That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 20, 2022

The reason France got rid of the monarchy.

Inspiration for Mr. Potato Head

Is that brown stuff on his face a beard or did he fall into the chocolate fountain again?

the turtle neck was perfect for hiding his hickies!

“I’m too sexy for my hair…”

/// The Duke’s barber proceeded to drape

o’er his torso a gray barber’s cape.

Round Duke’s neck he then wound

some black paper he’d found,

Which protected from larynx to nape.

/// But, the Duke isn’t there to be shaved.

And a haircut he also had waived.

The Duke told him to place

phony hair on his face

to disguise him. (The Duke misbehaved.)

/// Fake mustache and long sideburns are viewed

under three separate wigs, oddly skewed.

But no one would be fooled,

for the spirit gum cooled

and both Duke and disguise came unglued.

listen, I just heard a story guaranteed to curl your hair!

Nuthin makes you puke like a close-up of the Duke in the mor-or-ornin’…

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that Ing(res).

The Princess Leia buns were meant to distract from the cleft chin.

Not one of Ferdinand’s better ideas.

He’s the witch-queen….of New Orleans

Philboyd Studge was a pampered Mommy’s Boy. Even at the age of 29, whenever he had the slightest hint of sniffles, his mother slathered Vicks VapoRub® on his chest and put him right to bed, swaddling him up in a draft-free room. He was allowed to eat only unsalted soda crackers and drink Saki.

Wow, real man buns.

This here is a portrait by Ingres/

Who was known for hilarious “zingres”/

Though famed for his wit/

(And for painting a bit)/

He could only count on his “fingres”.

I wonder how many “likes” he gets on facebook?

After a long day of posturing in his stiff red uniform, the Duc loves getting into his Snuggie with some Sleepy Time Tea.

Alphonse Aloysius Von Thrope / Had a face with which no one could cope. / When the gal he loved said, / “Let’s be pen pals instead.” / He knew then he must live without Hope.

John completely revamped his match.com profile, everything except the photo, and could not figure out why he still never receives any date offers.

Sir Chadwick Twit-Spittle, hairdresser to Beau Brummell, later destroyed his own career when he went completely mad and suggested the single “man bun”.

Must be a direct ancestor of Adam Schiff.

WORST. NECK. BEARD. EVER!

A young Vincent Price auditioning for the role of a rich eccentric weirdo!

Under that drape, he’s wearing the golden bikini.

Some dudes yearbook photo.

Keanu Reeves before breakfast. :)

The Duc d’Orléans:

has info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting. In the 10 years since it was first used here, its attribution has changed. It is now attributed to a student of Ingres.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #700 (10/24/11) (October 19, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. So far, 14 works by this artist have been used here (18 times total, including this Throwback Thursday and prior repeats), the September 14, 2012, strip being its first use (the 18 hyperlinks in my comment there have been deactivated, and the line breaks removed, but perhaps the text remains informative). The August 12, 2021, strip is the prior non-repeat by him.

“Helmet hair? What’s that?”

If you’re hoping to date the Duc/

I’m afraid you are $h1t outta luck/

For the Duc, although loathed/

Is already betrothed ! /

Now doesn’t that simply suck ?

Hunter Biden, thinking what he will look like when daddy became president.

The painter is humming to himself “I like long necks, and I cannot lie”

For Friday:

He’s been reading over her shoulder/

And her ire is beginning to smolder/

He’d best get off her back/

And cut her some slack/

Or his sack time may soon grow much colder.
