The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 16, 2017

Gee, not even a kiss?

She won’t melt in his hands.

Well, a first date does not allow you a pick under her wrapper.

You’d think “M” would have a clever device for just such a situation.

You know, I used to have a pet M&M….

Yeah, I got it from the pound.

While I’m here…. since I don’t know exactly where to look….

Arianne…

if you see this….

Happy Birthday!

He’ll get her unwrapped eventually…

Sure, he wants a kiss, but she knows he isn’t nuts for her.

M’s hard candy shell held back his tears.

Mars and Hershey? What will their parents think!

Hershey hugs are a lot better than Hershey squirts.

M’s are from Mars, kisses are from, um … Hershey’s.

Maybe if he was a green M&M he would have better luck

Maybe she was feeling more Skittlish

Don’t let the opportunity slip thru your fingers.

She’s holding out for the cultured English type — you know, a Smartie.

She doesn’t want to go to far or she will have a Baby Ruth.
