That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 30, 2018

The old fashioned chamber pot had multiple uses.

Mother was telling the kid not to eat that fish, it’ll spoil his dinner.

It’s going to be hard to win “MasterChef Junior” with this one ingredient and no utensils.

Gefilte Fish Starter Pack.

Having licked the bowl clean, Oliver was ready to ask for more gruel.

But I was hoping for a glass fish bowl.

When I asked for a goldfish bowl for Christmas, this isn’t exactly what I meant, but that’s okay Mom.

“Who? Me?….. What fish?”

Here’s the artist: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Webster_Hawthorne. And here’s the painting: https://www.mfa.org/collections/object/the-bowl-32518. Hawthorne, by the way, taught Norman Rockwell. The art school Hawthorne founded on Cape Cod is apparently still there. Artistic family; his wife was also a painter and his son became an orchestra conductor. Oh, and don’t stop by the museum to see the painting – it’s apparently not on view just now.

He made his living cooking fish – and so he smelt of Smelt..

But where is the caption? “Gordon Ramsey” seems to be the real identification, not the funny line….

Little Ludwig learning to like leathery, Lithuanian lutefisk.

Little Gordo caught with his hand in the fish jar again.

Life is just a bowl of fishies!

Young Donald Trump waiting for his Ice Cream! “Fill MY YUGE bowl to the top, but everyone else just gets one scoop!”

“Who brought me this "****ing bowl? I said I needed a mid-sized bowl! Does this look like ‘mid-sized’ to you!?!

The classic look every parent knows, moments before he says the most used word in a child’s vocabulary. What’s going on in there!? NOTHING!

When I told you to ‘clean the fish’, that’s not what I meant.

How to wash a fish.

I can’t see him swim in this bowl, shoun’t it be glass

all have info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. This is the first work by him used here.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2029 (August 29, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

P.S. When I posted this comment earlier, I questioned rugeirn‘s assertion the artist, founder of the Cape Cod School of Art, in Provincetown, MA, taught Rockwell. Rockwell isn’t in the notable students list at the school’s Wikipedia.org webpage, or in any of the above URLs. But, then I found a book, a couple pages of which do say Rockwell spent a few weeks there one summer: 

https://books.google.com/books?id=wdZOAQAAQBAJ&q=Hawthorne&pg=PA47#v=onepage&f=false 

but, its art technique didn’t appeal to Rockwell. So, still not sure that taught is correct.

Bowling for fish.

I’m gonna barf!!

Hootie and the Bowlfish !
