    The new line in summer hats was cool, but rather heavy, and attracted bees.

    …and where ever Mary went her goat was sure to follow.

    Now we know why; she always had the goats favorite snack on her head.

    She was the talk of the town. Both men AND women were commenting on Mary’s bush.

    No worries. The goats will keep it trimmed.

    The goat is thinking that maybe if he gives her a little gentle butt in the butt, that plant hat will fall off and he’ll score a lovely salad for lunch.

    Knowing she would get more for the goats than for the children at the market, Penny knew what food to take with her.

    The Capri-Treehat family in happier times, before climate change dried up her foliage and he took the kids.

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Jacques Alfred van Muyden" site=commons.wikimedia.org 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found and once there find the text string Mutter, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3139 (May 29, 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 to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, first work by him used here.

    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but what about one bird with two bushes?

    Before aluminum foil was invented, ferns were used to keep people from reading your mind and protecting you from aliens.

    Is she standing in front of a tree or wearing it?

    For a period of time GoComics had “exiled” me from their Comments sections, deleting every entry or response I had ever written and allowing only me to see any new Comments I made during that period. Eventually, with the intervention of Mr. Melcher, my “banishment” ended and the vast majority of what had been deleted was restored. This Masterpiece (#3139) is the first of eleven which, for reasons unknown to me, were not restored. I was able to reconstruct (or copy from Steve’s blog) a few entries for the last three paintings, but I can’t remember much of what I had written for the first eight. I’ve decided to try to rewrite at least one entry for each of them, and the first one is below:

    /// When we see this young Mother Returning

    Home with Children, one question is burning:

    That huge bush on her head…

    food for goats? (Or instead

    is it shade to keep sunlight from burning?)
