That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 17, 2023

The Headless Horseman’s family at home.

So many cheeks, but not a single face.

/// From their posture they aren’t well-bred.

They don’t sit straight, they all sprawl instead.

The newspaper one read

has this message unsaid:

“TRUE AMERICAN Can’t Get a Head.”

People who used illegal Netflix passwords.

the artist who couldn’t paint faces

Sometimes I get feeling I can’t get a head in life.

“The landlord’s here to collect the rent. Who’s got the money?”

They are portrait shy.

The help I get from my brain cells when facing a difficult situation

A gathering of The Friends of Ichabod Crane.

Why facial recognition took so long to develop…

Fido decided it was much easier to pee on a human with no face.

Group Portrait of the Headless Pony Express Riders.

Where’s Waldo?

The first meeting of the Scopophobia Association of America ran into a rather predictable problem.

Talk abour losing your head! Interesting times we live in … Our incompetent President, Guillermo Lasso, facing a political impeachment trial in the National Assembly – which he would probably lose – last night invoked a never-used-before constitutional prerogative ( aptly named the Cross of Death ) in which he could dissolve the Assembly, call for new elections within 6 months, and govern during that time by Presidential dictate.

So for the next 6 months in Ecuador, we’ll be governed by a legislative body less Head of State who not only lost his head, but face, and probably the body of the majority voters.

He’s banking on the people hating the Assembly more than they do him. A dubious bet at best!

Hey, who has the comic section……

Alternate title: Faces Are Super Hard To Paint

Their heads are all in jars in a “Futurama” scene.

The Over the Hill Gang trying to look inconspicuous as the sheriff rode by slowly on his horse.

The local intelligentsia.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3133 (May 17, 2023) 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 pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 3 works by this artist have been used here (4 times total, including 1 repeat), the December 9, 2021, strip being the prior (the repeat). The October 18, 2017, strip has the prior non-repeat.

Apparently, the model’s union is in solidarity with the screenwriter’s guild.

Oh yeah? Let ’em try to call me a two-faced liar now!
