That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 14, 2025

Hoof Hearted?

/// Two young Pages attend The Great Lady.

Both are nervous and each is afraid he

will, by chance, drop her train

and not be seen again.

(When she’s angered she’ll do something shady.)

Page 1 – did she say a LITTLE??

Page 2 – I think she meant WAVE THAT THING TIL THE COWS COME HOME!!

The Court Jesters wife must have a lot of influence.

How suicide jumps were prevented in the Dark Ages.

Young women discover at a certain age

That their looks can rattle a young man’s cage

Their figures blossom like an opening flower

And release the pheromone of their Wow power

To cause the male body hormones to then rage

.

This flower of youth invites pollination

And thus each nation does increase population

The rose arisen loses petals and produces

Dried fertile seeds where once were juices

Are the rose hips less worthy of adulation?

Perhaps “A Great Lady” is what every first-born young lady fancies herself to be … for instance, Zoe MacPherson in the comic “Baby Blues”, who occasionally appears as “Princess High ‘n’ Mighty Big-Shot Told-You-So Boss of the World".

File history has strip coloration image. 

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3461 (February 14, 2025) 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 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 (15 times, including 1 repeat), the January 21, 2025, strip being the prior.

FLAP?!! No way Lady, it’s the only thing between me and your gassy self-expression!

“I lied and told my family that I work on a train.”

“I told my family that I’m the man behind the Queen.”

Oh. I get it. Queen of Farts. Not Queen of Hearts. :)

Milady is putting on airs/

Her intestinal gases she shares/

They wish she’d abstain/

And they’d ought to complain/

But none of her servants dares..

When you are so rich that your cloak has its own personal attendants.

“Are you certain we get college credit for this?”

Milady is putting out air/

But the servants don’t really care:

For the wind’s at their back/

So today’s fart attack/

Is one that she can’t really share..

Let her believe it was gas.

Silly humans is not a new thing…

Milady has dined on beans./

(She’s been told they’re the nectar of Queens..)/

But she’s wearing a thong/

And something’s gone wrong:/

One hopes she’s not staining her jeans ..

flipity flapaty, fresh air

the queen is just waiting for the boys to lift her dress and defile her.

fleur-de-lis’s give me fart-de-lis

Seems a bit overkill just to check the mailbox

I went to a burial where they put down some fuzzy green cloth to cover the bare earth around the grave—this looks just like that.

“I do not know where Kansas is…tell me, is it a civilized country?”

Heads up Silent But Deadly coming through.

Pageboy on the left looking at her – “Oh look at me. I’m so special. Ain’t I’m wonderful?”

“Oh good, here come those men wearing those funny hats with tassels and driving those little cars.”

Hey Lady – your tag is out in the back!

Pageboy two: I’d rather lift her skirt for a better view…….

But her best ones are when it flaps itself.
