That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 21, 2017

“Take a break, I’ve brought you your morning share of vodka.”

OK, you know that old saying about the shoe makers’ children? Well, forget about it. I want the next pair you make or you can haul your own water.

Never trust a shoemaker who works in slippers. Check out the guy’s feet!

If I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down. I’ll be Texas bound and a flying.

Suicide by hammer in early Russia was neither quick nor painless

Working on Croc prototype.

“It would probably work better if there was a handle on it, pops.”

“Don’t be sad, Papa. I’ll sell myself on the streets and use the money to buy you some nails.”

Look kid it’s the only way to kill beard bugs.

The shoemaker’s son goes shoeless.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1692 (April 20, 2017) entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box below the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.

Oh if I had a hammer, I’d get hammered in the morning…

nailed it…

Nailed it!

The actual title of the painting would make a pretty funny caption and comments jumping off point: Russian farmer with boy who gets up early.
