That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 05, 2023

“Why don’t you hop out and get in my carriage at the next stop light? I’ll pay whatever is on the meter.”

/// Leaving Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées,

Jeanne drew next to a cabriolet.

“Pardon me,” she called, flustered,

“do you have any mustard?”

The reply: “Must it be Poupon (Grey)?”

No, I don’t need any Grey Poupon. Your right tail light is out.

The coachman on the right is playing on his phone.

Again

“No I will not give that gentleman my number.”

I already told you, I DONT have any Grey Poupon!

The advantage of having the four-wheeler with a bigger horse … The other guy gets all of the mud.

“Do I ‘ave any gray Poupon ?/

I’m afraid I must answer ‘mais non !’/

But eef you may be ‘ad/

Though I’m old as your dad,/

I am buying, my leetle bonbon!”

“Last one to the Moulin Rouge is a rotten oeuf!”

I needed bigger horsepower.

“I like my big beautiful coach, but you’ve got a hansom rig there yourself.”

First one to the next stop sign wins.

Fun fact: Penelope Pitstop’s great-grandmother, Gertrude, was the first to be chased by someone from the Hooded Claw family.

“De Camptown race-track five miles long, Oh! doo-dah day!”

Surrey on down…

“Wanna race?”

Yes, well, if we take mine down to the lake no one can see us……

“Excusez-moi, M’sieur, but your turn signal’s been on for two kilometers..”

“Pardon me, do you have a mackintosh to cover me?”

“No, but there’s a McTavish who’d be glad to.”

“Tell that arrogant fat swine of an ex-husband sitting back there that if he doesn’t start making his alimony payments on time, he’s gonna see more than my lawyers at his door … AND he’ll be walking not riding in the future!”

Note: I toned down what she really said when I translated. What she really said in French would have made a Parisian Apache blush!

Do smaller horses get better mileage per bale?

“Oh yeah?! Well, same to you, buddy! And the horse you rode in with!”

At the Champs-Élysées roundabout:

I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment and reply pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 13 works by him have been used here (19 times total, including 6 repeats), the August 28, 2023, strip being the prior.

The famed Renault Deux Chevaux/(2CV)

Will replace either one of those/

Til more upscale Peugeots/

Will surpass even of those/

And not merely by a nose.///

There may even come a day/

When the lanes of the Champs Elysées/

(So “le vite Louis” says)/

Will be graced by a chaise/

Which is known as a “Chevrolet”..

That and the 47 cupholders.

♫ While riding in my hansom cab, much to my surprise. A little two seater was right by me, it cost a third of mine. The driver, though female, had challenged me, much to my chagrin. I’ll show that my horse and cab would surely get the win. Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, her ride was cheap, cheap, cheap. ♫

“Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées,” ca. 1880

lulu racing down the chumps uleese . hoping to get her wet so they can dry her off.

I stopped at the apostrophe after kids and wondered, “Who the heck is Soccer Crap?”

Excuse me? Have you seen a masked man riding a silver horse?

“hey lady, if you lean any farther out over them back wheels you’ll be using that hat brim as a sewage fender… just sayin’…”

I hope Steve had a great Labor Day.

I thought weed never get out of burning man.
