That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 06, 2023

When he grew up, he put his parents in the cheapest nursing home in Buenos Aires.

/// Eduardo hates posing; it’s gross.

His expression is glum and morose.

He is dressed up in pomp

near a dank fetid swamp.

If they’d let him, he’d say, “Adios!”

The Giant as a child, before his family moved up the beanstalk.

Roger’s mother had warned him about creepy old men offering to take his picture.

Robert De Niro used this image as an inspiration for his role in Taxi Driver. “Are you talking to me?”

Nice ’fro…bro! Glad you made it out off “burning man”

/// Eddie Munster, (he claims), but bleached blond.

Well, if so, changes went way beyond

the light tint of his hair.

There’s no widow’s peak there!

Were his eyebrows plucked? Steve… you’ve been conned.

“My mum made me get my hair cut for the painting.”

Let’s see, beautiful lake, sunshine, sailboats… I know, I’ll pose him by this dirt blob.

If you post this on FB, I will end you.

He often dressed and posed this way to attract bullies and prove his toughness. “One day,” he thought, “they’ll all fear the name ‘Chuck Norris’.”

“So Tommy, are you excited for school to start?”

After being humiliated, El Cachafaz swore he’d get the last laugh. And he did.

They’re creepy and they’re spooky

OMG!…..He looks just like me as a kid! AAAAAARGH!

Looks like Bobby Hill.

You can tell by his gloomy expression/

That he isn’t enjoying this session/

In fact he is p1$$ed/

But his parents insist/

(He swears he won’t go to confession.)///

Now he’s standing beside a butte/

It makes no sense at all/

To be dressed for a ball-/

But he is – because they think it’s cute.///

When his parents are old and gray/

He swears they are going to pay:/

He’s seething in silence/

As he contemplates violence-/

But will that really happen? No way.

Huck Finn realizes it was a mistake to let the Widow Douglas adopt him.

No wonder Rush Limbaugh turned out the way he did!

When she said you can catch a feel…I thought she was talking baseball. Gee whiz!

He’s not fat. His mother says he has big bones.

The first time Jonathan Winters did Chester Honeyhugger

I believe that is a blonde Pugsley Addams.

The subject, thirty seconds after taking off his hat and thirty seconds before getting a wicked sunburn.

Looks more like recent photos of Brian Wilson.

I warned you, that if you talked back to me again, your punishment would be memorialized forever in a painting! Now come here and get this haircut!

Bobby Hills great grandfather.

The facial expression that says Why couldn’t I wear a cowboy outfit like the other kids?

Nobody liked the chubby kid in knickers. That’s why he became a lawyer.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3182 (September 5, 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 pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. Only work by him used here so far.

his parents kept him in boy clothes, but he wanted to be a girl, all those frilly things to wear.

Although the comments may elicit snickers, of the lad’s smile there is nary a flicker, he wanted to ride, with that boat on the tide, but was refused because of his knickers.

Clearly that’s Bobby from King of the Hill, lol.

“Portrait of Eduardo Lahitte Uribelarrea,” 1868

He seems to have more of a Pugsley Addams vibe.

Would you hurry up! These paints touched the shoes when you started painting!

Eduardo Uribelarrea/

Had a truly unique idea:/

He thought chloroquine

Might cure Argentine/

Strains of (take your pick) gono/ Leuco/ pyo/ dia/ rrhea …

Where’s his Woofie?

‘So would you if your mother dressed you like this!”

Donald, when papa told him slum lords don’t get to hang with Kanye, Kardashian’s, and Jeff Epstein. Lil Donny decided bankruptcy, stick it to the man, will get him to the Beautiful People Circle.
