That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 22, 2019

Two artist models who wish they had asked for royalties.

Painter: “Okay, let’s lighten up a bit and relax. So how’s your sex life?”

“What a babe, right? How did I luck out?”

Grant Wood taught art at my husband’s high school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The male model was Grant Wood’s dentist and the female model was Grant Wood’s sister.

Looks like a couple of folks could use a bit more fiber in their diets, or at the very least a lot less starch.

Following a disagreement Mabel told Horace what he could do with that pitchfork. The look on his face plainly shows he wasn’t thrilled with her suggestion.

The demon acupuncturists of Fleet Street, Farmington, Iowa. She makes a mean pie!

they forced me to do this portrait with my wife instead of my favorite ewe…

“Green Acres is the life for me…..”

“O.K., so where the HELL are all those Subsidies that trump promised us after killing our export business? He better not show up here, because I’ll show him EXACTLY where I can put this pitchfork!!”

“Woman! You put too much starch in my overalls again!”

This Week’s Hometown Hero – he led the charge against Frankenstein’s monster.

“How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm after they seen the farm ?”

So what song is that supposed to be?

Best tag line in ages!

What is “beaver board”?

No! No! No! Just when I finally got that da*n jingle out of my head…….Nooooooooooo!

You should leave now, Dr. Scott, while it is still possible. We are about to beam the entire house to the planet Transsexual, in the galaxy of Transylvania. Go… Now! Our noble mission is completed, my most beautiful sister, and soon we shall return to the moon-drenched shores of our beloved planet.

In Kansas it had been said/ that daughter and Dad daren’t wed/ but she was a “hotsy”/ and he was a Nazi/ so they moved to ARkansas, instead.

The name “American Gothic” refers to the window on top floor of the house. Grant Wood thought it was strange, and somewhat pretentious, that a simple wooden house in Iowa would have a gothic window.

Wilber’s attempt to cut an unnoticed silent but deadly failed.

I always thought he looked more like a banker

…and we’ve seen a thing or two. That’s why we look like this.

“What the f*&^% did you just say?”
