That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 21, 2024

My original comment: Arthur stopped himself from diving when he thought he saw a zebra in the water.

/// Danton’s out for some fresh air and sun,

and he hopes with Babette to have fun.

Stood there bent— hadn’t jumped,

while his heart wildly thumped.

Just a Bather, or Diver, which one?

Honey> What’s a mime, you didn’t say.

“I could be wrong, but I’m not sure Downward-Dive is a real yoga pose.”

Abigail opted not to join Jacob for a quick dip when she found out his secret swimmin’ hole was immediately downstream from old man Johnson’s pig farm.

Perfect conditions to bring home a brain-eating amoeba or two.

Here as a young man, Jeffrey Epstein could only dream of the pool parties he was planning to have on his island.

“Why does my d#ck look so small when it’s wet?”

Fred asked Millie for a date. She said “go jump in the lake”. He hopes this will help.

Who paints half of a person?

Speedos before they learned they could use less fabric and charge more.

COLD WATER!

Yipes,stripes,beachnuts got ‘em.

The swimming pool was one of the more attractive amenities at Devil’s Island.

He forgot his swim trunks so he just used his pajamas……

“Oh, Great God of the Swimming Pool, we pray to Thee…”

Gotta admire this guy. It’s damm difficult to freeze mid jump to pose for a painting.

More like the lower case “n.”

Other versions shows the strip coloration image. 

Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #2307 (10/15/19) (November 20, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment and reply pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 14 works by him have been used here (20 times total, including this Throwback Thursday, and 5 prior repeats), the October 15, 2019, strip being its first use. The November 11, 2019, strip has his most recent non-repeat.

Young man attempting to spell the letter “x” using his entire body instead of just his index finger.

Silvia seeing his buns, hopes he never dives.

Some comments from October 15, 2019:

BE THIS GUY: Etienne’s dreams of being an Olympic diver were held back because he didn’t know how to swim.

Impkins: That diving judge is really getting just too close! :>)

Strob: No, this is brought to you by Fruit Stripe Gum (“Yipes! Stripes!”)

Papared25: This scene was captured moments before Edward lost his balance and performed a world class bellyflop. He claimed he was pushed, and since he was such a demanding little cuss he was probably right, but the governess swore her innocence on a stack of Harlequin romance novels fully aware that the local priest would give her a couple of “Hail Mary’s” and wish he’d done the same thing.

rmremail: “Aren’t I a little young for a prostate exam?”

Carolyn Saunders: The mental institution attendant was glad George like to play at swimming as it was so quiet in the woods.

Emjeff: One of Bob Ross’ early works…

Serendewi: Doug wondered why no one had thought of just swimming away from the prison dock before….

Another Take: Ok, now for my pre-dive routine: 1- Check that weenie is tucked away to avoid embarrassment. 2- JUMP

Kind&Kinder: Greg Louganis as a boy: should he or shouln’t he?

Running Buffalo: When he said he was head over heels for her, she didn’t understand. So he was going to show her.

Earlier today I wrote a limerick which contains not a single word which would offend the most delicate sensibilities. It was killed by the bot. But I can’t find out what the word was ! It was included the rhyme scheme “ If you’re reading this, it obviously wasn’t one of those words. This “bot crap” will drive me out of Priceless!

His bathing suit isn’t a Speedo./

It belongs to his good friend, G—do/

Who isn’t a Grecian/

But is a Venetian/

So it may have been worn on the Lido…
