That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 25, 2023

The ad said:

“Become a chauffeur. Enjoy the good life.”

Now THAT is a Lyft!

Amazing what a pretty ankle and come-hither smile will get a girl.

Had a girl friend once come pick me up at the airport at arrivals. She arrived for taxi duty with only a sheer dress as a uniform. Best Uber ever.

Ah, so long ago…..

That Jean-Frederic was quite the automotive visionary.

Both could have once appeared in LIFE Magazine—

TOP: Ad, “See the USA in your Chevrolet.”

BOTTOM: “See your high chalet via slave valet.”

Top; “It’s a car!”

Bottom; “Sir you asked me this three times and I have told you now for the third time, I do not have any luggage with me just myself. Why do you keep on asking me this question?”

That looks almost as difficult as when I try to get onto the nearest interstate.

“He was last seen three days ago on the Howard Frankland Bridge heading towards “short-term” parking at Tampa international, officer. He’s 89 years old, in a black 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis going 42mph…”

They call it a “silver alert”:/

They’re hoping nobody gets hurt../

His car is so large/

It looks like a barge/

The driver is older than dirt.

When drunk at a bar, it is how I envision myself getting the girl next to me home, and, finally, my best friend trying to get me home from the bar.

wait – aren’t those Leo’s parents?

“The driver’s agonized grunts were quite distracting. It wasn’t my fault that he twisted his ankle. 2 out of 5 stars; no tip.” – Geoffrey J. Higganbotham, Esq.

This painting should be entitled: Taking My Ex-wife Shopping

1831 was the Second French Revolution. My guess is that pic #2 is symbolic of the sturdy but exploited “working class” carrying the effete elite on their backs. The guy in the chair wears knee breeches and sIlk stockings !

He asks only that she give him a ride in return.

I thought this was Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay conquering Mount Everest.

“Oh, Marcus! I seem to have left my gloves back in town. We must go back and get them, there’s a good fellow.”

Wow! A 2fer deal today.

The car is nice, but nothing beats an All Foot Drive.,

and choose the first Category: found and once there find the text string image, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about the upper drawing, if that hasn’t been deleted due to copyright issues. If it has, it’s from a December, 1956, Better Homes & Gardens advertisement for the 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner.

Again, a slightly larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3192 (September 25, 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 pointing to info about this named, reached age 109 before passing in 1875, artist I used to point to here. Only work by him used here so far. The top image is one of 49 works, so far, that have been used here with initially no or current unknown attribution, the July 12, 2023, strip being the prior.

/// The artist, lugged by a sillero

up a mountain peak, hangs his sombrero

by his snug wicker chair.

A lug struggles down there.

Does he care? Waldeck thinks he’s a pharaoh.
