That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 21, 2019

All the girls were mad at each other for wearing the same dress.

The upcoming feminist army in training.

“A large crowd of admirers gathered at the first convention of Shirley Temple. Here we see them practicing some dance steps.”

First row has 14 girls in it, and the column looks to be about 8 deep, so yep, 112 of them.

All singing 112 bottles of wine on the wall, 112 bottles of wine,Take one down, pass it around, 111 bottles of wine on the wall…

Of course, its more likely they are doing rounds on Frére Jacques.

The Rocket’s School of Dance -Class of 1884

“Seventy-six trombones led the big parade, with a hundred and ten cornets right behind…”

The Stepford Daughters…?

Randy Newman, about to feel a world of hurt.

“And the smallest of all was Madeleine.”

Mon Dieu, Maman – they really ARE drafting us ! The casualties at the Marne must be horrible !

You really need to be careful to get the dose just right with those fertility drugs.

One singular sensation, every little step she takes……

And the parents saw only their own daughter.

In France, having a few children out of wedlock does not preclude you from seeking public office. In fact, the people find it charming when they show up to support you at your political rallies.

“Time to crush grapes! You’re wearing your Sunday best. Now let’s march! Left right LEFT. Left right LEFT. Left right LEFT.”

“We’re marching, marching to Shibboleth, With the Eagle and the Sword!”

So here’s some stuff about where the slightly altered quote comes from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeline. As for the artist, the Wiki article at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Verhas is pretty good, and we’re in luck; there’s a nice long paragraph in there about this painting. Turns out there was a massive parade to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Leopold and Queen Marie-Henriette of Belgium. They pulled in kids from all over the country to be in the parade.

Alright gentlemen, here is this year’s selection of virgin brides. Bidding will start at noon at the ballroom. Have your cash ready.

Honneur to Miss Finkelstein/ who raised her platoon on wine/ their “tight” formation/ won admiration/ as they marched to the Maginot Line

Can’t beat Steve Melcher today — very clever.

A march on Mattel protesting the unrealistic body of Barbie…

Looks like they are marching for the women’s vote! There are only men on the sidelines.

You’re never too young to march for women’s rights.

Julia was the only one in her Karate class to earn the coveted Black Belt.

Mxrpct felt certain that the Martian Mavern Militia would never find her concealed amongst all these look-a-like earthling children. She DID worry that the glow from her larvae sac might give her away…

WE WANT THE RIGHT TO VOTE! When do we want it? TEN YEARS FROM NOW!

“Okay, class? CLA-ASS! We’re going into the museum now. No running, no pointing at the nude David.”

Les “Hors de Combat”, the legendary drill team of the French Army’s “camp-followers” .

The first recorded flash mob was a big flop.

As if the parade wasn’t boring enough, each school had to pause for hours for their painting to be taken.

King Leopold had hoped to impress his new bride, Marie-Henriette with the parade of beautiful children. Unfortunately, she was a staunch proponent of zero population growth.

Grand parade of the little girls that will become "ladies of the night, getting used to tromping the streets.

The Little Rockettes: A Prelogue

The painting shows 14 across, not 22. 14 across will divide evenly into 112; 22 won’t. Getting the math right doesn’t disrupt the rhythm of the doggerel
