That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 05, 2018

“Go Nads!”

“Quick, to a doctor! I’ve been speared!

" Give Me That Old Soft Shoe"

Ashton Kutcher’s great grandfather preparing for the first ever episode of Punk’d.

“It’s OK, I can wear white ‘cos I’m still a virgin.”

That’s a Dandy not an Admiral and they wore outrageous clothing.

By Jove, Wellington was right! One can learn some very interesting gossip by eavesdropping on the ladies at tea.

He is what they use to call a “Dandy”

British Admiral watching the cabin boy undressing. “Drool, Britannia!”

Liberace waiting to be introduced for his piano concert.

The Wizard of Oz was hoping his new outfit might get him to second base with Dorothy.

If he does they’ll see them in those pants.

Just before he steps out, Rupert realizes he forgot to shave.

Lets see now, where did I leave my walking stick?

“Hmmm. Codpiece or no codpiece?”

“Hmm, I think I’ll open with the one about the two courtiers and the princess taking trombone lessons…..”

Eavesdropping or A Gentleman Bemused:

(best viewed using Google Chrome, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this roughly A3 paper size 1880 painting.

http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/francesco-beda_(Dizionario-Biografico)/ 

all have info about this artist (the last in Italian; again, Chrome can automatically translate), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here (with 1 now repeated a second time, this time as a Classic). 

http://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2018/06/22?comments=visible 

has the prior strip (my comment there used the same artist info URLs). 

http://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2014/09/02?comments=visible 

has the 1st repeat (of the 9/4/12 strip), which sadly, though my (expanded from 9/4/12) comment text is there with the line breaks removed, its 18 hyperlinks remain inactive, and its embedded image isn’t shown. &?@#!#%&!

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s A PRICELESS CLASSIC: 2011 (September 4, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. That replaced the MASTERPIECE #664 (September 9, 2011) blog entry.

Hmm…OK; they like the outfit but the shoes and hat have to match.

Liberace goes to the senior prom..

Looks like Burgess Meredith.

Vatican priest in costume about to enter boys gym class.

…with Burgess Meredith starring as Don Zorro Blanco.

When I was a lad…

These are ALL just too GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Ah yes… That’s me in my long underwear.

(Sigh) “Harold…..what ever are you doing lurking outside our daughter’s blind date?”

“Quiet, Mildred. Mmmmm, cannot you not see that I am…..mmmMMMM…..plotting?”:)
