    “I tried to convince your brother to leave out jokes about your halitosis and your incurable foot fungus during his speech as the best man, but after he gets a couple of drinks in him there’s no telling what he’ll say. But don’t despair, by that time the groom won’t be able to back out gracefully and the dowry will already be in the bank. In my view that’s a win-win!”

    Well, maybe not such a good family, but at least we know what kind of family he’s from.

    Löffler seems to have had a thing about brides. There are at least two other paintings by him on the same theme: “Die Braut.” (No. that’s not “Das Brat”!

    “Yes, father, everyone can see your erection through those pants. But if you’ll just button your tunic all the way down and stop man-spreading, perhaps no one will notice.”

    (best viewed by Google Chrome which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this roughly B2 paper size painting.

    all have info, or point to more info, about this artist (the middle 2 in Polish, again, Chrome can automatically translate – Bing may do better in this case), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here. 

    http://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2018/10/15?comments=visible 

    has the prior work (my comment there included the last 3 artist info URLs).

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2135 (February 10, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

    Oh… Say what you will of what may or may not be said here, but I’ll just get lost in the articulate painting of the folds in her dress.

    Belatedly, your mother has informed me that she never had “the talk” with you. Let’s start at the beginning, shall we?
