The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 18, 2021

Hope he doesn’t get stuck in the past…

Mucilage at the Moose Lodge.

He was always tight lipped.

Kindergarten paste tasted so good!

When I was in the 3rd grade I tasted a bit of school glue, the predecessor to Elmer’s. I liked the texture more than the taste!!

Better eating than sniffing.

And Gretchen sitting next to me chewed rubber erasers. And everything I said to her….oh, you heard this one before.

Well it was animal based….

That’s when he met the gorilla his dreams.

What’s the deal with the flame atop the ghost’s hoodie?

A man’s gotta glue what a man’s gotta glue.

let’s hope he doesn’t come unglued…

Looks like he’s held himself together all these years….must be Elmers….

Wouldn’t mind a visit from the ghost of Christmas pasties

Could be worse like the pick your nose or seat ghost or maybe the blast from the past ghost.

Minty Fresh

Looks like Marley he’s with, chains and all.

Cute, but Marley was the one in chains and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is usually the one shown wearing a hooded cloak. As in, “…a solemn Phantom, draped and hooded, coming, like a mist along the ground, towards him… Scrooge feared the silent shape so much that his legs trembled beneath him, and he found that he could hardly stand when he prepared to follow it.”

wish i could give more likes!!!

Never tried eating it, but it’s sure fun to peel off your fingers!

Great one today. In the penultimate scene, Scrooge tells the street urchin to hie himself down to the stationer’s shop for a festive firkin of mucilage. Then it’s off to the Cratchits’!

It must be Christmas Past. Who uses adhesive rather than tape on a Christmas Present!?

Flour and water. I remember!

Snerk… Charles Dickens typo??

I never used to eat glue, I’d just pour it on my hand and pretend I was peeling off skin.

The first real laugh of the morning. Thank you.

This cartoon is going to stick with me.

mmmm. library pasta.

Hm, I wonder if it’s glue-ten free.
