    The downsides of those books are knee and back injuries.

    By the looks of that salt and pepper shaker set on the table, he appears to be compensating for something.

    Miriam suddenly realized there was something off about Norman. He wasn’t even interested in the nude pictures on the wall.

    Sure sign of aging when print big enough for you to read makes the book too big for you to hold.

    (best viewed by Google Chrome, with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

    all have info about this artist (again, if the last isn’t there in full, that can be read for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here. 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2018/02/22?comments=visible 

    has the prior (my comment there included 1 of the artist info URLs).

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2202 (May 14, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.
