That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 12, 2015

Third date, cello?

Renfair nightmares.

“Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?”

Man realizing he probably should have dated the organist.

That’s the trouble with layering your clothes, you get that shoulder pad build-up.

A somewhat enlarged image can be found at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (yesterday). Again, it is a cropped image. A full, slightly-different-coloration, larger image can be found here.Fair Is My Love isn’t, as far as I can tell, currently shown online by its current-location; but, a different coloration image is shown by a companion webpage.A short description can be found in a page (and footnote here) of an online book. Another different coloration image can be found here. The artist’s Wikipedia page and collection.First work, by this artist, to appear here.P.S. At the start of the month, I mentioned it was the 1,000th strip. In another perhaps milestone, this marks the 500th artist to be featured by Mr. Melcher, in this comic strip. This has a few other artist statistics.

She’s doing an old Janis Joplin tune, “Well down on me…”

It’s a lute, a mandolin is smaller with a different string arrangement.

" But I told her…no strings "

I’ve got a few strings down my neck…..

“Hmm…something’s missing…damn! I forgot my bongos!”
