That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 12, 2011

What will I do with this kid???

Hand him over to your servants to raise. You are Pharaoh’s daughter, after all.

Oyster on the half shell!! Just get some tartar sauce and steam it in beer!

SURPRISE!!!

I smell re-gift

Wow, she wasn’t kidding. His father really WAS a snake!

Don’t all babies arrive this way? That’s where my mother said I was found.

Dang, another homemade gift.

Whats with the baby’s legs and feet?

“You sure this is approved for use in ox-carts?”

Secret Santa etiquette means that there should be a receipt . . .

The best part is the sound-proof lid.

“So – I don’t get a pony ?”

Yeah, that gift is definitely “Phlemish”

This isn’t what I asked for…!

Let’s just say the child was born and his or hers first bed was a basket.

Now is the gift the baby or the Ronco Baby Steamer?

All I can say is, “Hahahaha!”

Yeah, I know…whenever you go to the laundromat, you always find stuff that isn’t yours in your basket!!

“Wow!!! He looks like he might be Jewish!”

This was painted by Pee Wee Herman?

Enlarged (click image, and then again for really close up, or the other sizes). Painting discussed here. The artist used a similar theme in a 1615 painting. So far, 4 works by this artist have appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog.

Here is another work Mr. Melcher attributes to this artist.

Maybe it’s less of a “bad” gift and more of a “lazy mother” gift.

,,All I want for Christmast is you.." “That’s great!” “NOT YOU!!!”
