That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 16, 2023

“Today, we will fight the Danish! Tomorrow, the strudels!”

Oh god, I’m so drunk! Get that barrel over here so I can puke!

And it’s because of officers like Captain Aszhat that noncoms are the key to having a competent army.

Hurry, there is a Starbucks ahead and I need to use the washroom! (my original comment)

/// The Swede, Magnus Stenbock, here is seated

on his horse facing foes he defeated.

The Danes at Helsingborg,

which now smells like a morgue

from horse corpses left when they retreated.

/// Magnus fans his hat. This act dispels

just a bit of the foul wind-borne smells.

The sickening stench is

from bodies in trenches,

and those purposely thrown into wells.

Westward Ho! Wait a sec, isn’t that where we started from? Who has the compass?

Hats off yo Larry, he broke her heart.

Actually, that was the drummer’s hat. It was confiscated for the greater good.

Sing along with Magnus: “My Hat It Has Three Corners…”

I am the very model of a modern major general.

Thanks to Captain Wrongway and a ban on shrooms, no future Marines marched into the ocean to search for and fight the Atlantian enemy.

“Last one to the Bastille is a rotten oeuf!”

Bill got a bit over dramatic for a trip to Dollar General

“EVERYBODY! Join me in the chorus while my horse taps out the lyrics. ‘Oh, my darling, knock three time On the ceiling if you want me…’”

When the Swedes defeated the Danes,

Soon thereafter they went to some pains/

To occupy regions/

Once held by Norwegians :/

Might the Swedes be deficient in brains ?///

When at last they achieved “liberation”/

And were able to have their own nation/

They gathered their forces/

And attacked fellow “Norses”/

Not averse to some colonization..///

Pennsylvania- from which Ishmael’s sprung-

May also be numbered among/

Places Sweden once ruled/

(If you’re properly schooled)/..

Swedish holdings were once quite far-flung!

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!

" O.K. men, when I put my hat back on, it’s the signal for you to charge. Go forward with all your might! I’ll be right behind you…"

“Fight like h€££…I’ll be there with you..”

Early beginnings of frisbee golf

Captain James attempts to wave away the gigantic fart he released before the men realizes it was from him.

New Orleans is this way men! ♫We looked down a river and we see’d the British come And there must have been a hundred of ‘em beatin’ on the drum They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring We stood behind our cotton bales and didn’t say a thing♫

“And away we go!!!”

“ Onward and upward…whatever!”

“That’s the third hat of mine this jerk’s stolen this month! I should just buck him off.”

File history has the strip coloration image (last one).

Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #2579 (11/16/20) (November 15, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, only work by him used here (2 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat), the November 16, 2020, strip being its first use.

That time immortalized when Mick was getting so carried away with his tambourine that he was knocking Charlie off beat!

Jimmy Page forgot his guitar!!!!!!! :)

I found my hat. It was on top of my head.

“It’s so kind of them to toss me vegetables and eggs! I should have enough for lunch in no time!”

God so help us, we will find that Waldo and do away with this maddness!

“Magnus Stenbock at Helsinborg,” 1892

johnny depp heads off for another spending spree…

We have no reliable stats/

on the fabrication of hats/

or the methods they used/

to keep women enthused/

Like festooning the brims with dead cats..

So we shifted from fur to feathers/And we shifted from cats to leathers/Now the cats are a bane/and the birds on the wane/ but the milliners feel much better..
