The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 18, 2020

The bug police have their own agenda.

Now if I was a suicidal spider, I would just get tangled in some other spider’s web. I don’t think they’re at all particular about cannibalism.

It’s not going to be easy – it looks like he’s found his sole-mate.

Actually, that’s Ed Spidervan and his Really Big Shoe.

Great strip today.

he went out and got smashed and now he just wants to get squashed…

Hmm. I saw a spider trying to hang himself yesterday. Now I feel guilty for not trying to talk him down. But I’m not sure. I don’t think the cord was around his neck.

Remember that old adage, “Save a spider, regret it later.”

Come on, man! Less police and get a social worker in there!

In any moment he could become a well-heeled fellow.

He was caught in his own web of deceit.

Don’t worry. His sole will go straight to that hevenly web in the attic.

Sending in the swat team would just be suicide by cop.

We got an 8/80 here boss…..seems he spun out of control and lost his sense of direction….

Call Cagney and Lacey.

“Think man! Ya gotta wife? Ya can’t leave her like this. She’s probably hungry…”

A Great One!

Oh what a web we weave

when we first start to deceive.

I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop

Hey, he’s got my boot! He’s no Eagle Scout or he’d use a figure four trap with The Fly as bait to catch his bride, and live shortly thereafter.

He’s suicidal because he got the boot at work.

That sounds like it means killing a shoe.

I mean I appreciate the drawing but when you’ve had a family member actually follow through with suicide this subject lacks any humor

I didn’t know spiders wear glasses!

At least the autopsy will be easy.

He’ll leave a black widow behind.

If he is a protestor, you are in a no-win situation…

He looks sole-d on his plan. At least for once in his life he will be well-heeled

Send in Lace-y and Hobnails.

This crap just bugs the heck out of me!

It’s not his fault he was born with only 5 eyes… the poor soul.
