The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 18, 2024

I call it a swimming pool

Indigenous kids.

That is sort of how the Caribs felt back in ’92

It looks like he’s also discovered indecent exposure.

Whattsammatter You, Chris?!

Dumbo, Christopher Columbus did not think he discovered anything besides a shorter route to India.

Ssssssh! We don’t want to hurt his feelings!

Ooooh hec! ….. let’s do it ….he’ll get over it!

Is this anything like Trump claiming he invented the word “groceries”?

Is the playground round?

Funny. That’s what the Native Americans said in 1492.

Ohio?

Probably why Amerigo Vespucci got naming rights…

(Just think! We could, instead be “Vespuccians”. I wonder if the rest of the world would still hate us?)

LOLs! Good one. Me like.

The slight gap between the “F” and the “or” had me substituting F for the F word

I have discovered this playground and claim sovereignty and all rights to it for Mom and Dad.

Years later, Columbus DID serve “detention”…..

There’s now proof that the Vikings and the Knight Templars were in Nova Scotia much, much earlier.

I’m still trying to figure out where they got “he discovered” anything when there were people already there. The Vikings and Orientals were in the Americas long before Columbus (but they would have to change the books).

Good point. But Columbus argued against the idea of a “New World.” He was convinced he’d reached Asia.

Brilliant!

So he was actually looking for a shorter route to the playground?

It doesn’t count until he discovers it.

Little Christopher didn’t claim to find the playground. He claimed that he found a shorter route to the same playground.

and since I “discovered” it, you’ll hafta leave, cuz it’s mine now!

It looks like he is showing that little girl his playground.

The ONLY thing Christopher “Wrong way” Columbus (aka, The World’s Worst Sailor) discovered was how to get lost on the way to India! Nuff said.

As dumb as everyone thinks Chris was, he was at least smarter than most of the Europeans who thought the world was flat.

Chris has spent to much time on the merry-go-round.

But the earth isn’t flat. The slide sticks up.

But did he have a flag? The rules say you have to have a flag to lay claim to a “new discovery”! The Caribs didn’t have a flag, so if Columbus had a flag, the land was there for the taking.

This is funny. I’d been questioning Columbus Day since the 3rd-4th grade.

The very reason I never celebrate “Columbus Day”.

Go back to Spain, my man.
