The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 25, 2025

Snicker. You can see his underwear.

Flame off!

Definitely has his pants on fire. I wouldn’t believe a word he says!

No room in the smoking section

I’ll bet the flaming man’s mate wears hot pants!

Chill out, dude.

But I don’t have any firearms… ah… nevermind.

He needs a cooling off period.

Well that is just Fantastic!

Okay, he’s on fire, so he has “fire arms”, that’s obvious. But what’s the number 4 on his back?

Burger King offered him a job as a line cook. (Flame broiled burgers)

Lame.

I was just going to get a take and bake pizza anyway.

Groan. No prob: “Flame off!”

This thing is so odd that it’s nearly clobberin’ time…..

Nice to see that he wore his blazer.

Notice how clever Hilburn is to obviate the firearms gag with the hyphenation. Where’s Captain Obvious?

Oooooo, burn.

Finally someone who actually understands what the 2nd Amendment actually means.

But, sir, I’m your new cook. On my off time, I’ll warm up your outhouse seats in cold weather.

No fire-arms. No fire-legs. No fire-head. No fire-body.

Well, that’s a cold bucket of water.

They can’t stand the heat so they want him out of their kitchen.

It occurs to me to wonder if he has a firedog as a pet.

Letting him in the restaurant would be like letting a Hulk in a china shop.

No shirt, no shoes, and in this case no hot arms allowed.

he had a burning desire to stop by luigi’s…

It’s Frankenstein’s favorite cafe.

thats why I carry a weapon instead

Mario would allow it!
