That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 09, 2024

Yes, all this is mine. And one day, it will all be strip malls.

/// “A Parisian Hotel?” her groom mocks,

“That’s for rich folks, who own bonds and stocks.

Learn to like what I like,

like The Honeymoon hike.”

(Their young marriage is now on the rocks.)

“We’ll build our quaint little cabin down there. Just think of the lovely daily hike you’ll take up to the supply store."

It was bound to happen. An artist I’ve heard of before. (Thanks to Rachmaninov’s “Isle of the Dead”, based on a Böcklin painting.)

Didn’t I hold a selfie stick a second ago?

“Did you see my sister leave? She was sitting behind me a second ago, and now it’s like she’s vanished into thin air.”

“You dragged me all the way out here to make a ‘calling your bluff’ joke?”

Well, this is for a little less commitment. It’s “Lovers Hop”

The young archeologists suddenly realized that their careers were in ruins.

“… and after we have 6 kids, you’ll look just as pretty as the day we met…”

Their relationship was rocky from the start./

One was bound to be broken of heart/

He was destined to dump ‘er/

For she was a Trumper:/

Twas Donald who drove them apart.

And after our kids are tired of playing in the dirt over there, they can climb that rock; just imagine all the broken bones you’ll get to help mend!

Lab made rocks are as good as natural made rocks or so the lab lobby says.

I guarantee you it is better in a bed……….

She was hoping for Dwayne Johnson.

Good luck getting your rocks off, Dude.

“And when we’re married, we’ll settle in and make a farm right here…”

They start mansplaining so young. :)

It looks dark and dreary now, but with a fresh coat of paint the cave will perk right up.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3424 (December 9, 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 and reply pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 6 works by him (8 times total, including 2 repeats) have been used here, the March 24, 2022, strip being the prior (a repeat). The December 14, 2016, strip has the prior non-repeat by him.

ta dum tss

marry me and all this will be yours, I’ll be elsewhere

“if you dont stop bedding every man you meet your nether regions will look like this”

The Sea Witch sold Olive Oyl a potion which was, when sprinkled on Popeye’s spinach, guaranteed to make take her to look at a diamond. He never knew why he took her to a baseball game.

LOL! Thank you for this one. Can’t stop giggling.

Granted it’s only a promontory now, but with your dowry we can work our way up to an archipelago in no time…

“Those are the gates of Hell, my dear, Where you and I must go.”

The ring on his finger goes through his nose.
