That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 10, 2023

Hector, looking sexy with his princes Leia hairdo.

Right Said Fred’s great grandfather.

His come-hither look would be more effective if he hadn’t just had a pot of Boston Baked Beans for lunch.

If Princess Leia were a man, in a century far far away…

Such dainty fingers.

/// Moses Gill has a look on his mug

which comes off as insufferably smug.

Pompous pose and demeanor

might not gall, were he leaner,

and not wearing a vest quite so snug.

If you play your cards right, she could score yours.

I don’t always look so smug. But when I do my wife cries hysterically for days.

Good thing he got Betsy’s number, he needs a good seamstress to fix that vest.

Do you like apples? I got her number, how do you like them apples?

wait, is that a Princess Leia hairdo?

My latest invention combines the convenience of earbuds and the timeless style of Princess Leia hair

Not quite as handsome as the man in “Watson and the Shark”.

He seems a self-satisfied sort/

(Don’t know why- since he’s chubby and short)/

Yet he sails through the world/

With his mainsail unfurled:/

Though he seems to be listing to port,///

With himself he is visibly smitten/

And this note that somebody has written/

Says he’s won (yet again !)/

He’s “a man among men”/

Though at present he purrs like a kitten.

“Tell me: does this outfit make me look even more manly?”

John’s knowing grin would soon turn sour as he realized the little gas he released turned wet.

Uh-oh……fart.

Jon Lovitz’s “1776” cast photo.

“I’m to sexy for my vest.”

Normally, Samuel is not a bragger but Betsy called him a huge conservative!

He’s hoping she’ll strike her colors on his flagpole.

.

No, I don’t know what that means either.

For a painting that couldn’t be quainter, He stood contemplating the retainer, With a look that’s so bland, And the cash in his left hand, How much do you tip a painter?

The Baron started the trend in skin-tight vests to accent his (ahem) physical assets.

So, his parents named him after a square in Boston?

Other versions has the strip coloration image.

 

Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #670 (September 15, 2011) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. 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, 15 works by him have been used here (17 times total, including this repeat and a prior), the September 6, 2012, strip being its first use. GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the new lines in my comment there; but, perhaps the text remains informative.  

I still wonder why one side of his vest has more fabric, i.e., is longer, than the other – any answers? 

The April 18, 2023, strip has the prior non-repeat by him.

The young maiden sat very still Writing her missive to Mr. Gill, “About the passion we had, and please don’t be mad I forgot to take the pill.”

Is that a tennis ball in your vest pocket, or are you happy to see me?

Hot Stuff. :)

“But you can call me Gilda.”

“Brucie” Washington, the outcast brother George in seldom mentioned in polite society, only when he comes down from his room to eat.

She just needs his waistcoat for the stars…

He didn’t realize until later that Betsy Ross was giving her number to everybody.

Realizing he didn’t have time to go home and change for the transvestite ball; he wore something that would work for both occasions.

Here were see Acting Governor Gill

who’s dismissively holding a Bill

he feared was a stealthy

attack on the Wealthy

for whom, it is claimed, he would shill.

Prince Leia?
