That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 14, 2020

“I keep telling you, I don’t date guys with wings.”

Since the kid didn’t get a bow with his arrow, he figured he’s just get up close and stab his victims.

Sheez. God or no God, you’re getting Pampers.

Just a little prick.

“Wearing wings, you looked so grand; wearing wings

Do you tape them to your shoulders, just to sing?”

(Joni Mitchell, ”That Song About The Midway”)

She doesn’t want a beau; he obviously needs a bow. He should just bow out and go find a bough to make a bow.

this is actually called ‘young girl defending herself against eros’ but…

① she doesn’t look like she’s trying very hard and ② she looks like she’s a bit past the ‘young girl’ phase…

Modern painters would be arrested for using naked child models. Just saying.

If I had a 10 foot pole … I would be using it right now.

Cupid returns from the movies: “I tell you Aphrodite it was really cool! The Orc was too close so Legolas just took the arrow and stuck it in him by hand, like this. When you kill an Orc they stay dead, but the good guys always come back after you think they’re dead …. except a few … who are better off dead cause they have no chance of winning an Academy Award anyway.”

“Hey, my eyes are up here, you little prick!”

“Yes they’re real, and they’re spectacular” (as you can see)

Back when Cupid was giving tats.

Alright, alright! They are implants, so don’t stab them or they will deflate.

Why Cupid! My you are getting to be such a big boy, do come back in couple more years.

[Her:]

They say we’re young and we don’t know

We won’t find out until we grow

[Him:]

Well I don’t know if all that’s true

’Cause you got me, and baby I got you

“You might feel a little prick.”

Cupid uses an arrow to distract his target as he humps her leg.

Amor Vincet Omnia! Happy Valentine’s Day.

Aw, come on. I wanna see them pop like a balloon!

You can tell a Bouguereau at 100 yards ! Greatest technical painter who ever lived ! Now, if I can just think of a funny line…

He seems to have been a bit daft/ when he threatened her with that shaft./ She was too much to handle/ for that sly little vandal /When he went for “the goods”, she just laughed.

By the way, who did you say was my dad? Cause I wanna know how come I’ve got wings.

Back off kid, I’m pregnant already

*Stupid Cupid you’re a real mean guy

I’d like to clip your wings so you can’t fly

I’m in love and it’s a crying shame

And I know that you’re the one to blame

Hey hey, set me free

Stupid Cupid stop picking on me*

._______Connie Francis (1958) “Stupid Cupid”

Wow – can you imagine the uproar this image would cause if created today?

“Yeah, I know about you chicks with a dwarf fetish. But wings? That’s just weird.”

“$20 an hour ain’t enough to babysit you, you little bastard.”

“Hey, little guy… My eyes are up here!”

What’s wrong with a KISS boy?? Just start with a KISS!! :>)

“Make his quota”? Is that another way of calling “It” these days?

Yeah, I always liked the idea of having a toyboy

You’re not sticking me with that thing.
