The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 19, 2021

Oh, look. Aquababy has company.

Will he be called Fry or Fingerling?

Not a good sign. Aquaman’s son is sleeping with the fishes.

He sleeps with the fishes! Aquaman’s child can breath underwater so it’s ok I guess. Hard to keep a cigar lit under water though…

A chip off the old fish.

Eh, something’s fishy here.

Aquaman no longer meets as little resistance as he used to, sleekly eeling through the waves.

Is that one of those burn underwater cigars?

Is this still a thing? I mean coming to look at a baby in a room full of babies.

Do these maternity wards with windows still exist? Even pre-pandemic?

Wonder where the kid will go to school.

His boy is a little wet behind the ears!

Aquaman, or Aqualung, my friend?

Look! Aquababy has snacks in his bassinet.

Later split into two expressions, “sleeping with the fishes like a baby” never quite made it into common parlance.

Don’t know what Aquaman is so happy about. His marriage is under water.

Quick – somebody call DCFS!

I.Don’t.Get.It.

Your baby’s an aquatic animal???

In what maternity ward do they allow new fathers to smoke their celebratory cigars?

Kid’s more than a little wet behind the ears.

Aquaman’s been eating tooooooo many chocolate seaweed snacks?

Hope he’s not doing the backstroke or will end up flushed down the toilet.

I hope they change his water frequently. And what is he swaddled in?

Great Yerkes ghost, are you out of your element?

Looks like someone wet the crib.
