    You were the last one to arrive, so you get the pink chair. That’s the way it works.

    Edward forgot his line again, Thomas is about to throw a chair at him, and Mary is praying for them both.

    For the life of him Charles couldn’t think of a good clue for “Stripes.” Charades had never been his strong suit, and it drove his parents batty.

    Jack, trying to figure out the correct way to tell his parents that he’s dropping out of college and marrying Lucy because he knocked her up. (Lucy is listening at the door to make sure he doesn’t mess it up)

    But no input was given regarding the size of the cup or the strength of the brew. Both factors that affect the answer.

    What a fascinating take on the Prodigal Son! He’s like, “Hmm. Is this really what I want?”

    The parents, having been gone for the weekend, ask Thomas, “Are you the one who put the bathroom mat under the table to cover the wine stains?”

    The Return of the Prodigal Son

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Axel_Kulle_1846-1908-Den_f%C3%B6rlorade_sonens_%C3%A5terkomst.jpg 

    (best viewed by Google Chrome, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this oil on canvas painting.

     

    http://carl.kulturen.com/web/object/92096/REFERENCES/149 

    has sparse Swedish info about this artist (again, Chrome can automatically translate), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. This is a different caption repeat of the only work by him, so far, used here. 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2016/07/07?comments=visible 

    has the prior caption.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2211 (May 28, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.
