That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 14, 2022

It was at times like these that Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s son Claude wished he had been born in Texas, where boys are boys…

Come along Gretel, let’s go take a walk in the woods with your new mommy.

“I know we don’t really dress up like this but that painter wanted us to look ‘natural’. "

Honey, please forgive me, my pronoun mistakes are not intentional I promise!

/// “Summer Landscapes” with green grass and trees.

Renoir painted so many of these.

Overdressed Mom with child

strolls along through the wild;

she’d strip down if she wants us to please.

“Never mind, dear. That little boy is just watering a tree.”

“So it really is just ‘a walk in the park’ ?”

Sunday in the park without George.

Gladys couldn’t believe it. She took her little girl’s advice and got a great deal on the new car.

We were just going from the shoe department to cosmetics…I guess Norm was right about my sense of direction

“Mom, Dad……Why are you making me poise for this picture with Geraldine? In the future, everyone is going to think she’s my child! Can’t we just call her Ooops?”

Nanny giving the stink-eye to the paparazzi that just can’t leave the poor princess alone for one blessed moment.

Too many people forget that the car dealer is there to sell you the loan and not the car.

Sweetie, don’t ever ask daddy again why you heard our bed squeaking so much at night, he will make us go for a long walk so I can explain it to you, and you aren’t old enough. Just know your father is a cheap *&$% who won’t buy a good bed.

talent: looking like you’re walking but staying motionless for hours for the painter

I don’t see the connection between the caption and the painting.

“Just watch. I’ll flash a little ankle at this idiot, and he’ll jump at the chance to be your ‘baby daddy’.”

There’s no denying Renoir’s a genius, but it’s hard to explain why the little girl’s feet are the same size as the woman’s.

Mama itching her privates.

“Dam these crabs itch!”

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2994 (September 14, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 13 works by this artist have been used here. The February 7, 2022, strip has the prior.

“Yes, the bloom broach is beautiful, dear, but you shouldn’t have taken it from the neighbour’s prize Petunia plant. Please stick to the meadow flowers like I just showed you.”

we are going for a long walk deep into the woods and then play hide and seek, then you find your way back in time for dinner and it will be dark but don’t worry.

I’m too young to be your mother

A car?

Yes – they aren’t available for the general public yet; which is why it makes more sense to have monthly payments.

By the time the loan is paid off, there might actually be a car for us!
