That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 23, 2023

Prometheus worked on a scale model of man before creating the final version.

/// Here Prometheus Molds Man from Clay.

Not Titanic; a smaller display.

If they stood toe-to-toe,

where the Man’s face would go

could be thought of as rather risqué.

“Oops, I think I cut a little too much off the front.”

makes me think of the joke of theman whogot a “12 inch pianist” but imight have already made thiscomment…

That guy really needs to get a date.

It was cruel irony that with a name like PROMetheus, the poor Titan could not get a date to his high school prom. He had to make one. However, Olympian officials (hypocrites!) were scandalized at his choice of a same-sex partner, and a human being, to boot! Prometheus, in addition, later chose to streak the class graduation holding a torch of forbidden fire.

Is it any wonder that school officials gave him a time-out bound to a rock, with a vulture endlessly eating his liver? Harsh as it seemed, the other Titans needed to be shown an example of what punishment such insolence would entail.

The toy maker later moved the location for the wind-up key further north, as this location got the toys a bit too wound up.

“Interesting, by pressing here my right leg moves up.”

Little Dmitri Jr. (not pictured), appreciated his dad’s statue he made of him, but didn’t understand why his dad had to present it to him in the nude…..in front of all his school friends..

He’s part of the old Grecian culture/

His hobbies are nudism and sculpture/

But in his near future/

He’ll need more than one suture/

To outlast the visiting vulture…

Dr. Demetrius demonstrates the proper technique for administering an enema.

“This won’t hurt a bit.” “Did it?”

The original “Mini-Me.”

“Say ‘Hello’ to my little friend…”

Pre-industrial gay sex-ed class.

Don’t ask what he pulls to get the mouth to operate.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #1730 (6/15/17) (February 22, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 7 works by this artist have been used here (9 times total, including this and another Throwback Thursday repeat), the June 15, 2017, strip being its first use. The March 21, 2022, strip has the prior non-repeat by this artist.

P.S. Call me Ishmael has left a blog comment as well (not sure if that is his future plan, to do blog comments for strips).

Trying again with a new voodoo doll, he’s never going to quit. Just because it didn’t work the other day doesn’t mean it won’t work today.

The crowd was quite amazed that Richard could make his little Dickie talk.

I like the original comment about Dimitri…..funny!

Swen was hoping that this was not the date he was waiting for, it needs to be a bit bigger.oh wait, it’s plenty big

This one is priceless! Absolutely hilarious! I LOL! Great one, Steve!
