The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 05, 2018

Surely Mr. Tate would have known it was a one-time use doll!

Tracking shipping on Amazon.com: “Your Discreet Blow-Up Doll has reached its detonation.”

Hope the UPS guy got away.

The first speech balloon doesn’t seem to be coming from the UPS guy. Who else is there?

“The best bang since the big one”.

Well, it was a Blow up doll… Hope he had a blast.

false advertising – there was nothing discreet about that

Not what he expected!

Surely, that should be Master Tate.

I love the “discreet” packaging. It reminds me of these gag envelopes my dad used to have: they were printed on the front in bright red ink – IMPORTANT: Venereal Disease test results enclosed.

“Be the only kid on your block!”

I suppose it was discreet in that it only blew up one house.

He who has a Tate is lost.

Ordered from the MAGA doll factory, I expect.

I don’t understand the importance of the third panel….

I’m not sure any explosion can be considered discreet.

Too much Viagra?

so much for discretion.

I don’t know what it cost him to order that but at least he got his bang for his buck.

I just love it when I get ammunition and they leave it on your front porch and it is marked as ammunition. Doh!

The “Me too” movement is really getting out of hand.

That delivery wasn’t very discrete!

It should have sent up a red flag when it was picked up from a white van in Florida.

This strip is usually a highlight of my day. This day’s is not funny.

The blow up was very discrete, just your house only.

It’s no longer a blow-up doll, it is now a blew-up doll.

If it comes in a carton that large, it better be life-sized and it better not inflate.

only 2 panels, the line on the street/curb just looks like a panel line. I thought the same thing

NOT funny!

I think the house only blew up because there are no chimneys on that side of the street. Pressure has been building up in there for years.

He was trying to start a nuclear family.

Not very discreet
