Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s A PRICELESS CLASSIC (2016) (August 16, 2017) blog entry (was MASTERPIECE #1576), accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.

The portrait of Robert E. Lee that never made it onto the Confederate $100 bill.

Portrait of a heavy smart phone user fifty years from now, hiding the tiny nubs his thumbs have worn down to.

Oh Steve, did your mother never teach you not to mix your Latin and Greek roots? ANTICHEIRICONOPHOBIA!

Is Steve on a break or is this comic strip ended? We’ve been getting re-runs since the end of July.

Peanuts strip where Charlie Brown comments on a picture of a man drawn by Linus:

Charlie Brown: “I note that you drew him with his hands behind his back. This is because you, yourself, have feelings of insecurity.”

Linus: “No. I did that because I, myself, can’t draw hands!”

Bored with sitting, a quick game of pocket pool was in order.
