The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 05, 2018

Sandshoe for your service.

So many tied for the cause….

some only 8 1/2’s or 9’s… just Keds, really.

But they stepped up, to help de-feet the Knotsies…

and fought to give them the boot.

God rest their soles.

Lacoste of the war was terrible. Many to this day fear to tread and Converse about it’s horrors.

Tanks for the memories.

Knot-si’, is that Spanish?

Our brave fighters were later memorialized by the G.I. Toe action figures.

I did knotsie that coming!

If the measure of a comic’s greatness is the field it opens for poor puns this one is headed straight to the top 10.

The Commies played a fairly big part in that, too.

The Knotsies were really a bunch of heels.

Adi Dassler (founder of Adidas) started his company in Germany in the 1930s. His brother was the founder of Puma and also started the company in Germany. And remember, Adidas bought Reebok a few years ago. But Phil Knight started Nike in Portland, OR in the late 1960s.

It all started with the polish invasion….

Your mother wears army boots.

I went to wallyworld to buy velcro tennies. My kids laughed and called them “old people shoes”.

I have had a lot of pun reading these comments.

They were well trained to fight those in the combat (boots)

I see parashoeists in the background

Laces should be white for the “Knotsies”

They were on their toes.

The untied SKATES helps defeat the knotsies.

I missed the “Untied” States. Looks too much like United (two letters transposed).

My father’s birthday was VE Day, and on his brother’s birthday the US entered WWII after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Knotsis were speechless at their de-feet. Their tongues were tied.

Lest we forget. I wish I could laugh at this cartoon and the many fine puns. I just can’t.

And in usual form, France flip-flopped between sides.

Those knotsies though they were pretty tough until the shoeting started.

@ASKAMOOSE The Nazis were mass murderers, genocidal. I had two aunts and an uncle who bore the serial number tattoos on their arms from the concentration camps they somehow survived, experiences that shattered them for the rest of their lives. The Nazis will never be funny, and must never be made funny. We can’t afford to think, even for a moment, particularly during this administration, that it can’t happen again. We seem to be in the beginning stages again, God help us. We must never, ever forget.
