That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 06, 2025

Wedding crashers.

/// At his fourth daughter’s nuptials, the host

is raised up to give his Wedding Toast.

Father of the new bride

glows with vodka and pride

and can boast he’s no drunker than most.

According to an old family story thatijustmadeup: The wedding reception of Walter and Sophie was briefly disturbed by a minor scandal. After a drunken struggle, Uncle Stanislaus was carted off to jail. It was HE ‘Who Stole the Kishka’!

The incident was later immortalized in a popular polka song. According to Wikipedia, “It has been recorded and performed by various bands. One popular version was familiar to American radio audiences from a 1963 recording by the Grammy award–winning polka artist Frankie Yankovic.”

After a fifth of bourbon, Wallace’s rendition of “Staying Alive” brought down the house!

Or at the very least a chair and several decorations.

In their earliest years, The BeeGees were a larger group, working weddings and Bar Mitzvahs.

And then spends the honeymoon in traction?

Yep, that’s a Polish wedding, all right.

Bring an empty champagne bucket, quickly. The fattest male relative looks ready to toss himself.

Even enlarging this, I can’t really make out what is going on.

File history has strip coloration image. 

Again, a larger strip image (though less sharp than at WC) is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTER PIECE #2356 (1/7/20) (February 5, 2025) 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. So far, only work by him used here (2 times total, including this THROWBACK THURSDAY repeat), the January 7, 2020, strip being its first use.

It’s symbology: the groom is going to be supporting his new father-in-law for the rest of his life.

“OK. Who told the band the bar was complimentry!?!”

From the look on the groom’s face, the bride might be suggesting sneaking out and getting a head start on the honeymoon.

And the best man would toss his cookies.

……And the band plated on!!
