The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 30, 2020

…The bank manager looks back at her and says: “It’s a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone!”

It’s all a front for Animal Farm . Some animals are more equal than others.

Next scene … Old McDonald came to harm.

Prior to the burger business.

somebody goose him…

The duck is trying to Quack him up!

I think the farmer is a quack.

The duck was not billed as a top performer.

And to think ole’ McDonald started with nothing more than a vegetable garden and a shake maker, err,a dream.

Years ago, while driving through rural Maryland, I passed the gate into “Old McDonald’s Farm”. Parked next to it was the farmer’s pickup truck, properly emblazoned. Its license number? EIEIO

He doesn’t seem to have the knack, knack of this game.

NEXT!

Can I be around for the chicken? Sounds like… luck luck here? Uh, buck buck here?

Farm fowl don’t normally bring up whacking.

We’ve received an incredible amount of rain this year, not even including the remnants of various tropical storms/hurricanes that have come through. After no-longer Beta, my lawn smells like a swamp. Instead of “hi” in our emails, my local friends and I say “Quack! Quack!” And, yes, I would very much love to send some of this rain to the West Coast.

BINGO!

I know, ooh, ooh, a duck billed platypus. It’s an egg laying mammal.

The cow is wearing a muumuu.

Is this why they started Farm Aid?

I’m just sayin’, he’d better DUCK!

That duck looks so disappointed!

Aflac!
