That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 12, 2022

“If Geppetto can bring to life a little boy, why can’t I do it with a full grown woman?”

/// His Favorite Model, a dummy,

with which Weir was getting too chummy,

could be posed as the Queen

in positions obscene,

but he fears “she” could not love a rummy.

“I’m dancing with a dummy.” Says the dummy.

John had finally invented a dancing Automaton! Now, men who were too embarrassed to admit that they didn’t know how to dance would no longer be trapped in a cycle of depression and rejection, unable to get a date.

I know robots are making their way into every industry, but I didn’t think that they would be replacing artist’s models so soon.

Marsha’s feeling a little stiff tonight.

when Ernesto heard that she was a real doll, he never imagined he she took them literally…

“A Touch of Venus”, the stage musical.

A blind man could tell at a glance/

That he never will teach her to dance./

She ignores his advances/

with ludicrous stances/

and she always seems lost in a trance.///

He thought, from the cock of her head/

That she might be in Tigris in bed../

Twas a prospect auspicious/

But now he’s suspicious/

That she’s either a dummy- or dead.

He’s glad that he waited, instead/

Of hastily rushing to wed/

For the cost of divorce/

Is so often the source/

Of impoverishment- (or so it’s said.)///

John was the master of kinky.

Hey, you too would feel vulnerable if you had a stick up your butt like that.

I am robot – hear me roar….

Dance class for really, really shy guys.

They fell in love by accident.

I believe that robot was the prototype for the movie ‘I,Robot’. Just after this painting was unveiled, Will Smith came out of the audience and slapped the sh*t out of the artist.

she never refuses a dance…

I want to thank my costume design team.

You guys are going to snicker, but a painter’s dummy like that was literally called a “lay figure.”

Weir and his lay figure compare morning wood.

Step 1 in Determining if You are Ugly: Do you have an artificial girlfriend who can’t even look at you?

Bob Cummings preparing to film the pilot episode for “My Living Doll.” Now all they need to do is convince Julie Newmar to join the cast.

Even with no caption or comments, that would be my favorite painting I’ve seen in TIP. I wonder if the artist was into the shrooms.

With his training robot finally completed, Franklin was sure that, with enough practice, he would never again lose a match of Thumb War.

He thought, if she were only made of more pliable material…oh not to be!

Fergie was always a bit of an oddball – even for an artist. He was known for taking liberties with his models because he knew that they’d never utter a complaint against him.

Early commercial for “Depends”.

Weir was weird! He was also too cheap to hire a live model!

“A SKIRT, John, I need a skirt! And I’m not sure I like where this mounting post is entering….”

CP3O before the gold tan!

I’m having trouble getting GoComics to load fully. I can see the comments, but none of the actual panels appear. Is anyone else having such an issue? I’ve restarted twice, so do I have a settings issue?

Other versions has the strip coloration image.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2911 (April 12, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by him used here.

She was reluctant to introduce him to her parents. They expected her to marry a dummy, but he was in an altogether different class.

Pierre staging his model so it will be easy to do at bedtime, life is short enough having spontaneous sex or so it seems.

Th Cover of “Dancing for Dummies”.

While the premise was good, and the director was all for it; money was hard to come by. It took 102 years for Mannequin to finally be released.

a NAKED crash test dummy!
