That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 20, 2024

/// Aboriginal Australian Man,

representing his Mob and his Clan,

carved a tool out of wood

and he thought it was good,

but it’s crafted without any plan.

/// Is it used to launch spears that he threw?

Shovel? Club? Paddle for a canoe?

Many tools seem combined,

and it’s hollow you’ll find,

‘cause it’s also a didgeridoo.

Dude! put your pants on!

When I said that your field hockey team was ‘skins’, I didn’t mean …. that!

An American with a Italian/Greek/German name; so where does he go to paint? Australia.

I think I stepped in some didgeridoo.

And starting in goal for the Perth “Amboys”…

Do you mind if I play through?

Waiting for ice to play ice hockey.

After a bit of sprucing up, this guy became famous doing TV commercials for the hotels dot com website.

You call that a golf club. This is a golf club

“Ok let’s get this Phi Beta Kappa hazing started.”

Everyone meet Raygun the breaker dancer’s older brother, Ganu, the one man hockey team

I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment and reply pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 2 works by him have been used here, the February 18, 2022, strip being the prior.

In Australia it sometimes occurs/

That they cover their privates in furs/

And they choose Kangaroos

(What else could they use ?)/

To cover both his and hers..///

And since, when you’re swaddled in furs/

The distinction between sexes blurs/

A growth called a beard”/

Has sometimes appeared/

To distinguish the “Madams” from “Sirs”..

No expense was spared in the worldwide search for an orchestra to play at Trump 2024 fundraising events. Unfortunately, this was the only musician that would work for scale.

Gurumarra’s circumcision went tragically astray.

“The Land of Giants.”

I’m afraid that it’s trite – but it’s true/

Few play well on the didgeridoo../

There are are plenty of “so-so’s”/

But few virtuosos/

So all I can say is “boo-hoo”…

well, i hope this doesn’t boomerang

A deleted storyboard from Castaway where Chuck rues breaking his only paddle over Wilson after Wilson talked back to him.

“What do you mean, ‘Do I play hockey?’ ?”

“Yes, it’s a big putter. It’s symbolic.”

Walk softly and carry a big stick.

Some just can’t resist overcompensating for their lack of “manhood.”

for some reason the vacuume he invented just didn’t work, maybe later.

Early golfer with his sand wedge.

“As soon as the ice age comes, we’ll get up a scratch hockey game, guys. And pads are for sissies.”

One heck of a sand wedge!
