The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 14, 2020

Showdown at the Thesarus Saloon.

Humor. Amusement. Jocosity.

The Thesaurus Kid rides/jaunts/tours again

The Donnybrook Kid?

If he doesn’t watch it he’ll be challenged/dared/called out to a duel/affair of honor/shoot out.

He reads a Thesaurus as a hobby.

I think it’s Dick Shonairie, the fastest lexicon in the West.

“Oh. I thought that was the password. Sorry about that, Chief.”

喧嘩、口論、殴り合い…

Save ‘em for Scrabble, we’re playing Poker here!

Scrabble, anyone?

Not fightin’ words, code words. He’s telling his friend at the table what you have.

Reach for yer gun, pistol,sidearm,hog’sleg,gat,etc. …Roget

Look out guys. He’s pack two marshmallows.

Noah Webster in the Old West.

When the much feared Thesaurus Kid comes to town…

One of my favorite Three Stooges bits:

Shemp: “Them’s fightin’ words in my country!”

Villain: “Well then let’s fight.”

Shemp: “Well we ain’t in my country.”

Row, scrabble, dust-up, rumpus, donnybrook.

gasp It’s the Roget Kid!

Movie flashback: “Ah..excuse me while I whip this out.”

Excellent cartoon and comments today! Kudos Mr. Hilburn and all commenters!

Donnybrook?

Well, if that didn’t work, try some “Your mother’s so fat…” jokes.

BANG! There now you’re The-sorest kid.

Followed by the shootout/firefight/duel at the Alright/Satisfactory/Adequate Corral.

“Freefall” did it sooner, and not as the main punchline.

Here comes the Antonym Kid to try and make peace.

Fracas.

Seems the guy at the card table doesn’t know the meaning of fear.

Is he asking a question or making a statement?

“Sorry. Happens every time I drive the Saurus.”
