The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 22, 2025

But where is he going to take you?

Either way, the meter’s running.

Tis the tax season

The Taxi company has a skeleton crew, no bones about it!

This cabbie doesn’t mind if you refuse to buckle your seat belt. He’ll even let you smoke if that’s your thing.

What do you mean “nice costume”?

Actually it’s a very unreliable company. For some reason, the engines are always dying on them.

Over the river in Charon’s car

To Hades a ride they share

He knows the way

And him they pay

With the coins in their mouths as fare …

Seeing the fare is going to kill they.

Sorry, one way trips only.

You can be certain of your destination when you ride with death in a taxi.

You know he will expect a hell of a tip!

I rode in a taxi decades ago in Juarez and thought I was going to die

He only drives to dead ends.

Get in for a chance to win!

My last comic and my first LOL.

Styx and Stone

May haul my bones

But Charon will never hurt me

spelling is so important

Ooh! A two-fer!

When he picks up an attractive girl, it might be a Death Cab For Cutie.

The Death Cab is looking for Cutie, and that ain’t you, dude.

No, that’s death and TAXES!

I’ll pass on the taxi. I’m not ready…

Jim Jarmusch cut this segment from Night On Earth.

So he’s doubly certain. Is that a phrase? Vague memory bells are ringing…

I can picture a young Danny DeVito swapping insults with Death and Andy Kaufman

Well, Inflation seems to be the third runner up.

Would it kill you to take the bus?

The taxes are hell to pay.

Old GR has a lot of help. Most taxi rides take a few years off your life.

or death in taxis!

getting to their destination is gonna be like hell on wheels…

The GPS is pre-programmed to guide you to all the best cemeteries.

With my job and traveling I rode in many old beat-up cars they called Limousines!

Groannn :-)
