That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 12, 2024

if you do “honk honk” one more time you will be sleeping in the stable again!

“Hey Franz Liszt, you may be a more well know composer than me, but take a look at my hot wife!”

/// The composer Mosonyi disclosed

that when painted by Weber he dozed.

He looks calm and serene

in this nonchalant scene.

Both composer and wife seem composed.

This face hair helps hide my develish grin.

Look, a Ballchinian. (Thank Men in Black.)

His woman is splendidly dressed/

But his face Is a festering nest/

Of six-legged critters/

Who give her the jitters:/

He’s the home of the “Buda Pest” !

There’s no way that his face can be cleared/

Of the wildlife which therein adhered:/

Though it may bring him woe/

That beard has to go/

He’s a sheep who needs to be Sheared

Johann and his fleas once again prove, if you’ve got money you can date way out of your league.

He’s the Epstein of Budapest:/

As this woman/child seems to attest/

Oh, the things she has seen !/

(Though she’s barely fifteen)./

Yet he still isn’t under arrest !

And here I thought — based on her wry smile — his beard was giving her something entirely different.

Henryk if you insist on wearing a beard please comb out the fur balls……

Her smile belies hidden knowledge: His body hair stops at his beard.

“So, still interested in that menage?”

Looks like he has ‘Roman hands’ and ‘Russian fingers’ to me.

I don’t remember having seen another portrait from that period where the people were so relaxed and affectionate.

That’s why she wears a wig.

When the lights came up in the cinema at the end of the movie he thought to himself “For all that time was I caressing her elbow?”

Michael didn’t like his name so he decided to re-Brand himself.

(syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and Brave search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string WGA, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting. 

Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #803 (March 26, 2012) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. 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 (3 times total, including this repeat), the October 25, 2012, strip being its first use. GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the new lines in my comment there; but, perhaps the text remains informative. The November 27, 2012, strip has the latest by him (Gocomics did the same to my comment there).

The two look happy. They must be cheating on their spouses.

this beard comes off when your dress come off dear.

“Composer Mihaly Masonyl and his Wife”

Some comments from 10/25/2012:

Linguist: Show us where the fleas are !

orinoco womble: Traditionally in Europe the ring is worn on the Left hand during engagement, on the Right after marriage. I have worn my wedding ring on the R hand for 30 years.
