The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 20, 2023

You’ll have to explain “elected” to King George III

If you shoot at the king, don’t miss.

Suicide King?

In a rifle fight? I would elect to be offense first.

Bill Cosby’s version was funnier, even if it did turn out he was a creep.

No hitting below the belt.

Are they playing American football or European football (soccer) ?

“Wait. Why is his picture on the coin?”

It never occurred to me before. The American Revolution was George vs. George.

In reality, it was more like “Washington won the toss and defers to the second half”

I thought George threw it across the Potomac?

What if it used Lincoln?

I have to get this out, because it keeps repeating in my head, the last line of that part oc Cosby’s monologue, “…and your team must wear red and march in a straight line.” And I have not heard that bit in decades, although I still have the “Why is there air?” album around.

Washington is still receiving….the worst congress ever‼️☹️

COMMANDER’s versus PATRIOT’s ??

If only all wars could be settled like this.

Hmm, it’s not a silver dollar, and this doesn’t look like the Potomac region….

None of these comments make cents.

Gonna be a rough game if they have stones that size in the field.

I think the idea of “receive” here is that it was exclusively American soil that was on the receiving end of 100% of the actual warfare. The US never invaded the British Isles during its War for Independence.

I won’t question the historical accuracy, since it takes place in a cartoon universe, whose history doesn’t have to be the same as ours. But I will question why anyone would regard it as a funny cartoon.
