The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 28, 2023

It probably didn’t have anything to do with colloquial expressions.

another sad pet potential comic…makes me feel sad…

Should have brushed up on his semantics.

I fail to see the downside.

Even familiar with the expression, I might have obliged.

Old habits are hard to break. Before driving a taxi Carlton was the NYC Rat Czar.

That must have been before he got into real estate.

Oh goody…does this mean that “yip, yip, yip” is squashed?

So did he do like he was asked and “step on it” (the dog) … and put an end to its loud unfriendliness.

LOL!

Rest assured, this cabbie made all the stomps.

Well, he received a 1 star review from the dog owner. Everyone else gave him a 5 star review.

Not a dog, barking rat.

All chihuahuas are sweet!

One squished overgrown rat, coming up!

There’s a MINIATURE Chihuahua?

Grammarerly

My buddy called them ‘Drop kick Dogs’, coz that’s what you want to do with them!

After cabbie finished, that doggie was one inch tall and six foot wide.

Boy, that’s ruff.

“Gee, dude, you don’t even have to ask [squish].”

Which semantic confusion are we discussing: “step on it” or “groomer”?

“I recently wrote that those little yappy dogs were totally useless. I’m sorry, I have to retract that. It’s been pointed out to me that you can tie them to the end of long sticks and use them to clean dust bunnies out from under the bed.” —Mike Royko, (the column that earned him more user mail than anything else he ever wrote)

Yep! My chihuahua is ADORABLE and chonky, but he’s a NASTY, NASTY MAN! He’s too endearing to get mad at though. Nutjob. <3

I learned in an Anthropology class that the Aztecs used to breed them for food. Fatten them up on maize and roast them. The original corn dog.

One star. So worth it!

Ambiguity is at the heart of humor, and the English language.

If you can step on it, it’s a rat, not a dog.

Scott “crushed it” today! ❤️

Carlton thought it was a barking cockroach! ❤️

I have a chihuahua, one of the good ones and this is the funniest comic and comments I’ve seen in a while

“And his eyes bugged out like a stomped-on toadfrog’s!”
