The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 17, 2021

If he did the math necessary to produce it, then it can be pretty interesting.

Hats off to that kid!

He’s the birdbrain.

He’s the one who knows when to hold ’em and knows when to fold ’em.

He majored in origami and the best he could do is a swan?

I think it’s the one in the from with the blond hair.

It’s not a him. It’s the new math. Multiplication with heavy breathing.

It’s a crane-ium

He’s graduating so for him it’s his “Swan Song” !

He always was a twisted kid

Job opportunities????

when he’s faced with real life he’ll just fold…

It’s the one thousandth crane.

IIRC NASA consulted an origami expert once to help design a space probe. They had trouble getting the solar panels to unfold correctly.

There are two kinds of people.

1. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Nope. Scott Hilburn’s been using this ugly new font for about half a year now, and despite assurances that I’d get used to it eventually, it still grates on me every time I have to look at it. What’s supposed to be the point, Scott?

He’s the one walking graceful.

Now we’ll see how life unfolds.

“He already has a job on a cruise ship folding napkins and linens.”

Gypsy Fortune Teller: “I see a lot of paperwork in your future.”

He can get a job at the swanky restaurants folding napkins in the grand ballroom..

His major is even less valuable than a humanities degree. His only future is folding napkins in fancy restaurants.

And she had to ask? How many more years til she graduates?

He’ll have a great career in restaurant napkin settings.

And I gave the President of the University a heads up and told him to make sure they hand him a glass diploma and not a paper one!

The sad part is, given the nature of everything “education-related,” it really would not surprise me if, eventually, there WAS a degree in origami!

Now, that’s a useful degree if there ever was one.

“Which one is he”

It’s sexist to assume the kid, the origami major, is a male.

Phi Beta Gami!
