The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 23, 2019

It’s reassuring to know that someone has your back…

Backs up against the wall on this one. Yeah, it’s two patients, but only ONE SPINE !

So much for watching each other’s back…

I think they were here before, looks like they’re back!

That’s an interesting set of pants. There must be a lot of extra material when they both stand up.

So many questions the more you think about this.

The football team had them as their fullback!

Talk about fused vertebrae…

If one’s a lefty, they’d be great for tennis doubles.

We are Si-am-ee-ese if you plea-ese. We are Si-am-ee-ese even if you don’t please.

Which one has the belt buckle, or do they take turns?

They seem to be both coming and going.

The Chiropractor will just have to make some adjustments.

How do you crack that?

I’m reminded of the legend about Jim Bowie, inventor of the eponymous knife, who was once challenged to a duel and, as the challenged party, had choice of weapons. He specified that he and his opponent would be tied back to back with their left hands behind them, have a Bowie knife placed in their right hands, and allowed to have at it when the referee said “go”. Apparently the other guy never showed up.

This will be a challenge.

Chang and Eng Bunker in their younger days.

That there is one huge pair of pants ….

Nice of you to join us, Doc.

They have never traveled. They keep having to double back.

you don’t wanna know when they get their back up…
