In the sequel, socks are terrorized by Crocs.

At least it’s not a white sock in a sandal. That would be hideous.

Sorry. Hubby used to wear black socks in sandals here in the desert. He just wasn’t comfortable without them.

Don’t miss the horror sequel, “The Dryer”.

See! Even the socks know it’s a horrible look.

Yup. That socks!

I’ve seen the high school boys wearing socks and sandals for a while now. The new thing is for the girls to wear fuzzy bedroom slippers outdoors.

Sock it to me.

I can’t even imagine what’s next, ARGYLE socks ’n sandals?!

Sock it to em!

It’s time to stop disparaging and ridiculing such an absolutely harmless and comfy foot protection as wearing socks with sandals. Please find something else worthy of scorn to get upset about.

Hey, the ancient Roman soldiers wore socks with sandals. If it was good enough for Gluteous Maximus of the 9th legion, it’s good enough for me.

This strip has been in rerun mode for 2 weeks now, last week it was a week of 2013 Argyle Sweater strips, this week it is a week of 2012 Argyle Sweater strips.

Trying to find it, but I think it was this strip or another that was similar. In it, glasses of water (I think water) were in seats watching a movie, of a cat on a table standing near a glass of water, full or empty can’t remember. “Fully or empty”, hey that would be a great name for a strip.

Next stop? The beach!

@drycurt. Amen, Brother.

Don’t wear sandals

You can’t afford the scandals

Don’t want to be a bum

You better chew gum

The pump don’t work

’Cause the vandals took the handle

They’re obviously prejudiced.

Darn it.

There is a more terrifying film coming. About a serial kidnapper who apparently stalks laundry rooms.

Esso si que es

I don’t get it.

Socks were first invented to be worn with sandals.The earliest known surviving pair of socks were created by naalbinding. The split toes were designed for use with sandals. Dating from 300–500, they were excavated from Oxyrhynchus on the Nile in Egypt. These socks are a reddish colour though, not black!

How else can I keep my feet warm when I am wearing sandals?

Well at least he’s wearing shorts, I think.
