That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 20, 2023

This is not for what they signed up, but they had to go bring the skipper back to the ship after he spent the night ashore drinking and…

/// They are Going Ashore for the Skipper.

(Skip, ship’s captain of the Yankee Clipper.)

He’s attached to a stripper.

Drunk, he moved in to grip her

and Skip’s beard became stuck in her zipper.

Is this were you last saw your wife?

If they each take an oar & row, they’ll never get anywhere.

Neither of them could figure why they weren’t getting anywhere until they finally realized they were both rowing against each other.

Horace suddenly had the urge to sing, “So I’d like to know where, you got the notionSaid I’d like to know where, you got the notionTo rock the boat (don’t rock the boat, baby)Rock the boat (don’t tip the boat over)Rock the boat (don’t rock the boat, baby)Rock the boat”

I was feeling gassy, standing up relieves the stomach cramps.

Take the mate’s cap size.

“Are you sure we’re out far enough for my first swimming lesson?”

A Democrat and a Republican Congress member trying to get to shore.

“I’m tellin’ ya. That’s not a Mermaid.”

Though each of them rowed like H€££ /.They succumbed to the thundering swell:/

We regret to report/

That they never made port:/

They rowed HARD – but they didn’t row W€££..

(“Full fathom five thy father lies..”)///

They were almost in sight of a sail/

When there suddenly rose up a gale -/

And their craft came apart/

Abaft the front thwart/

The result of a missing nail…///

It was thought that the the Captain’s Frau/

Had decided “enow is enow”*/

And had pried the nail out/

But there lingers some doubt/

(Though she seems much more affable now..)

*enow is an archaic form of “enough “

Sit down and paddle faster! Making yourself look bigger is for scaring off bears; the Loch Ness monster is ten times that size.

There’s got to be a big red thumb in there somewhere.

The great-grandchildren of the guy in the white hat will be riding electric bikes with no hands while they look at their phones.

Wait…stop…I swear I saw a mermaid……

John thought he was manning a rudder. They’d been going in circles for an hour.

Weird!

Man standing: “Okay, one more practice run & then we’ll have the answer to the goat, wolf and cabbage problem, then you can stay home and I’ll do the rest.”

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3190 (September 19, 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 info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 3 works by him have been used here, the January 28, 2021, strip being the prior.

Finally, the Sundance Kid took over and they made it to Bolivia.

Just before the darned fool capsized the boat AGAIN!

Somehow I don’t think they’re going merrily down the stream.

is guy standing wearing a wet shirt or is his skin that flabby?

“You see that? What IS that? It’s getting closer—aaah give me that oar!” (Chomp)

You standing up to go backwards … well; if that is your thing ….

But you can stop going “Beep … Beep … Beep” any time now.

We’ve got to row faster! Somebody took a sharpie, and we are still in the path of the hurricane!
