That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 25, 2019

David taking credit for what the guy with a slingshot on the grassy knoll did.

You should’ve seen the one that got away.

I was competing in the target shooting and this is my prize.

Hey, I’m no philistine, but this guy was just plain ugly!

Share it, yeah right, but not to the extent of giving it to someone else!!

Oh, man. It turns out that he wasn’t called Goliath because of his size. This guy has a helluva nasty body odor.

“No, I didn’t ‘kiss him to death.’ The rock just happened to look like lips.”

“And this, Maurice, is how to get a head in this cruel world.”

Never mind, just bring me a cup of hot fat. And the head of Alfredo Garcia while you’re at it.

he should have quit while he was ahead

“This is NOT what I was planning on when they said that if I stuck to my job that I’d get ahead…”

Back in the day, Rock, Scissors, Paper was a serious game.

“Is this the right brain, Master ?”

“If you can keep your head, when all about you/ are losing theirs, and blaming it on you…” (Kipling)

Can I speak with the manager? I was told if this didn’t fit I could return it.

Hey Leo. Can I borrow Travis’s jar?

This’ll look great over the fireplace.

One way to cure a headache….

all have info, or maybe links with more 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; but, some may remember its prior use, with a different caption:

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2145 (February 24, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

From the merchandise stand after the concert by Bighead Todd and the Monsters.

You told me to get ahead.

“I want to thank the Academy for this award. I didn’t know they’d changed the Oscar design.”

Poor Goliath had to suffer the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” at the hands of that little schmuck, David. Losing his head “was the unkindest cut of all”.

The things they get up to at university……

Of course it’s interesting that a Middle-Eastern Shepherd boy is depicted as a muscular, fair-skinned, redheaded European youth! "From the same folks that brought you the Blonde, Nordic-looking “Surfer Jesus”!

not because of lack of good looks, David, could never get enough head.

Who knew ? There really WAS an “Alfredo Garcia” !

“No, I didn’t do him in while he was asleep. His eyelids closed when I knocked him out with a stone and remained closed after I detached his head from the rest of his body. Next question? Yes, you from CNN.”

That’s David? I didn’t recognize him in the robe.
