Again, a slightly larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #1601 (12/14/16) (March 23, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu. I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. So far 5 works, by this artist, have been used here (7 times total, including a later different caption repeat, and this Throwback Thursday repeat). The February 16, 2018, strip has the prior (the different caption repeat; my comment there has 5 of the artist info URLs, 1 has since disappeared, pointed to by the here links in my blog entry comment).

Things ain’t always what they appear/
But whatever is happening here/
She’s bound to escape/
From the probable rape/
When the stud gets a spear in the rear.

Since he was cut from the Budweiser Wagon Team, Herb’s been a real pest with the ladies.

/// Tugging hard at her long purple cape,
Nessus tried Deianira to rape.
While she pulled at his beard
Both made faces so weird
That brave Heracles stared, mouth agape.

Again with the right side titillation. Aren’t there any left-handed centaur-rapists?

That centaur is about the get a spear-tip enema.

That’s the ugliest centaur that I ever saw.

Yea. I’ve been to square dances that looked like that.

The centaur’s a seldom-seen beast/
Whose numbers have only decreased/
The few who remain/
Could never sustain/
Their ilk, so the species has ceased.///
Likewise for the satyr and faun:/
For centuries both have been gone/
From the forests and woods/
Though in some neighborhoods/
You may see a few on a lawn.

/// Too bad “Priceless” got posted so late.
Counting this Comment, just 28

and that sets a low bar
for this painting— potentially great.
/// Take a look at their grimacing faces,
and where Hercules weapon he places.
