The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 21, 2025

Looks like a frame up to me!

This killing is a Miró image of the last one.

This joke is rather hockney’d.

Bring in the great French detective Georges Seurat, he can connect the dots.

“How Pablo can this guy go? He’s got a sense of humor, though. Look … it’s another Picasso ‘Harlequin’! We’ll nab this amateur — he’s the rudest cubist I’ve ever seen.”

Were they killed for the Monet?

@Dirty Dragon – The French detective would be no help. He’d only stare at the body and say: “Que Seurat, Seurat”.

They will have to canvas the area for suspects!

very original and creative – a masterpiece.

If next victim is die from Van Gough’s Yellow House then it certainly handwork of steenky Giallo thriller killer!

Imagine what a different strip it would be if the punchline were “Looks like we have the makings of a CEREAL killer.”

This is not a lead pipe (in the kitchen, used by Professor Plumb).

I Louvre a good pun.

Making an impressionist on the detective.

Q: How does a surreal dog bark?

A: Arp, Arp, Arp

I know Art when I see it, and that ain’t him!

Not to be confused with the Cereal Killer.

“Velvet Buzzsaw” is a great horror/comedy movie about mysterious killings in the glamorous LA art world.

If I had a million dollars, Well, I’d buy you some art – A Picasso or a Garfunkel

They did this for Monet to buy Degas to make the van Gogh…

Serial killer.

Is that a Jackson Pollack or did he use a scatter gun too?

Musically, it would have been a Surrealistic Pillow from Jefferson Airplane

What a waste of a good Picasso.

He’s a killer artist.

Oh, no! That’s my father lying there on the floor! Dada!

If he’d been butchered in a narrow side street, it would have been an alley gory.

It’s pretty clear by now which daily strip attracts the most fans of puns.

Looks like they had a Dali of a Time.

An exquisite corpse.

It’s a good thing their forensic lab is state-of-the-art.

Well, it’s better than a Bananna

When apprehended, the suspect claimed he was FRAMED!

Picasso wasn’t a surrealist.

Again at the Battle Creek, Michigan art museum, sponsored by Raisin Bran.

GROAN. But a classy one.

The killer has Dada issues.

It’s pretty obvious that Art did it. He was using art for Art’s sake.

about to Escher in a whole new era of killings

ba dum tss

Everybody is always talking about finding the cereal killer, but wouldn’t a cereal killer really be a lack of milk? If you wanted to kill cereal you’d have to start with the cows, then move on to the nuts and the soys, etc…

They started out by smothering their victims with a Surrealistic Pillow — pretty slick of ’em!

they’ll probably find out that the perpetrator was some kahlo youth…

That is just flagrant punning. No ice cream for any of you!
