That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 21, 2024

Petteri died without telling his wife or daughter his ATM PIN.

/// When a Séance is Spiritualistic,

reaching out to the dead should be mystic.

But these women are bored

by their lame Ouija Board;

they can’t read and the ghost’s non-linguistic.

/// Two hands’ fingertips graze the planchette,

but they don’t have the hang of it yet.

As it skitters around,

it “says” nothing profound.

Is the spirit they reached named Tourette?

“Oh geez, we contact someone from beyond and it’s just Aunt May asking how her cat is.”

i’m not moving the planchette, are you moving the planchette?

Seem like one of our friends has been banned from GoComics. Like Stalinist USSR, all evidence of his existence has been erased.

Sister, kindly get your fingers off of the last thin mint!

What’s wrong with the 49’ers?

The two sisters soon became ouija bored, and ghosted their spirit contact.

Getting an old-timey dial tone….

“This is not the night I expected, Peggy. I really thought you said ‘weed’”.

Worst game of tiddlywinks- EVER!

Darn! They banned @Solstice1947

Solstice1947, a poet,

Was banned by GC, wouldn’t you know it.

His harmless remarks,

very little angst sparks,

So take your nannybot and just blow it.

How you know that the artist needs glasses

must be European football; they look bored.

“Where the devil did I leave my glasses THIS time?”

Grandma, ever the prankster, stipulated in her will a contest of whoever had their hand on the golden bracelet last would win it.

Did you ever have one of those days where everything just seems a little warped?

“Ok, let’s try to focus here.”

The excitement was palpable as the Schweinebraten sisters attacked the ouija board with a fury equalled only by their notoriously violent approach to Scrabble !

When you’re trying to contact the dead/

And you think you are forging ahead/

And your sister assists/

And you wear out your wrists/

But you get a wrong number instead…

Two That is Priceless fans attempting to conjure up the ghost of Solstice1947.

Release our likable limerick loving poet from his GC exile.

FREE Solstice1947!!!!

“This can’t be how you’re supposed to play air hockey. Let’s look up a YouTube tutorial.”

You know you have problems when even the ghosts ghost you.

Reading the instructions on board game night before and after too much beer.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3274 (February 21, 2024) 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 info about this artist I used to point to here. Only work by him used here so far.

UGH!

“A Spiritualistic Séance,” 1921

Hannele didn’t see the point of a doubles bingo team, but her mother insisted.

I really hate to say this, but the demons demand I do… is this Taylor Swift, after the Super Bowl?
