The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 11, 2023

The ones from Texas, and in tin cans, will definitely outlast the human race!!!

I have never tried one made by Benedictine monks, though I have heard they are quite good.

Fruitcake. Yummmmmmm.

It’s Aliiiive!!!!

Will it outlast the cockroaches after the end of humanity? I figure they won’t be able to eat it.

Thought Keith Richards already exhibits those traits,

You’ve outdone yourself this time.

Ah finally a solid solution to solves world hunger.

Nutty as one, I say!

Our recipe for fruitcake has been handed down from my mother and is the finest, made with a french brandy and finely chopped candy peel and nuts. Impossible to resist.

Talk about an evil scientist.

Clever comic.

Curse you, you dastardly fiend!!!

I love fruitcake!

Makes great door stops!

I’ll have you know I make excellent fruitcakes. I have to make a second batch as demand has outstripped supply this year.

Have great memories of some family friends always giving our family a “Claxton” fruit cake every year. We hated it and would laugh about it later. But, in recent years I’ve discovered they still make them and tried one for old times sake and they’re actually good! They come in a long “loaf” about 2 inches square and are great for cutting off bite size pieces and serving with coffee or whatever.

I knew it was invented by a mad genius

But, does it have a brain??

My wife makes amazing fruitcake – the whole family loves it. Despite the bad press, good fruitcake is fantastic (but bad fruitcake is a brick).

Mwa. Ha. Ha…

That’s because humanity will use them as weapons of mass destruction.

He has such joy in his life.

“It’s a loaf!!! It’s a loaf!!”

That’s Abby Normal.

My Dad used to send me fruit cake when I was overseas. Why was he mad at me?

Fruit cake is the gift that keeps on regifting!

Saw fruitcake at my local market last week selling for $29.99 for a 30 ounce cake. Good thing you only have to buy it once.

Little known fact (that I created): fruitcakes are not baked; they’re actually mined in Indonesia and Bolivia.

The cake is a lie!

What makes a very sexy unmarried lady immediately lose her libido???… wedding cake!

My dad used to make fruitcake. I’m not sure if anyone in the family ever ate it, but he made it every year.

my wife makes the best…all real ingredients (no candy garbage)…and the rum and cream sherry makes it to die for! (or live for!)

This explains a lot. Dr Frankenstein created fruitcake as a revenge Christmas present for the villagers that chased his monster.

And ever since it’s been travelling around the world.

It’s Aliveyoutu.be/xos2MnVxe-cIts Alive

I once heard that there is a fixed number of fruitcakes in the world, and they just keep getting regifted to some other family the following year.

what hump?

The Jeopardy answer is “Cockroaches, fruitcakes, and Keith Richards.” The question is “What are the 3 things that will survive nuclear holocaust.”

Fruitcake is the Nickelback of the pastry world. Lots of folks seem proud to say they hate it, yet it remains popular.

Fruitcakes and Cockroaches shall rule the world!

our squirrels, possums, and raccoons love them.

My recipe is so good my family begs me to make it. It’s more of a stained glass looking loaf…all fruit and nuts and hardly any batter or “cake”

Yumm! Y’all pass me some!

Just looking at this, I can hear his maniacal laughter!!!

Love fruitcake. Will never make it but will eat it!
