The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 27, 2024

Wouldn’t the baby at the table claim that honor???!!!

The real Houdini didn’t live very long.

If that’s Houdini in the top hat, then how is he younger than the baby at the table?

After Mother locked him in his room, his escape artist skills were honed to perfection!

Is Paula Poundstone his sister?

Mom should give him a Sugar Smack!

This is one where, after ten minutes or so of thought and another ten minutes of sober reflection, I realize that sometimes I spend too much time trying to figure out the comics.

Pop Tarts weren’t around when Harry was a kid!

If you’re the youngest of five, this isn’t far off the mark.

I crave Poptarts, but keep forgetting to put them on my grocery list. Probably a good idea.

No one else in the family would ever try to do something like that.

He was warned: "Erik, that would not be Weisz of you to do that.

And once again Scott Hillburn draws an odd picture, adds some words, and chuckles diabolically as he thinks about his readers trying to “get it” when there’s nothing to get.

I think the baby‘s diaper needs a presto-chango.

This comic is very lame and uninspired today.

I think they come eight to a box, so three kids will get two . . .

He’s clearly not the youngest, and I’m clearly not getting the joke.

None of this makes sense and so far everyone agrees

Maybe he’s going to give the others something they like? They don’t seem too happy with what they have…. I dunno….

He always was so dramatic about things..

Mom says don’t you dare bring that Copperfield kid over again.

Boy! We don’t have a toaster with that many slots … just put them in the oven, at 425 degrees, for 4 hours to be sure they’re completely cooked and healthy.

If Houdini was the youngest, he is making an appearance before he was born. I wonder how he did that…

I’m confused about everything except wanting Pop Tarts! :)

Being the youngest of 6 kids I get the joke but we never had pop tarts, it was eat whatever mom made cheaply but we were always well fed with healthy choices

After Harry made the Pop Tarts disappear, his big brothers tried to drown him in the bath tub. That was Harry’s first escape act.

That is quite the feat, considering Pop Tarts did not even hit the market until 1964!

Looks more like the oldest! Lol
