That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 21, 2022

“Darling, can you write the letter to your lover after you get me my dinner?”

“I’m writing a letter to the help. I’m not happy with these casual friday clothes they’ve laid out for us.”

how texting was done before electronics…

“You’re going out dressed like THAT”?

Best illustration of what a “sacque-back dress” of the time looks like, that I’ve ever seen. And yes, it does look like a sack.

“Another fan letter to Lord Byron? I hope you are not following Caroline Lamb’s example and sending shavings of your own ‘nether’ hair. She cut herself in so doing, and her husband, William, is now terribly frustrated.

“Put that aside, Daphne, and follow me. I believe you realize discipline is now required with ‘Mr. Thingy’ here! Ah, how your bosom begins to heave.”

/// Sevrin came to Rudella to get her

to agree not to finish The Letter.

He’d be barred from the Palace

if her missive of malice

revealed he is a secret bedwetter.

Dear sister, I hate to interrupt you, but I thought you should know that you have a butt the size of a clydesdales’.

Hey, if you’re going to look over my shoulder all the time, YOU can balance the budget yourself.

It fills out the mail-in ballot conservatively or it gets the stick again

I knew it! That’s the same hand writing as the one on the bathroom wall!

We need better weekend art,please

no, no, i’m quite sure that that’s not how you spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious…

“Do you MIND?”

He’s not getting the sex that he craved/

And she’s feeling downright enslaved../

His treatment is shabby/

So she writes to Dear Abby:/

Dear me ! “Can this marriage be saved ?”

“But I AM tired of your philanthropic ways – your showing off and spending will put us in the poor house soon, Sylvester.”

Take a letter Maria……

Her Husband Abhorred Byron

On that day long, long ago

It was such a bitter blow

As I passed you writing fan

Letters to that craven man.

What has he that I have not?

One good foot he CLAIMS he’s got …

Oh please, tear up your letter to that man!

.

How you mocked aloud my tears

When you had confirmed my fears

That your kiss between each line

Meant your love was his, not mine.

Byron has you ‘neath his Spell!

That British fop can go to H-ll!

Oh please, tear up your letter to that man!

.

I have here my riding crop

That might convince you now to stop,

This strap will cause a mindful sting

To convince you that this foolish fling

Has no future, and is passé —

So put that quill pen away —

And please, tear up your letter to that man!

“Yes, I am going to stand here and stare at you as you write.”

Before there was Clippy, there was Clifford.

wrongly, or incorrectly, please

“Aha! Writing the gas company begging them to turn it back on I see. Just put on a third dress you wimp!”

Nothing could be colder than exposed shoulder boulders in the mor-or-ning!

“Ordering from Amazon again?”

Fiona discovers that Alex is really Alexi.

“And what exactly did you think I was doing behind the partition?”

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3015 (October 21, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu. 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, 6 works by this artist have been used here. The October 19, 2022, strip has the prior.

James since you have such a thin “Stick” it’s no wonder I am leaving you, I should have done it minuets ago instead of waiting this long after the wedding.

“Don’t tell me how to draw it, George. I’ve seen it up close. I know how large it is.”

Strip Tic-Tac-Toe starts off with a resounding O!

Would you check on the baby, please? I’m in the middle of a poem, and the Muse will not be put on hold.

”… You Spelled ‘Philanderer’ Wrong.”

/// By your oddball behavior you force

me to write to demand a divorce.

For my birthday you send one

stunted limp philodendron,

and our sęx-life you tried to outsource.

Ah Vera, I see you are writing a short invitation to your paramour. Still you know how Ilong for you………mmmmmm?

Tell them that was a warning. Send the money or we’ll send you another ear.
