The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 20, 2021

When you run away, stow away on Qantas Airlines.

His sisters Kay and Elle will be there, too

Quiet. Quit quiping Que.

To make sure that you don’t get into too much trouble, since now you would have to drag him down WITH you.

He’s your quid pro quo, Q.

Jay’s house or J’s house?

Y oh Y indeed?

To ‘Q’: “You know we love you. But you know you can’t do much without ‘U’. So ‘U’ will almost always be there with you.”

When you went to the suq, he led.

The origin of “Q” explained.

Give him a wad of qat to chew. He’ll be no bother.

Take along your Chinese friend qi.

Seriously?! Why the frack would anyone follow Q?

At least their not hanging around L and M.

Qapla’ (That’s the only Klingon I know)

You know he q-ed up behind you the moment he was printed.

Just letter have her way.

U listen to your mother!

Because R,S and T are busy.

You’re brother is probably tired of being queued behind you.

Today’s cartoon brought to you by the letter Q

You can ask your Dad Y

Do I have to spell it out for you?

And when you have to stand in line, e gets in front of u and follows u too.

A-B-C-D puppy? L-M-N-O puppy. S A R. C M P. (say it out loud if haven’t heard it before).

Because u asked for it.

They gonna see “Avenue Q”?

Think I’ll fly Qantas to Qatar.

I remember being told by my 5th Grade teacher that “Q” is ALWAYS followed by a “U” (then she proceeded to say that was true except for one country – which of course was Iraq). This always bothered me, since this (and many other words and names I’ve learned since) certainly was NOT a case of “always”. I also wondered at the time that if Q was “always” followed by U, then why not just make “QU” a unique letter, like “LL” or “RR” in Spanish?

He won’t follow you to Iraq.

Qi?

You could always drive away in a Nissan Qashqai.

That’s a queer thing to say, what do you mean by that? Tell me before you two little fake-native-americans leave on your spirit quest.

Apparently, usually, but not everywhere. https://scrabble.merriam.com/q-words-without-u

“Hey dude, I had to bring U know who along.”
