That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 05, 2024

/// Sailors drawn to Sea Maidens bemoaned:

“Mermaids do not have sex, they are cloned.”

Since their human half halts

half-way down— no assaults.

(Their fish half can’t be easily boned.)

Casting call for The Not-So-Little Mermaid?

Next! (And keep ’em coming….)

Five good reasons the man from Nantucket set sail in a bucket.

Chicken of the Sea changes their can labels to appeal to modern consumers.

They’ve stocked the lake! Get down here quick, Ed. I got my limit in no time.

“Just stand up! – Stand up!”

That sound you hear is the “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” signs being yanked off the door of every establishment within five miles.

Okay, who’s foaming the water?!?

Baby, there’s always room for one more.

The coach was tying everything to get the boys to join the swim team

The girls are wondering what happened to their clothes. They were right here!

They’re practicing doing “the wave”

Three Little Maids from School and two BFFs

School’s out.

It probably won’t come as news/

That the artist had been on a cruise/

Through those Aegean isles/

Where the weather beguiles../

And they offer unlimited booze.

I don’t care if it’s a warm spot, we’re not coming over!

Would this be an inappropriate time to comment on the “Girls Gone Wild”/ Joe Francis scandal allegations currently in the news?

New “Hooters” type girls at Long John Silvers.

Five females, all much to my taste/

Appealing above the waist/

But the trouble begins/

Beware of choosing in haste.

It looks like the girl scout instructors’ semaphore class got carried away and one thing led to another…

The Dionne sisters soon realized that an appearance in Playboy was not giving them the career boost they were hoping for!

Hold that pose… Let me have a closer look.

"Category:Paintings by Evelyn de Morgan" Wikimedia 

(syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Brave 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 Maidens, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this large painting. File history 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 #1530 (9/6/16) (December 4, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 4 works by her have been used here (6 times total, including this Throwback Thursday, and a prior repeat), the September 6, 2016, strip being its first use. GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the new lines in my comment there; but, perhaps the text remains informative. The June 22, 2016, strip has her most recent non-repeat.

go deeper, we will hold on to you, get the treasure and we will buy clothes

I found my women’s water polo team!

Some comments from 9/6/2016 (apparently during / right after the Olympics):

BE THIS GUY: The sailors lost interest when they saw what was below the waist.

ursamaj: Synchronized swimming team at first Olympics. They hadn’t figured out the underwater part yet.

orinoco womble: Something fishy about those ladies ….

J Short: I told you the Russian synchronized swim team was doing steroids.

TheWildSow: ♪♫ ’Cause her hair was green as seaweed

Her skin was blue and pale

Her face it was a work of art,

I loved that girl with all my heart,

But I only liked the upper part

I did not like the tail ♪♫

maltmash3r: When global warming causes flooding in Vegas.

“You seen one, you seen’em all!”

Playboy Playmates swim team- Circa 1887

What is that black fin coming towards us……..
