   Again, for those who use the DuckDuckGo search engine, had I chosen to search for

   "Category:People with accordions" Wikimedia

   instead of what I chose (which it currently doesn’t find), it would have found that.

   Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3466 (February 24, 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 .jpg from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 11 works by him have been used here (12 times, including a different caption repeat), the February 21, 2025, strip being the prior.

   Mr. Melcher tried to run this as the 2/19 strip (you replied to his comment there); but, the different caption repeat remains there. So, he ran it here. Sol had made an earlier comment that this had already been in the blog as Masterpiece #3464 back on 2/19. Guessing you looked at it then, or maybe you followed the last part of my 2/19 comment which points to what my above comment points to as well.

   You were right. The Knight painting was indeed used for the 2/24 strip.

    What shows here now is a different caption repeat of the June 28, 2024, strip. Other than some of the search engines I say to use in my comment there no longer work (they find the Wikipedia instead of the Wikimedia Category first, at least one doesn’t find the correct one at all), you can use a search engine that does abide by that comment to find info about the artwork. 

    If the strip now shows the Daniel Ridgway Knight artwork,
