    Parrots and cats are very good at teaching spoiled toddlers about boundaries.

    So I guess this is what passes for high comedy in late 19th-century France, given the one woman’s reaction.

    That’s the one I want. But can I have it grilled instead of boiled?

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carolus-Duran_-_Merrymakers_(1870).jpg 

    (best viewed by Google Chrome – can translate pages if necessary) has info and links that point to info about this Carolus-Duran painting.

     

    https://www.wga.hu/bio_m/c/carolus/biograph.html 

    has info about this artist. So far, 2 works by him have been used here.

     

    http://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2013/12/11?comments=visible 

    has the prior work (which, sadly, still has the 16 hyperlinks in my comment there, inactive @#$%&!).

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1809 (October 23, 2017) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.

    Prequel: The bird was modelling for Annette. As Annette displayed her origami, Jane failed to perform the Heimlich maneuver because the baby was so cute. Zelda died with a smile on her face anyway. Then the health inspector arrived.
