The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 23, 2024

today the topic should be rubber bands because that gag was really a stretch!

Are they just moving into a haunted house?

When he’s done, he will go to the great beeyond. (I know, it stings)

Maybe he’s just Beewitched.

Almost gave them the “hives”!

His death really stung him.

They have none of his beeswax.

Hard to beelieve….

Maybe he was killed by Asian giant hornets (aka “Murder Hornets”)

The Dead should mind their own Beesness.

Another swing and another miss.

Is that a haz-mat suit? Was he in the middle of an asbestos abatement in the house and died before he finished it? Maybe don’t breathe the air.

well that did it, now he’s leaving.

At the risk of “waxing” philosophic, the implication really stings!

He’s really a honey when you get to know him.

I wonder if there are ghost bees?

What’s the buzz, tell me what’s happening. (An ALW quote.)

Really?

Hopefully he’ll beehive himself.

Great puns, yall! But I don’t get the intent of the comic. What am I missing? Please and thank you.

I had to look at this comic several times and read the comics before I finally quit mentally correcting “beesness” to “business.” The brain sees what it expects to see, not necessarily what’s out there!

Mmm, ghost honey.

As long as there’s no beesnests in the walls

Wow………..just wow……….

Unfinished bee’s knees?

That spirit is just going for a smoker.

Maybe, but it’s none of your bee’s-wax.

He’s going to haunt the murder hornets.

Pastis and Lemon gotta be drooling and foaming at this!
