That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 09, 2024

/// This wise harem girl does more than hope

that the sultan will choose her to grope.

She’d tried acting coquettish,

then learned feet are his fetish,

so she scrubs them with Palmolive Soap.

This princess had a pool built just to soak her foot. She doesn’t know how to swim.

He’s so mean, " don’t come with stinky feet".

“See. I’m so much sexier than that woman sitting on a bidet.”

Despite the sizeable bribe she’d brought, the casting director went with Barbara Eden instead.

Hey Sweetie, have you heard about those little fish that nibble on your toes? Well…………

Exactly who was Steve Melcher down wind of to elicit these choices of late?

The Sultan had posted a rule/

In the harem: “No feet in the pool !”/

Twas a rule she disdained/

With abandon unfeigned:

Now she walks on her ankles – (the fool)…

Fatima was not completely sure

If to get a lovely pedicure

Was better with a loofah

Or a school of Garra Rufa

For Master preferred his wives demure

.

As the fish nibbled at her toes

The sensation put her in the throes

Of a kind of tickle torture

A method sometimes used in her culture

She laughed ‘til tears ran down her nose

.

Unfortunately just then the Master

Happened to be walking past her

He thought poor Fatima laughed at him

And so he acted on his cruel whim

Which was for her a deadly disaster

.

The execution done, the harem trembled

As to whom of those there assembled

Would next be chosen for the ‘honor’

(Or actually, the nearly certain ‘horror’)

Of the girl selected, all faces dissembled

.

‘Scheherazade,’ the name was called

And all the women there were appalled

A favorite, she, a very smart and clever one

It seemed her days alive would soon be done

But her tale would last, the Master long enthralled

For nine hundred and ninety nine nights/

She’s a Garden of Earthly Delights/

Then the Sultan discovers/

She’s been taking new lovers/

And campaigning for women’s rights…

Thats so nice. It comes with batteries too?

she’s cute

“Hey, when it’s a choice of either hawking soap or cigarettes, at the end of the day, which would you choose?”

“Yeah? I’m fantasizing about you too, Big Boy!”

“Sincere, (yet incredibly hot !) Ukrainian beauties looking for true love with American men over eighty !”

Piranha get all excited by blood / injured fish. They don’t go around just attacking any flesh they see in the water.

I still wouldn’t put my foot in there :^)…

“You really are truly, absolutely the MOST fascinating portrait artist I’ve ever met in my LIFE!”

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3389 (October 9, 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 .jpg from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the info I found about the company that I used to point to here. So far, only work by that company used here, AFAIK, though it may be the same company that produced the September 30, 2024, strip (same head in 1900), under a different name.

You know those places where you sit in a pool and tiny fish exfoliate you by nibbling off the dead skin? This ain’t one of those pools.

What’s that in her lap?

“That’s so fascinating. And how many years do I have to pay into the timeshare?”

What was that song you were singing?

You put your left foot in … then what?

Pity that the artist is anonymous. Like so many talented employees of the Disney studio, whose identities are not revealed to (most of) the fans of even their most widely recognized creations.
