That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 18, 2024

/// When friends saw Michelle’s portrait, they heckled

her for wearing a dress that’s so speckled.

Looked like birds by the score

had pooped on what she wore,

but her hat-shaded face is unfreckled.

Judy, modeling her new asphalt themed dress. Just don’t wear it when crossing the street.

Tortoise shell hats never caught on.

You gotta admire a hat that arrives before the woman.

She was okay until she went sideways.

The Monty Python sketch that got cut:” the Ministry of Silly Walks in Silly Hats”

According to her mother, Luciole was so named because she was conceived on a mild summer night in a field ablaze with fireflies. She took the creature as her spirit animal, and dressed accordingly, in mysterious fashion. Known as ‘Queen of the Night, she attributed her numerous male admirers as attracted to her response toward their amorous signals.

Much cringing about way too much crenoline!

Ripped off the “Brockbrella?”

“Some people call dandruff a problem, but I’ve made it work for me!”

When thr sketch artist has a side gig doing mug shots.

One of those stiff-necked people you’ve heard about

Not many people know it, but Whistler honed his skills by painting his Aunt Millie before he painted his mother’s portrait.

“Whistler’s mother”, before she grew old/

Favored fashions exciting and bold./

Whistler’s daughter now wears/

Granny’s garments, but there’s/

A “prob” – this one’s speckled with mold.

“See Spot ? See Spot run ? Run, Spot, run !” – Fun with Dick and Jane, ca. 1934

It defies physical laws and aesthetic taste!

She may be a dotted Swiss….

Lucy learned the hard way not to sit backwards in a convertible.

Judy was always wore Gainsborough hats to draw attention away from her micromastia.

After a feast of giant oyster, Lulabelle made good use of the shell.

Exactly 20 seconds after Sarah told her room mate that she can put Sarah’s wet towel in the hamper if she didn’t like it being left on the bathroom floor!

When the sun shines, Maria is glad/

For the fortune left her by her Dad/

Though poor Daddy is dead/

He’s protecting her head:/

But her milliner’s stark raving mad…

Cold rain ran down the back of her neck until she got a downspout extension. They come in assorted colors with flowers, feathers, ribbons, and bows. They have a full assortment of foundations, belts, garters, and shoe clips to hold them in place and cut to length. There is a tee attachment to muffle flatus.

If you like it, put a ring on it!

Someone told her that the life of the party always wore a lampshade.

I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 2 works by him have been used here, the April 23, 2021, strip being the prior. A third work attributed to him by the April 9, 2021, strip, was actually by a different artist.

“Portrait de femme en robe mouchetée”, 1910

Wind at your back on the walk over, Judith?

And her Mad Mac.
