That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 04, 2012

He can pull it off.

Unless they’re made of brass, that’s a ‘no’.

I still don’t know why that’s a big deal. I do recall that ‘Pearls Before Swine’ mocked it once.

Looks a little lite in the loafers and wondering what the cabin boy is doing while on shore leave.

Liberace, wondering if his piano would look better by the tallboy.

He polished up the handle so carefully, that now he is the ruler of the Queen’s Navy!

Wearing those tights, all he has to do is look down at himself.

I look at these paintings, and I think about how long it takes to do an oil painting, and I wonder…how can a person hold such a silly pose for so long without realising they’re gonna look like a total dweeb for all posterity to mock?

“Hmmmm…black shoes, or white pumps? What do you think?”

Looks like he’s plotting something!

And, now… I think I will walk through that door…"

Saturday Night Fever, the Elizabethan version.

I not sure, from this angle, but he looks like a Rear Admiral.

The enlarged image can be found in many locations online, including the only work by this artist to, so far, appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.Eavesdropping is privately owned. As I said, the image is in several places, like here or here, both also showing other works by this artist. But none say who the subject is, etc. The artist currently has no Wikipedia page. His son’s German Wikipedia page (Google translation) has a little about the artist. A biography can be found here (Google translation, Bing translation).

Check out the picture on Dec. 1, 2011. Another pic of Liberace’s early years.

Hey, his hat and shoes are black. That should save him from the fashion police.

When the temp is over 100* as it is in Oklahoma, we continue to wear white, anything cool, we have in the closet

British admiral falls on his sword, wonders if it will hurt much,

This strip was repeated here (has my updated notes about the painting).
