That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 05, 2024

/// All the men gathered round to discuss

The great Test of Strength dreamed up by Gus.

Dared to “prove you’re a jock,”

fools must lift a huge rock.

When they failed, Gustav sold them a truss.

That sounded wet mate, might wanna’ wipe.

“Lift with ya legs, not ya back.”

“I told ya never hide your keys under that rock.”

“Alright, it’s dead. Now confess. Which one of you boys yelled ‘eek, a spider’?”

It takes a strong man to lift that pile of poo. And you should have seen the size of the dung beetle that put it there.

Short lived idea to use rocks for currency

Young Schwarzenegger rocks his Lederhosen!

(Ladies in the doorway) Morons. It’s not their arms we want to be longer.

It seemed an impossible lift/

But young Arnold sneered, snorted, and sniffed:/

Then (to everyone’s shock)/

He hoisted that rock/

Now he’s famous as Taylor Swift !

It was a cruel joke to hide Hans’ lucky hat feather under that large rock, but it was admittedly funny to see him try to get it out.

Uh no, we changed our mind. It would look better over there.

I’ll bet the physical therapist in that town had a land office business.

A bunch of guys gather in a circle to see who can get their rocks off first…. There’s a term for that, isn’t there?

The origin of the “World’s Strongest Man” shows was a small village in Australia.

There’s one heckler in such a crowd: “What’s a hernia like?”

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3350 (July 5, 2024) 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 the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 4 works by him have been used here, the July 1, 2024, strip being the prior.

The rock won.

“Whoever that is behind me, DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.”

New practice patients for the chiropractic college.

A Ankh-morpork accapel group experiment with that new fangled “music with rocks in it”!

the two guys in upper right have feathers pointing in different directions, which one is gay?

Unclear on the Concept: Pick-up Artist Division

“The Trial of Strength”, 1898

training for the crepitation contest

Showing his buddies how he helped move a rock for Tiger Woods.

As a young Arnold starts to lift the heavy rock he suddenly had to release a gas bubble…..cleared the entire area!
