That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 22, 2021

In the Middle Ages a colonoscopy cost a lot of coin, but it was thorough.

umm…I don’t want to be banned from GoComics.

The Brown Nosers Association picked an appropriate site for their national convention.

Where potato farmers get their fertilizer.

A man with a full money bag / will always have reasons to brag. / His flatterers queue / to get the best view / (although quite a few of them gag).

I can’t unsee this …

IRS Auditor’s new dream ride at Epcot!

Something here about lobbyists? Or did I date myself again?

It seems Pieter Brueghel, the Younger / may have had a fixation on dung, er… /… what I’m trying to say / in a less filthy way, / is his vision of Hell is from hunger. /// He fought hard to diverge from the Elder. / (Or as Freud would have deemed him, “the gelder.”) / And his Mom was no help / to her ungrateful whelp. / The sad fact is his painting repelled her.

I’ll have some of what Pieter is having.

Hash brownies, is it?

When I first found this duffel of dough / I was lit’rally L.M.A.O. / But it now makes me cry / and to ask Heaven why / there’s a mammoth square void down below.

There once was a painter named Pete/ a cynic, somewhat indiscrete/ whose depiction, immortal/ “The Posterior Portal”/ will probably never be beat.///In a manner supremely didactic/ Pete employs a symbolic tactic/ to try to align/ our ethical spine/ through “painterly chiropractic”.// But such is the nature of men/ though we hear it again and again/ we may seek the ethereal/ but we’re mainly material./ Here endeth the sermon. Ay-men.

I’ve heard these old artists guys had toxic substances in their paints. Butt that’s way too much $#!^ to deal with. Who is this Melcher guy and how long did his parents beat him?

The villagers had always called Arnold the biggest arsehole in town….and now the kids knew why!

In through the back door? A pain in the ……

Ok, everyone into the trojan person.

My first thought,”Good lord!”

Everybody wants to be her back door man.

You’ve got rocks in your, …, hey wait!

what a flattering portrait…

Grand Opening today!!!

The Little People’s constabulary, preparing to arrest Gulliver for indecent exposure.

When you’re famous, you can’t even take a dump without some little people getting into your shit.

“Wait, I thinks this is supposed to be the exit.”

What, pray, is the strange allure/ of that odorous aperture?/ What strange interaction/ with the affluent faction?/ Well, roses grow well in manure! (Or do they? I’m not so sure…)

Southern Netherlandish = Belgian.

“This delightfully amusing painting…depicts an old Flemish proverb that wealthy men will always have flatterers: “Because so much money creeps into my sack, the whole world climbs into my hole.” https://www.theleidencollection.com/artwork/man-with-the-moneybag-and-flatterers/

Those must have been some mighty fine mushrooms.

I’d love to hang that on my front door, everybody would be afraid to knock.

Picture of a rich, Republican political donor.

“This treasure map says to go up “Ye Olde Dirt Road”. OK, but THEN WHAT?"

Your money ain’t worth crap.

I’ll take your filthy lucre!

“Ain’t no people on the old dirt road”

Q: What’s the difference between a Leprechaun and a Brownie? A: wait 5 minutes.

The campaign poster for “Trump in ’24.” This is the closest I’ve ever come to clicking on “buy a print of this comic,” butt……nah.

Just minutes before the start of the Rose Parade, engineers raced to repair the out-of-control coin-pouring mechanism. Would there still be enough time to re-cover the access panel with fresh pink rose petals?

I think this is a metaphor for Amazon’s Prime Deals.

Somehow, “Being ‘Steve the Farmer’ wasn’t nearly as interesting as ’Being John Malkovic”’

Officially the strangest painting I’ve ever seen!!

I have added a comment there pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here.

“The travel agent said this is the door to Mar-Y-Lago…”

The seven dwarfs allowed Snow White to believe they spent their days mining for gemstones, but they were actually involved in the illegal black market in kidney-stones.

The new amusement park ride. Seating capacity 42.

The little men could hardly believe that this portal would allow them to enter the rich man’s innards. The doorway, after all, had just now been hastily drawn on the giant’s posterior by a bipedal coyote with an Acme marker.

Oh, I’m so confused.
