    /// This ancestor of Ridgemont’s Spicoli

    also sought “perfect waves”— (something holy).

    Not to surf, to be fair,

    these are waves in his hair,

    and in class he would eat ravioli.

    We’re getting a lot o’ Lorenzo this week!

    I checked out Fast Times at Ridgemont High on imdb, and yeah, this does indeed resemble Sean Penn’s Jeff Spicoli.

    Alas, born centuries too early to hear “you could land a fighter jet on that schnozz”.

    No painter could possibly render/

    A portrayal more touching, more tender/

    Than “Lorenzo the Peerless”/

    (He was utterly fearless !)/

    Of a Renaissance “gender-bender”.

    I thought if wearing the hat on backward was OK, why not my shirt.

    Broccardo Malchiostro, in this portrait, chose

    A stiff, pompous (to our modern eyes) pose.

    And here five hundred years hence, more or less,

    We tend to mock him on ‘That is Priceless’

    Oh, vain young man, whom L. Lotto thus froze!

    I still wear black and white checkered VANS. Although sadly they’re no longer made in California, but in SE Asia.

    Broccardo was having a bad hair day, discovered a zit on his forehead, and was píssed off at his parents cutting his allowance and grounding him ( again) over that little incident with Antonio in the back of the gondola, … and now they want him to pose for this stupid picture!

    Portrait of a Young Man with a Lamp

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Oil lamps in 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 052b, and click its link for info and links that point to more info (perhaps best viewed by the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers, which can automatically translate most webpages if necessary) about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting. 

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3353 (July 10, 2024) 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, 3 works by him have been used here, the July 9, 2024, strip being the prior.

    Although he has conniption fits, about breaking out in zits, do you suppose, he is happy with that nose? Girls rate his appearance the pits!

    Here is a thought perverse, one could make his appearance even worse, give him a Habsburg Jaw, his visage would create awe, and could truly be seen as a curse.

    Somehow, I don’t think this young man with a lamp is gonna bust out with a rendition of You Light Up My Life.
