That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 15, 2012

She’s got your number, and a guard lamb, too!

“I’ll make a chop out of you!”

Ewe know why she has that little woolly creature there.

(Yesterday) I’d rather see your avatar (good memories of those days) than all the little kittens and puppies that seem to proliferate lately.

1 scenario is maybe the bf is really into the lamb. another is second base and other naughty bits. dirty thoughts.

(from yesterday) I can’t imagine ceasing to comment somewhere because of someone else’s avatar. That makes no sense to me. Not to mention that any avatar space is so small, most people cannot see details. (Before I asked you about it, I had no idea that it was a weasel he is holding. I thought it was a 50’s ad for a razor or a cigarette…I couldn’t decide which, and I was unfamiliar with the Zappa album cover at the time.)

With all the avatars on this site, why would anyone single out yours and yours alone?That is strange!

The bottom line: I not only have no problem with your avatar, but was just thinking the other day that I hope you never change it (like so many do all the time). I look forward to your comments and they’re easy to find in a long line of comments.

Mary had a little lamb…Her daddy shot it dead…And now she takes her lamb to school…Between two slabs of bread…

Picnic with Shari Lewis

Wow, that’s some epidemic of thick curly hair they all have going there. Bet she (and he) can’t wait for the invention of the “No-no” hair removal tool.

Enlarged image (use browser zoom for more) available from here (last View All Sizes choice).The Hireling Shepherd (click for the painting’s Wikipedia page) is probably described by its current-location (the painting’s page is the title link there); I can’t say for sure because its search engine isn’t working, and rather than pointing to the painting’s page, the title link invokes the search engine. Maybe it’ll start working later in the day.A different coloration, click-to-enlarge image can be found here. Another different coloration image can be found here; but there are many different coloration, or detail, or photoshopped images available online. In addition to the painting’s Wikipedia page, discussions of it can be found here, here, and here, and probably elsewhere. The artist’s WIkipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories).Second of the 4 works by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.

Weasels Ripped My Flesh!

For the record, I’ve always liked your avatar.

He’s relying on The Silence of the Lambs.

Just revisited yesterday’s strip and @corzac posted immediately above you. I can’t see why anyone would have a problem with an album cover.

“That kind of stuff makes me feel bad. Sometimes for up to 5 or 10 minutes.”Best comment yet, although I’m betting it’s more like 5 or 10 seconds.

The shepherd is on the “Hunt”, and he’s reaching for the “fold”.

@Dogsniff – don’t let the b———rds get you down!

Jeez Chri, get over it already. Three months ago I said “Hey how about mixing it up one of these years?” He refused. End of story.This is a comments forum about a clever comic strip. It’s about Steve Melcher. Not dogsniff.

It is indeed described by its current-location page, which has a different coloration image.This work was used earlier in Mr. Melcher’s blog, with a different caption.Another work by this artist can be found here.
