The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 26, 2025

That’s going to upset some children.

The revelation of Big Bird is pretty funny.

Smokey was a drawing. Wouldn’t he be a pencil outline? Otherwise it’s a clever strip.

And it looks like the late, lamented and banned Joe Camel in the foreground.

Anything left of Arnold Ziffel, the Green Acres pig? And I wonder what the skeleton of Spot, the Munsters pet, looks like.

Remember the uproar that the Interior Dept. caused by the Smokey the Bear redesign a few years ago, showing Smokey bare chested and no longer wearing a vest!!!!

Soon we they add “Bones” McCoy from Star Trek?

what is the aflac, top left?

Who’s the one with sunglasses and a cigarette?

There’s another “bear” that BJ would remember.

someone please explain the skull with a cigarette and sunglasses…

The bones of some good TV here.

Hopefully there’s an Emu on the way.

Where is Rin Tin Tin and Gentle Ben? King Kong is in the parking lot.

Tv sure produces some memorable charters….make no bones about that!

As a kid I read a book about Bushman the Ape and thought he still lived at the zoo. A week later I saw his stuffed body at the natural history museum and was devastated

Where’s Red’s skeleton?

Bucky Beaver from Ipana?? (Brush-a, brush-a, etc.)

I bet Caroll Spinney’s relatives will have a hissy fit when they see this comic.

gross

Yes, Smoky (proper spelling) should not be included. Scott Hilburn doesn’t always think out his humor.

Ooooh, I see Joe Camel down in front!

Dino from the Flintstones is missing!

I’ve been wondering what happened to that irritating Aflac duck. Poor Gilbert Gottfried was fired, then died.

Who do you think the skull with the eyeglasses belongs to?

Is there a Hanna Barbera wing?

Where’s Bandit from Jonny Quest?

Skeleton sporting sunglasses and smoking, Joe Camel

Is that Joe Camel, center bottom? I thought he was taller.

They cremated Barney cause no one wants to see that.

Forget arguing about Smokey the Bear… the Big Bird skeleton was brilliant.

Where’s the Beaver? I guess Ward must have grounded him. He was always so hard on the Beaver.

Ooh, wow, this is really dark humor! But I am chuckling and smiling.

Joe Camel of course, died of cancer…

Ok, I’ll bite. What’s AFLAC?

I just realized that Scott left out the skeleton of Charlie the Tuna! What happened to Catalina, the mermaid on the Chicken of the Sea commercials? What oversights! Tsk, tsk.
