That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 21, 2023

/// These two knew from the time they first met.

The Engagement. Agreed on and set.

Mama looks up to gloat;

Pa sneaks out in his coat.

Can’t pay dowry, he’s too much in debt.

“Now that we are engaged, remember to list me as the beneficiary on your army papers.”

’I’ll pencil you in for tomorrow at 6, but I have an appointment with Ronnie right now.’ The tribulations of being a gigalo.

“I assure you Ma’am, that cat was killed humanely.”

Carlisle was caught staring at the Count’s rear end…

Why does the old guy in the back give off a ‘used car salesman’ vibe?

Don’t worry, John! Mom and Dad are to focused on their phone conversations to care about our dirty talk.

When the cavalry comes to call/

The civilian must wait in the hall../.

But isn’t it funny/

How the man with the money/

Quite often wins out after all?///

The uniformed man may be cuter/

Than the chubby civilian suitor/

But in the long run/

When the courting is done/

She will often choose gold over pewter..

“Thanks for inviting me, Miss Hortense- I’ve never enjoyed a lecture on sexual abstinence more!”

“We’re men, we’re men in tights (Tight tights!). Always on guard defending the people’s rights! When you’re in a fix, just call for the men in tights!”

You know, Jack, I’m really going to miss that tool of yours. Take good care of it, please!

“I’m sorry I bent it.”

“I thought you said….”

“When you uncle said ‘I love a man in uniform,’ I think he really meant it. He’s been staring at my backside since I came in.”

Things were looking up until your parents showed up!

“Don’t worry! Just between you and me, I’ve got a bunch of little blue pills in my handbag.”

He is letting it all hangout.

And why would he need his sword at this particular time anyway? oh, nevermind…

“I’m sorry my dear. This has never happened to me before.”

Considering the size of his man purse, and the tilt of his saber, it looks like Lt. Rodney is more swash than buckle.

LOL I see two. One for direct insertion, the other, longer one to wrap around for rear entry.

Why is Hobbes splayed out on the floor like that?

“You TOLD me it was a COSTUME PARTY!”

She would definitely get mine up.

“Soldier, your orders are to keep her distracted so that she doesn’t see me stealing her pantyhose!”

And perhaps that old retainer

Whom now giving of his all

May have once been just as we are

And now has no face at all

But still grief was not the reason

He was made of sterner stuff

And his sword though old and rusty

Still was blunt as sharp enough

File history has the strip coloration image.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3152 (June 20, 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 pointing the blog entry with my comment pointing to the info I found about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 2 works by him have been used here, the June 20, 2023, strip being the prior.

Peyronie’s?

“There was a young man from Kent…”

“I’m sorry, Ferdinand, but I couldn’t possibly go to the ball with someone dressed prettier than I.”

Careful, pal. The last guy also thought he was a real tiger in the sack.

“Now darling, you’ll just have to get used to Daddy checking out your keister when you are in uniform!”

I’m telling you, one day yoga pants will catch on; then who will be the fool?

daddy on right is doubtful that general will marry Drucella until dad has finished with her.

men in tight pants gave the females a easy way to weed out potential suiters.

Nothin’ like a little (or large) Roman in the mornin’ …

Perhaps she gave him some bad news.

That looks like an extra pair of gloves…to wear outdoors to keep the indoor ones clean?

For Thursday:

They’re hoping to lead him astray/

But there probably ain’t no way/

Unless you are dim/

Only one look at him/

Should suffice to convince you he’s gay///)

“Really Reginald, it just seems like every summer since junior high another old pervert follows you home from band camp…”
