The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 19, 2025

He was full of sweetness.

If he was cremated, wouldn’t he be a chocolate bar now?

But when the remains will be spread I suppose there will be a lot of kids as attendees…

Gone to Piñata paradise!

Lost at the river Sticks. (oK, rhymes with Styx)

They’re crying knowing one of them is next!

By the bag or by the box,

Your best candy buy is Brach’s.

Very old commercial jingle

What’s really hurtful is they know it was a hit job

Is the urn painted or can you see his actual innards?

It was a horrible death , Hung from a tree branch than beaten with a stick until he fell to the ground to be ripped apart ! Oh the agony !

More proof that candy is dandy.

RIP. Rest In Pieces.

He never did get his diabetes under control.

Pinata. Tale of the donkey.

Just put him on my desk. He won’t be there long…

He will be missed…. except that he wasn’t. Apparently.

It was a smashing funeral.

There’s a silver lining to this tragedy. They won’t have to buy candy for Halloween.

Another one goes on the mantel …..RIP

“I know it’s hard, Candy, but we’ll get through this.”

Funeral parlor in the town I grew up in that I’ve been to too many times has a couple lounge areas with fireplaces outside the viewing area where lots of different bowls of individually wrapped hard candies (including root beer) were available for the mourners.

Now I know where they got all the candies

I guess he spilled his guts on the R U Sirius (see Brewster’s Rocket from two days ago).

I thought it was a do it yourself cremation once they light the fireplace.

N*SYNC memorial song … “It might sound crazy, but it ain’t no lie: Brach’s combines fun treats and pop music.” Many urned to attend the memorial, but few were chosen.

Another victim of the family curse.

This is what happens when you go to a party and get smashed.

And those logs in the fireplace was instrumental in his demise.

Huh. A little dark, maybe?

This one made me laugh out loud. Fun fact: In the window, you can see a sign for Brachs. Brachs is a famous candy company.

Best sign I saw while traveling through West Texas… “Drive-Thru Piñatas”.

That picture on the wall, right side of the fireplace, looks like a unicorn udder.

this one really cracked me up…

☺

Is that an urn or a candy jar?
