That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 13, 2023

Accurate scale size sculpture of the artist.

“It was cold when I posed for this.”

It’s not a doll, it’s an action figure!

The police sketch artist had a real passion for his job.

When Lana sees this she’ll stop laughing at me.

Posing for thiss one was chilling. Shrinkage. Tell her about shrinkage.

“But I only sleep with it when the guy who posed for it is out of town.”

Gustav was impressed with the sculptor’s “Gustav Out Of The Swimming Pool” piece. He just wished the sculptor would have “exaggerated a bit” with certain details.

Realizing you could have bought the statue with a head for the same price

Was it made of chocolate?

Paolo was known for the anatomical accuracy of his sculptures. Unfortunately, Ricardo, his model, wasn’t such a big fan.

Too bad Sol isn’t around for this one. But Ish did a pretty good job.

That awkward moment when your mother walks I to your room and catches you playing with yourself!

In a feeble attempt to seem clever/

I’m gambling this comment may sever/

My fragile connection/

to my treasured collection

Of friends whom I could lose forever///

It’s an anatomical wonder/

that threatens once more to sunder/

my putrescent presence/

from my posse of peasants*/

I hope not a terminal blunder!

Wife: I wanted to pose for him but he chose Albert….later Albert chose me!

Unfortunately Edward didn’t have enough lung power to fully inflate his doll.

Alberto Vittici, proudly showing off his sculpture of David Desperately Not Wanting To Be Seen With Alberto Vittici.

I wanted Lady Justice but Hedley Lamar has her trapped in his office.

So it’s Sol’s turn to be banished?

The REAL story of Pygmalion…

Dr Grange had a collection of items he had removed in his office.

“See what happens when you use steroids.”

What is that in the lower left corner?

¡¡¡ FREE OUR POETS, WAGS, & WITS FROM EXILE !!! (ಥ‸ಥ)

Even when he brought it in for show and tell people still didn’t believe aliens had turned his brother into a statue.

“Pardon me, Madame, but you want me to make it bigger?”

Alessandro Vittoria (1524/25–1608):

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3147 (June 13, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 3 works by him have been used here, the November 26, 2013, strip being the prior. GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the video and most new lines in my comment there; but, perhaps the text remains informative.

Alessandro is one of the best/

he’s passed (and surpassed!) every test/

he’s a master at nudes/

how I wish he would give it a rest !

“One day there will be a real man.”

he was so tight he had to trade the bigger statue on left for smaller one, it did fit nicely.

Alessandro is one of the best/

But he sculpts at the Pope’s behest/.

Veronese just paints/

(Mostly virgins and Saints)/

Neither one ever sees a real breast….///

Michelangelo seems to detest/

anything that resembles a breast/

his attempts make us laugh:/

he cuts grapefruits in half/

And then plants them with glue on her chest.

I heard that a women recently tried to join the “moments of phallic portraiture”.

Don’t feel bad - I didn’t get to join either.

/// Alessandro Vittoria posed

with his sculpture, and its pose disclosed

that it won’t show its face

’cause it fears the disgrace

of its wee genitalia exposed.

/// Or, perhaps the true source of disgrace is

to be found in two whole other places.

Painted statues are mocked:

One head’s missing, one’s blocked.

Can it be that he just can’t sculpt faces?
