    There can’t be a better audience than the readers of this strip for this:

    I’m just hearing about the #gettymuseumchallenge where they are asking people to recreate famous paintings from household objects while quarantining. They are astounding and hilarious! Mabrndt in particular, check out this one:

    I’m sure this has something to do with the Easter Bunny but I need help figuring this one out!

    This was also posted late on 4/11, but today’s seems to have lost the caption, which was “Which quarantine house would you choose?”

    I don’t know if I’ more puzzled by these four paintings or the fact that we have a Sunday That Is Priceless.

    The first, with that poor woman, nursing/ I’d swiftly repair by dispersing/ those cherubs, apace/ each to his proper space/ though I’m sure there’d be wailing and cursing.. Then on to the wrestling match/ though there might be a bit of a catch/ and those buttocks (pure white !)/in the foreground, just might/ inspire me to leave – with dispatch !

    The couple. alone, clad in black/ are spending some time on the rack/ of marital strife !/ poor husband and wife../ I’d advise them to “take to the sack”.. The last stop on my “Easter Crawl”/ would be at the drunken brawl/ twixt two chaps in peruques/ (until one of them pukes !)/ There – I think I have covered them ALL.

    today’s That is Priceless has me flummoxed! I keep going over the four pictures again and again and I can’t get Mr. Melcher’s meaning! I hope he reads the comments and helps us out with an explanation!

    Mr. Melcher also posted the following yesterday:

    If you’re interested, That Is Priceless makes an appearance today in a WashPo article by writer and fellow GoComics creator Michael Cavna. Thanks, Michael! https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2020/04/11/art-memes-hopper-scream-last-supper-purell-earring/

    Sorry, all! Through a technical glitch, I somehow re-posted over yesterday’s post, and without the caption, “Which Quarantine House Would You Choose?” The corrected version will hopefully appear shortly. And no, it has nothing to do with the holiday. Just a “bonus” post.

    One guy in painting #3 is watching the nude guys wrestle, while the other guy is completely uninterested.
