy and get her petals plucked. Her idealized existence in Barbieland has not prepared her for existence in Stark Reality. It’s a morality tale in the style of “Everyman” as directed by Ingmar Bergman. (—

‘70s fashion – a decade to forget.

And they were Episiotomy stitches.

Katniss Everdeen was too good so they gave her a handicap

Let us get to the heart of the matter:/

(No reason to niggle and natter)/

That garment, my dear,

Rather makes you appear/

Like your head’s being served on a platter!

When the going gets ruff..

They say you can be anything you want to be….and I want to be a flower

If you drop crumbs on the couch one more time, so help me, I will put a collar on you so big it will never happen again!

Bridget got too enthusiastic in her toilet cleaning and walked away with the seat.

She’s jut begging for a pie in the face.

Comedian Noel Fielding has his yearbook picture taken.

To the artist: When you begin seeing mushrooms around your model’s neck, maybe its time to lay off them.

" Mom!!! I am NOT gonna wear this stupid costume to the Halloween Party! AND THAT’S FINAL!! "

Maybe she was just gnawing her paw.

She didn’t want anyone to notice her hickey.

Best hickey defense ever.

Kerry was tired of being called a ‘wallflower’.

Poor Juana posed nude at fifteen/

At which age she was long, lithe and lean/

Over time she’d acquire/

A modest “spare tire “/

But to mention that might be thought mean…

(But fifteen is, quite frankly, obscene!)

"Category:Paintings by Juana Romani" 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 ruffled, 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 also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #1925 (4/5/18) (October 25, 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, only work by her used here (2 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat), the April 5, 2018, strip being its first use.

It looks like a clown outfit

To beat the deadline, Juana had to resort to collage.

Lizbeth needed to cover up when she had her morning coffee and bagel.

“It’s you… Really.”

And again, for some obscure reason, the office had to order coffee filters.

So, she’s not wearing anything under that? Hmm…

For Friday:

They ordered a table for four/

But found dining together a chore:/

One guy was a bore/

One girl was a wh0&€/

And now they’re not friends anymore..///
