That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 03, 2023

/// Any man who’d steal pasta’s a meanie.

(If you’re hungry, go plant some zucchini.)

It just beggars belief

he’s called “Spaghetti Thief,”

when that platter contains bucatini.

Later came the idea of putting marinara sauce on the pasta to discourage people from using their hands.

“I can’t wait until somebody invents the fork.”

Worst Olive Garden ever!

Can’t wait to put this pasta board idea on my Insta!

Typical! It takes three men to do the work of one woman!

If there’s one thing Sicilians hates/

It’s spaghetti that’s served on plates/

They are perfectly able/

To eat from the table:/

It’s just one of their heart-warming traits!

Attention buffet patrons! We are now serving the last spaghetti for today

Another painting that leaves me with only one thought – “Why?”

Is that the Quaker Semolina man in the background?

Forks…we don’t need no stinkin’ forks we got hands!

That extremely-short-lived extreme sport, pasta diving.

I said, “NO TASTING! Now get the **** out of my kitchen.”

Ew! Looks like a bunch of teenagers.

WOMAN: Is this the guy who wanted a lap dance? Shouldn’t he be sitting down?

ew

“I hope you guys washed your hands!”

Once again, the artist is thinking, I could paint a nude scene. Nah, too common. I could paint a nature scene. Nope, way too overdone. How about guys eating spaghetti with their hands?

I thought he was holding a dismembered hand at first.

If you can eat it with your hands, the sauce is just right.

After many trials, they decided that alfredo was better for wrestling in than marinara or carbonara.

“No you don’t! Once you put it in your mouth, it’s yours.”

Other versions has the strip coloration image.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3073 (February 3, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about the attributed artist. First work by the attributed artist used here. There is some doubt about its attribution (why another artist’s name is in the search string), and that may change on the blog.

I always thougt spaghetti grew on trees, I have even seen a movie about the harvest.

louis was ill-informed when he entered the diet of worms. he thought it was to eat.

Working toward the same goal, gotta hand it to them…

“The Spaghetti Thief”

Beautiful, very clever!!

the boys just knew that they’d make a bundle reselling this pasta…

/// You may think these men eat like barbarians,

but, in fact, they were all seminarians.

They planned this reunion

to take their communion:

FSM, Yahweh of Pastafarians.

At the seminary cantina/

Seminarians say semolina/

When possible should/

Be eaten from wood/

Not off China – like Rastafarina !

For Monday:

They’d been told that ducks never attack-/

That the weapons required ducks lack/

Now the first hunter whined/

From the bowels of their blind/

“Migod- they’re firing back!”
