    /// Brenna leans out her window and learns,

    only two streets away A House Burns.

    With a cough she awoke

    to the sharp smell of smoke.

    Oddly, now for a bratwurst she yearns.

    The neighbors never forgave Johann Geyer for setting up that painting.

    She heard sirens, and then saw the flash/

    And she knew she must gather her “stash”/

    As quick as she could/

    For Chicago was wood/

    And that wood would all soon become ash.///

    It has something to do with a cow/

    (Nobody remembers) – but now/

    The prevalent theory/

    Is that Missus O’Leary/

    Is to blame – but nobody knows how…///

    The place was rebuilt overnight/

    And this time they did the job right/

    Now it’s much better known/

    For a guy called Capone/

    Is that fire forgotten ? Not quite…

    Hilda had thought the Witch Burning was TOMORROW night! She had a whole box of Woke books she also wanted to toss into the flames. Now she’d have to wait for Walpurgis Night, that was always so crowded.

    Bob was warned not to hold a lit match near his butt after eating beans. So of course he had to see what might happen.

    Suzy was excited. She had heard about but never actually been to a fire sale.

    Miss Brahms was right. If I had been sleeping au naturale, the firemen would have saved me first.

    A House Burns

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:1842 in Germany" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string Geyer, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly large postcard size painting. 

    Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #1765 (8/24/17) (January 24, 2024) 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 August 24, 2017, strip being its first use.
