The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 24, 2025

First you need real hard wood

They come from China, Pinocchio.

They start from board meetings!

When he gets to the nailing part, the cartoon censor will appear

And a little pinch of sawdust.

Scott’s nailed it today.

He also needs to know that square pegs do not fit in round holes, so he should think about becoming a well-rounded person.

Geppetto miter well skip the explanation and show him how.

Was Pinocchio constructed of Pin-Oak-io?

FIRST WE TELL U A BOUT GETTING WOOD!

All this “knotty talk”

So many ways for me to get kicked off gocomics….must restrain myself…

…and that’s where whittle boys come from.

‘And the Dowels and the Seams, And the Saw up above, and a thing called Dove………Tail fit.’

LOL!

“ When a mommy and daddy pine for each other…”

I’m hearing him in a “Swedish Chef” accent.

LOL!

This is a “poplar” subject.

Looks like Geppetto’s got wood.

Eh? Well, that’s man’s half of it, son, a woman is also necessary.

Unlike Pinocchio, Geppetto can lie about this story.

All I can think of is splinters…Yikes!

Don’t listen to anything he says. He’s just screwin’ with ya.

Well, there are screws involved…

Wouldn’t it be the boards and the screws?

would the kid like to hear about that? woody? woody…?

☺

I guess that WOOD be the best place to start.
