That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 30, 2019

Ask him if he has a brother.

“You sure this is the right guy? He really doesn’t look like the profile picture.”

“I told him if he brings the gin and we bring the Campari then we could make a night of it.”

He’s cute alright. But don’t trust a guy that wears his bowling shoes all the time.

Even in those days, white socks with dress shoes was tacky!!

“Mary I think that’s Peter Sellers”

“I knew him when he was called Brenda.”

“…that was sweet of him. Tell him l think he’s cute too!”

“I’m just a gigolo everywhere I go. People know the part I’m playing”

I think he just figured out that his zipper is down.

I mean, just the fact that he’s here with us.. you know.. in this room. lmao .. smiling like that.. c’mon, let’s go for some absinthe, he’ll be fine by himself..

Bruce pretends to work on his embroidery while leaning in for the gossip.

Overly social conscious, Thomas tries to avoid man-spreading.

It’s not polite to talk about a guys peanuts.

Polyorchidism?

“Did he just do the one cheek sneak?”

Ask him where he gets those exquisite white panty-hose.

Do you think we should tell him this is the ladies lounge?

Gossip while waiting at the doctor’s office..

Look, he’s talking to his imaginary friend..

all have info about this artist (who I still believe died in 1931). So far, 19 works (20 times, including 1 repeat) by him have been used here.

has the prior work, like this, another of the several he did while in Venice:

My comment at that prior strip pointed to that and the artist info URLs.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2127 (January 29, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. Note: Panter Women at lower left, seen here, there, and in other online images, is not part of the painting.

“I told you: You can dress him up, but he’s still basically a chimp.”

Interesting that none of the chairs match. Different height back (that’s not the couch on the right because it wouldn’t match the left side), different shaped legs.

“Dear, when you see a man holding his hat over (ahem) that area, its polite to pretend you haven’t noticed anything.”

“I thought I’d pee myself when he told us about his career as an organ grinder, but I kept it together!”

I hate to tell him he can’t afford both of us, so you can have him, I’ll wait for the next guy.(hope he will be better than him).

With the way the guy is sitting, it doesn’t matter how many peanuts he has – they have all been crushed & turned into peanut butter.
