The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 10, 2022

a color pun, this strip sure spans the spectrum!

How did his clothes and beard manage to get sunburned?

What a moroon.

Queenslander!

Stay classy, desert island!

He looks kind of wooden. How about mahogany or walnut? dark chestnut or cherry?

Oy

I have another question… does he need to be rescued?!

Toss him some sunblock and let’s get out of here.

Like the story of the ship carrying red paint collided with a ship carrying blue paint. The crews were marooned for weeks.

Looks more like brown to me.

Where would he get that pigment on such a tiny island!?

I do believe that is the color once known as “ashes of roses”.

Leave it to Hilburn to add a new twist to the castaway on a tiny island gag.

Mauve-elous.

Is his name Johnny?

Is that Ron Burgundy?

Leave the burgundy. It needs to age longer.

GROAN, It did make me laugh though.

So he got splashed with wine and didn’t feel like washing it off.

Did anyone else “hear” Bugs Bunny saying, “what a maroon!” ? No?
