That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 09, 2014

Auditions for summer stock production of Kismet.

A “used slave” salesman?

That’s one way to get rid of your redheaded stepchild….

I hope the woman in pink’s not about to do what I think she’s about to do.

The first ever recorded police line-up. It turned out to be a set-up for the tall guy.

they are not called slaves anymore. it is called bonded labor. and, it still exists in the world today.

“The Slave Market”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Slave_Market

Enlarged image can be found here or at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.The Slave Market (link shows painting’s Wikipedia page) is privately owned. Looking for it took me to this hopefully accurate Slavery in the U.S. timeline (if you’re interested).A different coloration image can be found here; but several such images are available online. It is 34 seconds into this video (fullscreen is active)

showing several works by the artist. His Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page is longer) and collection (more under Subcategories).

Somehow, just not funny today. Just depressing. So little has changed.

Sign says, “Exquisite Bond [Servants] Dealer”. Obviously hyperbole!

This strip is not funny at all….lot of misery shown there!

The best stuff’s found at the bottom.
