That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 23, 2022

This painting was used when the wife asked for half of everything in the divorce.

/// Annette hopes to makes Rodney her match.

By his side she is Netting the Catch.

She won’t play hard to get.

Fish with Rod and Annette

if you wish marine life to dispatch.

Benny was so hoping the fish Shelly was netting was the one he fed the engagement ring to.

You know, if you had remembered to take your mother’s car key before we dumped her off of that bridge, we wouldn’t be out here in his fetid swamp

As Martha went fishing yet again with her boyfriend – third time this week – her appreciation for Gollum increased: She was also out on this river in the middle of nowhere, hoping to get a ring out of this filthy little pastime.

standing up in the punt, both up front, one mistake you are in the lake!

Rodney had started the morning with a lecture on the superiority of a rod and reel over the brute net; he now watched Martha snag her limit on trout in less than an hour.

When Edwin promised her a seafood dinner, she didn’t realize that she would have to clean and cook it herself.

Beatrice couldn’t help but wonder if that extra long fishing pole was compensating for something.

Ned and Nadine went on a fishing outing

The outing soon left poor Nadine pouting

The heat, the bugs, the baited worm

Such things in Nature made her squirm

The pleasant outing finished in shouting:

.

“Nadine, please just use the net

You’re the most squeamish girl I’ve ever met!”

“But, Neddy. The fish you caught has such sad eyes

I seem to hear its mournful sighs

To catch it would cause me much regret!”

.

And so the date was thus disaster-ed

Nadine wept and called him ‘bass-turd”

The insults bandied back and forth

Assured no dates would come henceforth

A romantic match would be absurd!

I have added a comment there pointing to my blog comment with the info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 8 works by this artist have been used here. The August, 24, 2022, strip has the prior.

The net result of their date/

(or it seems so, at any rate)/

Was that all that she netted/

Though she struggled and sweated/

Was two boots and an old roller skate.///

My friends warned me you smelled fishy.

Shelly didn’t believe Ned when he said, “Let’s skip out on our wedding reception early I hear the fish are biting.” Shelly now began to second guess her marriage decision.

Skinny phallic portraiture

Nuthin is as fishy / as my muffin when it’s squishy / in the mor-or-ning!

He told her she would be in charge of the net work. She was thinking Radio.

Just one quick, sharp blow to the back of the head, and he’d be joining all of her other rich would-be paramours at the bottom of the lake.

" You certainly picked an odd way to hide your stash, Jeremy."

I think the speaker is going to catch a lot of “somethings,” but medical science only has cures for a few of them.

Wanted: a woman who knows how to clean and cook fish, must have bass boat, send picture of boat.

Why do you keep saying your rod is test worthy?

Yeah catching crabs.

Does it itch?

Silvia’s dumb date thinks she is trying to find her cherry, which she told him she lost earlier while swimming.

“Izaak, I don’t think you’ll catch anything with that bare hook. Perhaps you should try some bait, like a worm, grasshopper, or frog.”

was the last thing Daryl said before he went ‘missing’.

Will she be later fishing for the elusive one eye trouser trout?
