The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 28, 2020

My 8 month old cat just jumped up on my desk, saw the mimes on the screen and started hitting them.

It’s all Uphill against a Strong Wind in this case…

Anita Newman? What? Wear out the old one?

This is one of those times where something is so stupid that it’s funny.

It’s the second mime show today. (See Off The Mark for the other one)

Anita will have to use sign language!

“Well can you at least tell me which one of you is Shields and which one is Yarnell?”

She’s giving me the silent treatment…

I never said that.

There seems to be a communication gap…WHAT? No motions and hitting a wall?

Anita isn’t very mime-ful of the challenge they present.

Mimes the word.

They’re mad at each other cuz they lost at charades.

Bip

ah, the silent treatment, I am way too familiar with that

That’s nothing. Her next couple will be two snowmen complaining about the “cold shoulder.”

To the scorpion pit with them!

Today must be mime day on GoComics.

No need to go through the motion to show you’re zipping your mouths – I get it.

This must be a snippet from the Shields & Yarnell marriage counseling before they divorced.

There is obviously an invisible wall between them

They had married because they were very good with their hands. Now their relationship is just pretend.

It started with a what’s yours is yours and what’s mime is mime argument.

Anita? Mime your own business.

I used to be a mime, but….I just can’t talk about it.
