That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 02, 2024

/// Breakfast time. “Morning games,” Mother joked.

But it’s really harsh medicine cloaked.

She had trained little Meg

how to sit up and beg

for a sugar cube… castor oil soaked.

Dog under the table: Hey! That’s my biscuit.

Do you wanna’ play “this little piggy” again?

Since it came in a sugar cube, administering the Sabin polio vaccine could easily be done at home.

“The day is divided into two important sections: Mealtimes and everything else.” What the Dogs Have Taught Me: And Other Amazing Things I’ve LearnedMerrill Markoe (b. 1948)

are all the kids trained?

Fido got revenge for Beverly stealing his treats by piddling on her pillow.

“Such a good girl, yes you are.”

You can have a cookie when you’re this tall

Though in relative comfort they dwell/

They still use the neighborhood well:/

If she make it to five/

And is somehow alive/

What a tale she will have to tell..///

Mother shudders whenever she sneezes/

There are ninety four childhood diseases/

That dwell in the well/

But nobody can tell/

And the only known “cure” is Jesus..

Say please……..

Finally she dropped the cell phone so Mom could get it back … the treat worked!

The dog says, no, no, no, you’re doing it all wrong!!!!!!! :)

“Youre right, Mom. She does have something stuck to the roof of her mouth.”

Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1369 (January 25, 2016) 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. I also added a reply to update my 1/25/16 comment that I left back before Mr. Melcher and I started doing that via email. So far, 3 works by this artist have been used here (4 times total, including this repeat), the January 25, 2016, 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 24, 2017, strip has the latest by him.

fi fi will get that treat or suzy will die

Some comments from the 01/25/2016 posting:

BE THIS GUY: “Ok sweetie, here comes a flying object that won’t be invented for another 62 years.”

orinoco womble: The last time this kid will be asked to “Speak!”. Hereinafter the command will change to, “QUIET!”.

Funny_Ha_Ha: A spoonfull of sugar …

cameron_scarlett: Ken-L Ration, Kid tested, Mother approved!

Now all I have to do is find Daddy, and we can finally have breakfast!

Scooby snacks are for everyone
