That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 22, 2023

Should I accept his proposal, or should I hold out for a better offer? I hear that Mr. Trump is looking for a new wife.

/// He’s too shy to propose, so The Suitor

brought his sister— she’s bolder (and cuter).

Sis spoke on his behalf.

Juana stifled a laugh

and thought, “He’s not a man, he’s a neuter.”

“On the plus side his family is rich.”

“..:is he still behind me?”

“I don’t know if he’s serious. Look at the way he’s dressed.”

I don’t know Sara he’s wearing a lot of perfume and his voice is very high and he has such tiny hands.

Leroy’s attempts at reading potatoes rutabagas and radishes were rarely taken seriously by the followers of divination predictions.

“Yes…. Go on…”

Husband watching wife and friend in anticipation of getting a word into the conversation

They’re determined to turn him today /

but will they succeed? No way!/

He’s cutely, astutely, dressed in a pink suitly/downright resolutely gay !

Hans was literally at the edge of his seat. After Eleanor’s “size” gesture with her fingers, he desperately wanted to explain the “shrinkage in the swimming pool” effect.

Reggie knew all the good gossip because women just did not notice him.

Sales pitches for Scamway didn’t do so well until Ricardo got the brilliant idea to drop the first two letters from the company name.

She: I told him I was not interested in him…but he said it was you he wanted!

There appears to be some confusion:

Or at least an unwonted illusion/

But it still looks to me/

That they’re gonna agree:/

A third party is NOT an intrusion!

“Frankly, dear, I think the idea is preposterous. He has enough trouble with a two-way.”

Isabella asking her chaperone whether to allow Carlos to briefly touch her hand.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #663 (9/8/11) (June 21, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, only work by this artist used here (2 times total, including this Throwback Thursday), the November 2, 2011, strip being its first use. I hadn’t started reading the strip back then; so, I left a comment today pointing to this.

Jacob is undecided but sort of favors the one without the hat.

Each one faced a tough decision/

Ere their “triangular elision”…/

Imagine the tension:

“Do I break with convention?

Or play safe and avoid derision ?”///

Employ some advanced techniques/

And elicit alarming shrieks ?/

Or just go “missionary”-/

Git ‘er done in a hurry/

And hide out for a couple of weeks?///

The outcome remains unclear./

We won’t learn what happened here../

Was the mission complete?/

Well- they all were discrete-/

But I’m pretty sure that he’s qu€€r.

He promises to give you back your clothes. He wants to try them on just once!

For Friday: Because of the number of Narcs/who are lately patrolling the parks/she has gone to the shore/ where she seems to sell more/to the tourist before they embarks…
