That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 12, 2024

Wait! Don’t tell me this table is reserved.

/// Rich Girolamo, (serial sinner),

has dressed up for an alfresco dinner.

His young date is due later,

so he signals the waiter

to bring fine food and wines which will win her.

O great! My ex and HER new girlfriend!

“Does this make me look like I know what I’m doing?”

Waiter! This table is filthy!

“Turn left at the Walmart. You can’t miss it.”

Hold on there, no you can’t read it! Her love letters can be very explicit.

Waiter, can I have a table inside, in the air conditioning? This summer heat is killing me.

“Talk to the hand, because the beard ain’t listening.”

Check, Please!

“Five florins! Five florins for Spicoli’s lot of hash!

I shall hit this rose all the way over the outfield fence.

" The Restrooms? They’re right there, next to the kitchen. Just follow your nose."

“Hey Chris, Chris Columbus, over here. No, really, I do know him!!”

Alfredo is wearing his older brother’s clothes, which he hasn’t quite grown into yet.

Lorenzo always believed in setting a low bar for his personal ambitions.

Although it’s a brisk winter day/

He’s as mad as a hatter, they say/

There’s snow on the ground/

And there’s no one around/

Yet he’s waving mosquitoes away…

John McVie’s great grandfather was also a music star. “No, no autographs, please.”

Usain Bolt’s acting coach.

More dabbing was bound to happen soon after that other guy in the dungeon started it last week.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3354 (July 12, 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 the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 4 works by him have been used here, the July 10, 2024, strip being the prior.

“This is my Heisman pose. Like it?”

“Portrait of a Gentleman”

Talk to the hand, Yorick.

Actually, the man in this portrait is quite handsome, not as bland as other subjects.!

“Take another tab and look real close at your hand. It’s amazing!”

Use the force Girolamo …

She didn’t work out.

NEXT!

They are giving 15 to 1 on #6. Hey! Runner!

Let’s see … What’s the next move to pantomime I’m in a box?

Lotto sale, 3 for 1 all week.

I repeat…somewhere out there is a woman for me to love and it is fun looking for her!

The artist explains what went wrong with The Leaning Tower of Pisa – and why it wasn’t his fault.

“I see an great, bright future – over there somewhere.”

He hates eating lunch at his desk, so/

So today he is dining al fresco/

But the menu is a vile:/

kosher isn’t his style./

So does that mean the man is grotesque? No !

“Please. no portraits”
