The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 08, 2024

first their tails and now this…tough day!

Did you ever see such a sight in your life? The canes aren’t white.

They never saw it coming! (someone had to say it, I’ll show myself out now.)

Where was Saint Patrick when the needed him?!

They’ll come out in the end.

Knotty, knotty, knotty, you snake in the grass.

Fella named Riki wants to have a talk with you, Mr. Snake

Three Blind Mice. Three Blind Mice.

Now there are none. Now there are none. …

Three digested mice…

That snake has quite the overbite

The Far Side has a similar one with the seven dwarfs

We all gotta go sometime, and blind mice don’t last long.

Sory, I’m just not getting it?

See how they run. Well, not anymore.

And that’s the end of the three blind mice!

This is like The Far Side comic where Snow White is coming home and a large snake is slithering out the window with 7 large bumps on its body.

They should have kept taking their chances with the farmer’s wife.

Good luck getting back under that fence…

Ate blind mice, ate blind mice.

[You know the tune…] ONE fat snake.., see how it writhes!

Just out of frame is the salt shaker… 3 BLAND Mice.

Escape plan is squeaky clean.

“Hey, look fella’s…a cave.”

Definitely an antiblindite! As in, this would hurt their feelings if they could read it.

My cat Figaro simply loved it when I sang that rhyme to him, he’d roll around and stretch and purr and make these funny little mew sounds (funny because he, at 25 lbs, was not little). Miss that beastie.

Three dead mice… three dead mice…

Took me deciding that those were canes, then I think I got it…

What about Hickory Dickory Dock? Maybe then Tik Tok will end.

Took us a while, were old to figure this one out. Wife finally got it and we laughed. This guy needs to be in a home. Dam good thing him and I didnt go to school together the school couldnt have handled us

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk

♪ He’s a cold-hearted snake/ Look into his eyes/ He’s been eatin’ mice ♪

They didn’t run fast enough.

Good one. Took me a minute to figure it out. I like a cartoon that makes me think.

Obviously it was a blind taste test

Thank to everyone who referenced Three Blind Mice. I was absolutely clueless about this one!
