That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 02, 2018

Nice hat.

That’s just wrong!

“I demand you surcease this vile enchantment and turn me back into a man!”

Sometimes, you got this strange feeling that you forgot something but can’t put your finger on it…

Circe worked up the act after she got tired of waiting for guys to come to her—after all, there’s more to life than sailors!

Ho hum, another cat and pig act. Wait a minute…

That’ll teach the pig to eat my clothes

What Woodstock looked like to those that ate the brown acid.

Hitchhiking was a cinch for Beatrice, once she figured out how to dress appropriately.

The carnival pig ride used to be my favorite.

New meaning to Sadie Hawkins Day.

Swine Before Pearls?

Minnie Pearl – The Early Years.

Seriously, Steve, every time I open this page, I have to check out the window to make sure the FCC hasn’t sent a drone or something.

A lady should NEVER go out without her hat.

I can’t believe that this is the only way you can get free range bacon.

Hah! The AGT reference was very apt…. some of the stuff that DOES get on that show…. insane.

After watching the pig run away for the tenth time, Erica had to decide whether her career with the village out-call service was worth it.

both have info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. This is the first work by him used here.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1986 (July 1, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

Viivi and Wagner by the original artist.

“You can keep your hat on…”

Viivi and Wagner go for a stroll…..

Performance Art..the early years.

Julio has been in the Peyote again! Artists should not indulge whilst painting!

Looking at the enlarged version, that’s a cat on the pig’s back. That’s about the weirdest thing I’ve seen since I saw a pic from a wildlife camera that showed a raccoon riding on a wild pig. So:

“Wilbur discovered why it was not a good idea to stick his head in the box with Mehitabel and her kittens.

Is it hot out here or is it just me?

The act wasn’t bringing in enough revenue – so they added the pig and cat.

The pig, not lisa was running around in circles

Oh, my head…What am I even looking at?!?

I thought that ‘LCD flashback’ thing was just an urban legend.
