That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 28, 2022

“Thanks. I promise I’ll tip you when you roll me back up and take me home in the morning.”

/// Youthful Queen stands before Roman geezer.

They’re, of course, Cleopatra and Cæsar.

Julius sees her. He yearns

to induce carpet burns

on bare flesh. Then she let Julius seize her.

Sure glad I am not performing in the Super bowl!

“This guy is my carpet munch… er…cleaner.”

Finally! A woman who you can flirt with without having it end badly.

And you’ve traded your box for what’s behind Tapestry #1 . . .

Look at what you’ve won!

Hey big boy! Wanna shag on my carpet? Just how big is your beaver cleaver?

When we redo the house, I want to get the new carpet from that place!

Empire brand carpets had more meaning in the Roman Empire.

Mystery solved: How she got a hickey on her upper thigh.

“Down boy. You’ll get your chance later.”

When Cleo got Caesar’s call/Her carpet was wall-to-wall/And therefore, we’re told/she had herself rolled/In a “throw rug” – and came after all !

The outfit she wore that day/Proves she left without any delay/He was taken aback/At the sight of her rack/(‘Tis said that he hollered “Hooray!”)///

Cynics (rascals like you and me)/Suspect that “a girl such as she”/Prob’ly gave it a try/With that muscular guy/In those tedious hours at sea…///

When Caesar went “under the knife”/And the empire with chaos grew rife/It just can’t be denied/That she chose the wrong side/But she (cleverly?) took her own life.

Cleo’s love letters.

As Octavius much later said, “Cleopatra was just asping for it…”

Oh, that time when Caesar was a family name and not a job title.

DIRECTOR: Lights! Camera! Wait…what’s Long Don Silver doing? You don’t come in yet!

LONG: That’s what she said!

DIRECTOR: CUT! I shoulda finished film school…

She came; he saw; she conquered.

I see your “headlights” are showing. Is it too cold in here?

Pizza! Pizza!

“And watch! Once I cover her with this rug, she will disappear! As will I, and most of your money.”

Cleopatra reveals for Caesar the newest Victoria’s Secret peek-a-boob bra.

“Let’s start a Little Caesar to get back at Domino’s for screwing up my plan.”

Ahmed is about to get his nose out of joint.

“Hey, lady! Did you know your bosoms were hanging out?”

Dear wife, I cannot be too careful. You know he is just my food taster.

I have added a comment there again pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. So far 26 works, by this artist, have been used here. The April 18, 2022, strip has the prior.

She thought they would pass any test/

She exposed them at Caesars behest./

Though he seemed to be pleased/

Caesar wasn’t quite seized/

Since Calpurnia’s breasts were still best..

Oh don’t mind him Caesar, I keep as a pinch hitter just in case!

Celo was a cross dresser and employed a ’fluffer" ’ to keep him going.

new bra , keeps them “perky”

Be that as it may, I’m yours…..

Oh, don’t worry about the delivery boy … he’s a eunuch … and sadly his tongue was cut out, too. But I am a princess of an old, old civilization… we’ve had time to create the most interesting sex toys and games…

Unfinished effort from Monday @ 12 p.mm:

Cleopatra’s a “rugged” girl !/

She’s giving a voyage a whirl/

In a carpet she travels/

And when it unravels/

She emerges as fresh as a pearl///

Though Cairo is Cleo’s home/

She’s decided to visit Rome/

And to dally with Caesar/

(He’s a bit of a geezer)/

and to visit the Hippodrome///

Many folks would be taken aback/

As it seems she’s forgotten to pack/

Some cute lingerie -/

Hence this shocking display:/

She’s exposing her naked rack !///

Jean-Leon Gerome sure knew how to paint and sculpt using his strengths. Clothing was not one of them.

Before magicians decided on pulling a rabbit out of a hat, they experimented with pulling a woman out of a rug.

Uhhhh Domino’s? Isn’t old Jules cheating on his contract for that OTHER pizza company?
