    Candaules liked to show off what he thought was his, but the Queen was her own woman and would get her revenge for this dishonor.

    /// King Candaules thought none would believe

    how his wife looked when naked as Eve.

    He told Gyges, “Her beauty

    must be seen; it’s your duty.”

    But she woke before Gyges could leave.

    /// G. was summoned next day by the Queen.

    “Vile voyeur, you must now choose between

    suicide (for your sin),

    or do Candaules in.”

    So he skewered the King through the spleen.

    This slave girl is half off because she spends all her time sleeping. But the price is only half off because she sleeps in the nude.

    This is a one-owner concubine, low mileage with lots of extras. Previous owner was an 85 year old Sultan who only took her to ceremonies and state dinners. I can get you a one year same as cash deal and throw in the couch. But you need to make a decision now. I’ve got a shah and a bit coin magnate I’m showing to tomorrow. They don’t call me Sweet Deal Larry, King of the trade ins for nothing!

    Prince Clarence was a bit slow. The King had to finally resort to visual aids to teach him the “facts of life”

    His wife’s in amazing condition:/

    She looks great in any position !/

    He’s displayed her to friends/

    And now he intends/

    To expand – and start charging admission…

    He attempted to charge admission/

    But neglected to ask her permission/

    So she found someone new/

    Who ran the King through/

    And assumed the King’s former position///

    So in the event you’re made King/

    (Who knows what your future may bring?)/

    Be sure to take care/

    That the royal derrière/

    Remains a mysterious thing.

    The King was known for giving the best Christmas presents, much to the Queen’s dismay!

    Santa misunderstood my request. I asked him for a pretty female dog, but I used that other word, and I woke up to find this under my tree. She just sleeps all day and when she wakes she yells at me constantly, but, look at her!

    Was Frederic Moench teased as a child by other boys calling him Butt Moench? I bet he was.

    The Wife of King Candaules

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Charles-Victoire-Frederic Moench" site=commons.wikimedia.org 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Yahoo, Bing, Duckduckgo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and click the first Category: found, and once there, search for the Wife text string, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #1773 (9/5/17) (December 14, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here (2 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat), the September 5, 2017, strip being its first use.

    /// Candaulism’s a sexual fetish,

    where a girl is displayed as coquettish

    for her male partner’s pleasure.

    Other men view his “treasure”

    and those voyeurs will render him wettish.
