That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 05, 2023

/// Betje sits for a Lesson in Drawing.

In the background, her maid is withdrawing.

Quickly heads for the door.

Having been here before

she has learned— very soon comes the pawing.

“Bad Spot! Bad! I said KICK!”

Hey, hands off my bust, mister!

As the dog licks himself as one does.

The makeup dummy will never be this clean again.

Now, to deactivate your spouse’s independent thought function, drill here first.

Louise was shocked when walked in on Gertrude and her client in the brothel. She knew Professor Covington had his kinks, but she was sure that “giving an anatomy lesson to a pretty girl” meant something different.

Wilbur was not particularly interested in learning the details of the sculpture. But, then again, he was a dog.

This is not what I meant when I said “Bring me his head on a platter!”.

“The secret of drawing,”he said /

To the lady extremely well bred/

“lies not in the body/

But in properly getting the head..”///

It’s simply a natural fact”/

He added, with admirable tact/

“That’ll getting the head/

Is nothing to dread:/

It’s not an unnatural act!”/

" The bust, the bust, … we must increase the bust! "

Emily’s daily exercise mantra.

She: “How would you like a bust in the mouth?” He: “I’d like that very much, please!”

Anders explains to his hairstylist that he wants “business in the front, party in the back.”

An older, retired John Wick teaches his granddaughter the tricks of his former trade. “You want to put the bullet right here.”

You asked him for a selfie. I have been sent by his arrangements agent to present one of his better ones. This one is recent and only a few years old and relatively accurate. He would like for you to reciprocate. I have arranged for a renowned sculptor to capture you in a classic reclining nude pose.

the dog is licking his own Grundlecharms in sympathy

Apparently, according to Urban Dictionary, "grundlecharms’ is a real word. Is English a great language or what?!

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3159 (July 5, 2023) 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 (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to what limited info I could find about this artist. Only work by him used here so far.

The maid was startled to discover what she had heard previously only in conversation that the man was giving her mistress head.

So that’s what it means when a guy asks you to come up and see his etchings.

I swear. This thing was talking before I took it from the mansion at Disneyland.

“The Drawing Lesson”, 1808

Fido found something interesting in a very dull room.

The dog couldn’t wait for the drawing lesson to be over so he could go for his walk.

I got nuthin’ caption wise, but that figure in the background must be possessed to be able to turn her head all the way around like that.

This is only one bust, but just imagine how you’ll look with two.

The lady for whom he lusted/

Had a bust that was seldom dusted/

Though richly embossed/

Its contours were lost/

When with crud it grew thickly encrusted .

For Thursday: I find myself prone to bemoan/

These hours spent sitting alone/

On an old bishop’s throne

Amid walls hewn from stone/

With a cup that could well be a clone..

In truth, I am almost in tears /

It is far from “the cup that cheers”/

It is garnering sneers,/

My account’s in arrears /

And it seems it was purchased at Sears..

No, no, no.

If the water is up to here, that is “past your eyes”.

Pasteurize is another meaning entirely.
