The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 01, 2020

Groan.

Could’ve been worse. He could’ve bought a push-up mower.

Mower power to him.

Shoulda been a sod processor!

Is he writing a cutting edge story?

“The pen is mightier than the sword” I guess the mower blades as well?

Oh Deere!

What a Toro-ble pun!

This purchase was a mistake. I’m afraid the mower just won’t cut it.

It was the best of lawns, it was the worst of lawns…

Sounds less awkward than a writhing mower.

That’s nothing! Did you know that Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address while riding from Washington on the back of an envelope?

He should hire Larry and Curly to Moe the grass.

Just give me a mow-ment…. almost done

The boy hoped to earn a few coins by working at the local golf course. The pro in the clubhouse said he was too small to be a caddy, but he might be allowed to cut the grass. Approaching Mr. Bumble, the head groundskeeper, Oliver awkwardly, yet boldly stated his mission. “Please sir, I want some mower.”

Funnier if view from aerial shot showed mower cutting words in grass.

“Two motor strokes of the pen and I will be done”

Better than a writhing mower.

You need to get a handle on this machine.

one more of those, Scott and we’re going to turn this car around

At least it is better than a rioting mower.

Memoir: The Adventures of MowerMan and his sidekick, LawnBoy!

No writer I know mows the lawn

GROAN****

He couldn’t cut it at his other jobs.

But, once he gets it out onto it lawn, there are two little guys with pointed ears to push it around. It’s elf propelled.

Mr. Hilburn: I’m becoming concerned with the increased use of puns lately. Did Stephen Pastis buy out the rights to your strip?

I’m a writer who rides her lawn tractor while thinking of what I’ll be writing soon.

The mowing mower having written, mows on.

They should finish theirs too, before the carbon monoxide finishes them.

In this case ‘MOWER IS LESS’….

Will it get writer’s or engine block?
