    Oh, it is a lonely life — bathing, dressing, undressing, making exciting underwear…. And that one “man” over there who prefers his dog to us!

    Too bad Paris wasn’t staring at the Notre Dame cathedral when the fire started. He may have been able to rally the fire department a lot more quickly.

    all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. So far, 2 works by him have appeared here. 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2019/04/03?comments=visible 

    has the prior (my comment had the same artist info URLs).
