The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 27, 2022

The will is read by an heir friar.

he should know there are strings attached!

Good visual pun. Very good.

Heir, heir! I contest this will. This young man engages with strumpets.

Who gets the amp?

Party on, Nephew!

Now he can start his own re-moat castle band….

“Excellent! ♬♪♩♬♪♩”

who will get the heir dryer?

There’s something fishy here. But the executor is probably just pro-bait.

And in the ’toon, we see the nephew doing the first heir pump.

The rest are in the first heir band!

Move over, Pastis. There’s a new Pun-Master in town and his name is Hilburn!

The heir is not a parent.

Oh crikey! Just popped in this forum and found a bunch of heir heads. Gotta go.

Heir today, gone tomorrow.

A woman is brought before a judge after being charged with beating her husband with his guitar collection. “First offender?” asked the judge. The woman spoke up, “First a Gibson, then a Fender.”

This really struck a chord with me.

It’ll just be a few centuries till electricity is tamed. Some guy in Waukesha, just 6-miles down the road, invented the thing, but today’s warped-versions justify the “mute” button on TV remotes.

You know, this joke doesn’t require royalty. But I guess Scott wanted some kind of visual interest.
