The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 22, 2023

there he is, Code named " Nick"

Cut himself while shaving!

Botanically speaking, a nectarine is just a fuzzes peach. Sometimes peaches and nectarines will grow on the same branch.

My apologies to you all, I know the last thing you want to do while reading the comics is learn something, but there you are.

Who are you, the Peach Fuzz?

“if you cut us, do we not leak juice?”

Somebody call the fuzz! (Has anyone called the police “fuzz” since 1972?)

“Punch the peach! Punch the peach!”

Well ain’t that just peachy!

(I got to be the first one to sat that)

He’s a bit young to be shaving. I mean he’s only sporting peach fuzz.

It could be said that nectarines are the actual imposters since they are peaches without any fuzz. [Kind of like: How dare they (try to) call themselves (real) peaches?!]

The infiltrating peach needs to buy a new razor.

If we don’t stop this, the next thing you know, plums and grapes will be disguising themselves as prunes and raisins.

We live up in the NE where they hold the annual Peachfest every year. No fruit. All music. And while they are no longer with us, a great ongoing tribute to the Allman Bros Band.

Actually compared to some of the political rants and bad puns it’s refreshing

That sort of conduct qualifies as an impeachable offense.

Fuzzless explains the shaving injuries on the imposter

Time for the “cream” compatibility test

Nectarines are Brazilianed peaches.

Fuzzy-Wuzzy was a Peach. Fuzzy-Wuzzy had no fuzz. Fuzzy-Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, Wuzzy he?

Anyone with an affinity for cream should be treated with suspicion.

Do they dare run today’s strip in Georgia?

It seems to me that peaches today are much less fuzzy than they were when I was a kid. I don’t think the variety is any different, but I’m wondering if peaches have been cultivated specifically so that there is less fuzz? I remember as a kid I would get very irritated on my arms and neck (yes, my neck, from catching peaches thrown to me) and elsewhere, but now there sure seems to be a lot less fuzz on any given peach, it isn’t irritating to my skin at all, and I like to eat them right off the tree.

I like nectarines better than peaches. They’re juicer.
