The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 30, 2021

I feel like weleasing Bwian, or maybe Wogew.

Shouldn’t it be a "Pspelling Pbee?

So that’s how the PTA got started.

I’m only here for pthe ptorture.

Psay it, don’t pspray it!

Pto bee or not pto bee. Pthat is pthe question.

PiTy….

Ptarmigans, ptoo.

Ha! He misspelled “terodayctyls”! …oh, wait

Pamazing!!!

Phooey!

The Pteachers were very Ptough on Pterrible spellers.

In all these cases the “P” is silent, as in pswimming

No wonder they were all considered P brains.

Another rousing session at the PTA.

Pthuffering pthuccotash!

Why can’t you hear a pterodactyl go to the bathroom? The p is silent.

But they’re phun to waptch

See “P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever.”

No joke if it has to be explained to you….

Ptrue story: I made second place in my school’s fourth grade qualifiers for the citywide spelling bee by spelling ‘ptomaine’ correctly. ;-) Got an engraved pen for it. ;D

Move to Ireland, where it’s Terry O’Dacktill.

Her parents were so ashamed they quit coming to the PTA meetings

When I was growing up in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, there was a bar and restaurant called Ptomaine Ptommy’s. I asked my dad what that meant and how to pronounce it, and he explained that the P was silent, as in swimming.
