That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 29, 2017

Great Moments In History: The discovery of air sickness.

DOWNWIND, you fool!!

Looks more like the moment right before the Wizard got whisked away to Oz by a tornado.

Just don’t put the fire out!

@Masterskrain: In a balloon, you are moving at the speed of the wind, so there is no downwind. So just pick a target on the ground to aim for — and allow for wind age. ;^)

Nah….turn the balloon upside down. That’s what it’s for, stoopid.

Guinness was there to witness the world’s largest Poo-Poo cushion.

Who knew Jules Verne painted under an alias?

A couple of girls will add a whole new dimension to the group. A Fifth Dimension.

Up, up and away…

just make sure you direct your hot air towards the opening of the balloon!

Jules Tavernier, an American artist born and educated in France, was more likely to be up in the balloon basket than down on the ground painting it. Here’s a good article on him.

And next question…which is port and which is starboard when there’s no prow or stern?

Just take a “dump” over the side and be done with it.

has the prior work (which, sadly, still has the 14 hyperlinks in my comment there, inactive @#$%&!).

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1835 (November 28, 2017) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.

80 Days? Are you kidding Day 2 and I’m already bored out of my mind.

Pee as much as you like, wherever you like…. we need to lose weight.

I told you to go before we left home.
