That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 18, 2019

“Now that l look at it from this angle, it does look like your wife and not a horse.”

“You moron! The picture’s getting younger and I’m getting older!”

“No matter how long I stare at these, I can never see any 3D images.”

The Russians say that’s you in the golden shower.

So, who is this guy Stephan Pastis and why is Bill Amend trying so hard to copy his style?

Are you sure? I think he’s behind the third wagon from the left, next to the waving flag.

Dammit, where IS Waldo!?!!

How did you get the dogs to hold the cards and cigars?

“His name is Bob Ross. He uses ordinary paint brushes and makes happy little clouds.”

Now, can you install a shredder at the bottom for the auction?

“It’s a modern tri-corner, Arnold. And no, it won’t muss your wig.. now, let’s put it on again, shall we? Nice and slow…”

If I had known I would have worn my phallic extension.

Turning a nice calf there, Roger…

“Do I wanna go out today and look at trees, buildings, cafe life, battles? Nah, I’ll just stay in and do a painting of an artist doing a painting.”

If I don’t like it, is it still art?

“Are you sure this ‘selfie’ thing will catch on?”

Exciting! Watching paint dry! What will they think of next?

“I found it in the attic. Who would’ve ever guessed our Mum had the milkman’s initials tattooed on her bum?”
