That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 16, 2011

It’s supposed to be an unlisted seashell.

ROFLMSS! Bullseye Mssr Melcher!

For a good time dial 1-976-SEA-SHELL

Our naiads are waiting for you to call.

She looks more intrigued than annoyed, though…

Can you hear me NOW?

Comment breast left ignored.

Oh, look – classy, 19th-century, French porn.

She sells seashells…

Outstanding link. Thank you for providing it. Both beautiful and informative.

Must’ve been a little nipply at the shore that day.

Echoing Bluskies—Amazing art!! Thanks for the link!!

@BlueWavesWell spotted. I was wondering if that was a Smartshell.She seems to be having an issue with coverage.

Having a shellphone is better than relying on snail mail. Especially if it can access the World Wide Wet. It’s not so fun when the net is down or you’re hit by spam whales and phishing schemes.

“Are you sure this is the proper training for the shotput?”

Those damn telemarketers always call at the WORST times!

Well, at least no one has made any “3 seashell” comments.

“Does this shell make me look fat?”

William-Adolphe Bouguereau, has this plus many more (starting from the 1st link).

She sells seashells by the seashore and causes drift “wood.”

Beautiful work, thank you so much for sharing.

Re Bouguereau:After checking Baslim’s link, I’ll admit the guy’s got mad skills, and an eye for pretty girls, but really, a lot of it seems like Cheesecake classed up with mythological/allegorical themes.

Getting so I hardly bother trying to read the comments when I use to read them (at dawn- about 12 hours ago). Yesterday and today I kept getting directed to games :-((

“Hold on… Let me adjust my webcam…”

almost swallowed my fork. kkkkkkkrrk…

Thanks for that link!I was also taken by how lovely this image is. How did he get that glowing skin tone?

First I learn about J.W. Godward, now Bouguereau- who says comics cant be culturally uplifting.

terrifi link! Bouguereau is finally regaining his rightfulplace among painters. INCREDIBLE technique!

For reasons known only to @Baslim the begger, he has removed all his comments from this strip.Perhaps this or one of the links in the artist/teacher’s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page has more) and collection (many more under Subcategories at each level) has/is the (phantom) link referred to in comments above.First, of the at least 3 (for some reason, this isn’t in the list today, perhaps others won’t be in the future) works, by this artist, that has, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.

This strip is repeated here.

For some reason, I thought she holding up a piece of crumpled paper. My bad.

I didn’t know that women shaved themselves back then. Legs, yeah. Armpits, yeah. But not elsewhere.
