That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 27, 2017

“This kind of foreshadowing upsets your mother.”

Yes, I said that I was getting a little cross. But, …

Just tell me whether I should take the 50:1 bet against the Romans.

Caption is ironic, when you know that the Cross was instrumental to “the Messiah thing.” No crucifixion, no resurrection. No resurrection, no Messiah.

Many people don’t know that there were and are many self-proclaimed Messiahs around today. Some of them are also rabbis.

Dang it Billy, I said bring me the T-square.

“And while you’re up there, you do core exercises. I call it CrossFit.”

(best viewed by Google Chrome – can translate pages if necessary) has info and links that point to info about this painting. I could find no other bio info about this artist online.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1790 (September 26, 2017) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.

Could you make me a bigger one of these? I’m playing a game with my friend Jesus…

“Mam, Dad. – its for your fifth wedding anniversary”

“You’re not my dad, y’know.”

“Mother, are you atoning for eating all my candy-floss?”

“A slide rule? Gee, just what I always wanted.”

The problem with wanting to be a Messiah is that your dad has to be one too.
