That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 21, 2023

Carmen thought the boy across the alley was the sweetest thing, but her duenna considered him foolish little nerd.

Ya, he’s really putting his whole body into waxing that car.

Mrs. Grundy’s daughter, Chastity, was seen about town with an obvious “baby bump.” From then on nobody gave a hoot about “What would Mrs. Grundy say?”

/// These Two Women at a Window can see a

nervous suitor who would woo young Maria.

Duenna stifles a laugh

at the bumbling boy’s gaffe.

Did he bring roses? No— a tortilla.

Maria was relieved to finally be alone in a room and could “let ’er rip.” Her mother, sadly, was cursed with bad timing.

Living next door to the Naturist Club had its benefits.

Rosalind and her Mom really enjoyed watching ‘The Village Idiot Parade’. Today we call it reality TV……..we all know what shows I’m talking about.

“He really is an idiot, isn’t he?”

One of them is definitely snickering

Conchita, the Spanish nanny,/

Remarked to herself “it’s uncanny !/

I do love the lass,/

But the kid passes gas/

Whenever I stand near her ‘fanny’!”

As the fetid aroma of last night’s paella tainted the air of the small room, young Concepcion’s maid determined to find a new employer. She loved the girl as if she were her own child, but the gaseous effusions had become simply intolerable…

" Good-bye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona

See you, me and Julio

“Ewww, did he really do that? What a stink.”

“If he didn’t want me spying on him getting out of the shower, he’d put curtains on the window.”

“I don’t know, Elizabeth. His pickle is barely visible.”

Hey, vacuuming naked was a heck of a task in 1665, ‘mostly done by mouth, and it gave a whole different meaning to ’dust balls’.

Definitely not the reaction I get when I vacuum naked.

First Other versions entry (the link) has the strip coloration image.

That larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #465 (1/29/11) (September 20, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 5 works by this artist have been used here (6 times total, including this Throwback Thursday), the April 2, 2012, strip being its first use. GoComics has deactivated the hyperlinks and removed the new lines in my comment and reply there; but, perhaps the text remains informative. The October 18, 2018, strip has the prior by him.

Murillo was supposed to be painting the male nude model, but found the spectators more interesting.

“Do you think he knows what he stepped in?” they mused.

the ladies looking for their boyfriends who are coming back from fishing and stink of fish, (a pleasant smell for the gals).

Pedro, the putz of Pamplona/

Was addicted to cans of Corona/

He consumed quite a bit/

While he swept up bull $#i+../

So in bed he was always alone-a. (Nobody’s perfect!)

Original comments that I liked …

@Dogsniff: They’re wondering what he’s going to suck up with that little hose.

…

@Picto: Wait till they catch sight of your crevice tool. It’s enough to make a Venetian blind.

@Call me Ishmael: is that his participle dangling?

Have I been doing this since 2018?! The accumulated damage must be incalculable…
