That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 08, 2021

“I don’t care if you are the ‘GREAT’ Diogenes — I want you out of my house!”

Dog: “Hey dummy, I’ll show you how to attract those women.”

The three ladies in the back are casting glances at the sketchy bum talking to his dog. If they were a little closer, they would be able to hear the dog’s replies, and the glances would be a lot less disgusted.

“So Baldy, I’ve been wondering, since you don’t have a tail, how do you show your emotions?”

“ ‘Master’, my a*s! You Bogart that joint any longer, I’ll rip your throat out!”

No offense Margaret but Stuart has really gone to the dogs.

“Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!”

Here lies Diogenes/ he’s not even dead, if you please./ He’s incredibly wise/ but he cannot arise/ due to badly arthritic knees.

The Athenian homeless problem was solved for almost nothing. Pericles merely reclassified them all as stoic philosophers, and distributed free barrels. He was one of “Plato’s Republicans”.

“Excuse me sir, have you a bone?”

The only thing worse than being talked about, is NOT being talked about …

Unless your dog is the one doing the talking. Then it’s the opposite.

Don’t care what you did to upset the wife, this is still my house

“Ruth-Anne….I know you just gave Harry a flea bath, but you’ll never get rid of those fleas unless you give the dog a flea bath too!”

The Gods have it under control.

The very first utterance of “The more I know about people, the better I like my dog.”

Hard to don apparel when you wake up in a barrel in the mornin’..even with a hand up it is difficult to stand up in the mornin’..

Lucky: Can I borrow your lantern? I’m looking for an honest dog.

Dave looks like he needs that treat.

Portia’s sniffer dog, trained to scent enormous wealth, saw right through Marco’s disguise.

“Just leave me alone! If it’s not ‘Come quick, Timmy’s fallen into the well!’ it’s ‘Here, doesn’t this smell like the schnauzer down the block?’ I have had it with you! I had a date with one of those ladies until you showed up, and now she and her friends are laughing at me!”

Border Collie trying to strike a bargain for leg humping.

Diogenes: Let me be clear – you say you only do it because “you can”? Interesting.

“Boss, I hate to disturb your lunch, but there are three crazy ladies outside, who insist on talking to you. Want me to just bite ’em and send ’em on their way?”

“Which one is that horrible smell coming from?”

“Fine, you released me from the amphora, so I owe you. But you get three like anyone else, not twenty-one in ‘dog-wishes.’”

Lassie and Diogenie

Due to Lucky’s ultra-keen sense of smell Dave is required to chew one huge breath mint thrice daily.

“Sure, it’s a week-old dead mouse, but it’s MY week-old dead mouse and it’s all for me.”

Looks like the neighbor border collie that jumps their electric line to chase deer and then comes over to our house so we can take his shock collar off and escort him back home.

“Oh, I make sure to put him in the doghouse about once a week. The make-up sex is incredible.”

“No, Lucky, I’m not interested in the women. You’re the one for me.”

I said I was looking for an honest man and you brought me three women. Go fetch a lantern for me and I’ll do it myself.

“You’re looking for a man who’ll never ‘fake throw’ a tennis ball? Sorry, Patch. Nobody’s THAT honest.”

Unless something gets added to the title URL that points to info about the artist, I couldn’t find anything about him/her online. This is the first work by him/her used here.

“Speak!”

“You’re in my light, mutt.”

A dog named Alexander…makes more sense than the legend…

Actually ladies, if he were cleaned up and shaved, I might be interested in him!

by A. N. Agram

to show the ladies how humble he is silas sat in the doorway of spikes house’spike said I’ll let you fake this but only till bedtime.

Diogenes wasn’t interested in joining the dog in a duet.

Well … yes, he doesn’t look like much. But if half of what is written on the bathroom wall is true, he’s worth it.

What a good boy!

You don’t mean that YOU are Dab Watney? The inventor of the Inverted firken!! Well, I am just a poor stock taker… :>)
