The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 30, 2024

The pumpkin spice season is almost upon us!

The curse of the pumpkin spice has a long, troubled history.

A bit early for this comment no?

Luckily no pumpkin spice in Rome, ever…

Well, I have to admit, I do like pumpkin spice coffee. Not with all the added froth, sprinkles, sugar, etc, and certainly not all year long. Still, it’s the only flavored coffee I can tolerate. I guess we all have our weaknesses.

Actually, the fall ofthe Roman Empire happenedmin the spring.

An aqua duck tripping out on pumpkin spice is a terrible thing.

Not to mention the perpetual back-to-school sales.

Is Pumpkin Spice related to Posh Spice?

Maybe that was the inspiration for Orange Julius?

No pumpkins in ancient Rome, those are from this hemisphere. It would have just been “spice”.

I love Constantinople in the Fall-time.

Did Nero start the famous fire with Jack-O-Lanterns? (Cartoon history is nearly as much fun as cartoon physics.)

Beware the Ides of October.

It. Is. July. No talking about fall. Shhhhhh

Keep Marching; do not fallter.
