That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 18, 2024

/// When The Soldier of Marathon cried:

“We’re VICTORIOUS!”— right then he died.

Against Persia they’d fought

and the good news he brought,

but he just couldn’t take it in stride.

So….this is your audition for only fans?

“Oh my Gods, dude. Lay off the souvlaki if you’re not going to wear a toga! Pee-eww!”

“Pull—eze can I have the chariot tonight, Dad?”

Flatus Prolongus demonstrates his talent for passing gas.

Yep, been there, done that.

Missed it by that much.

He arrived being naked and flush, But the distance was a tad just too much, The people all cried, When they realized he had died, But they wondered “What was the rush”?

What I want to know is why was he fighting the Persians naked? Was he hoping that they would look away in horror? Or did he misunderstand the meaning of ‘sword fight’?

He lost his clothes as he slid into home base.

“We won in the end, but not before they had destroyed all our clothes.”

Ooooo, road rash….

His posterior seems to delight/

that fellow in brown on the right/

Pheidippides rear/

Is the main focus here:/

(By the way – the Greeks won the fight.)

Are the guys in the stands doing the wave? :)

Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #2090 (11/29/18) (July 17, 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 November 29, 2018, strip being its first use.

P.S. My Tuesday comment was not deleted afterall; so, don’t blame the Moderator for it not being there sooner.

NIKE!

modesty prevales during the nude limbo contest. doing it face/etc. down.

/// Unless both guys were willing to “wrassle,”

pushing through that wild crowd was a hassle.

And so neither got far,

both Harold & Kumar

never got to that background White Castle.
