The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 02, 2011

Guess he has onion breath…

I was thinking carrot juice, but my mind is perpetually in the gutter.

But I don’t see any peanuts.

All three of you would blend nicely in a soup.

The placement of the onion’s other hand tells the tale — and the carrot doused him with her wine. The coloring doesn’t make it real clear.

LOL!

It would be crude to mention her time with the banana and cucumber

His little fling with the onion was meant to be no strings attached.

He knew if he wanted more, she’d only make him cry.

Now he’ll find himself rootless, and probably lose half his celery in the divorce settlement, besides.

This whole thing brings tears to my eyes.

Carrot finally got to the root of his deception. Their story has many layers, each more tear-worthy than the one before.

Every breath you take……………

Stop stalking her.

Yes, be careful about getting on the bad side of a carrot. Sort of like the old saying about the stick and the carrot. Maybe he wants to put his stick in the carrot… you think? LOL No chance of that happening now it looks like. The onion seems pretty happy, wonder if it has to do with where her hand is?

Some vegetable delight!

The banana and the onion are most appealing.

I think the problems in their relationship have deep roots.

And did you notice, the cucumber is getting “pickled”?And the Apple is in the “cider”

The seductiveness of the onion was irresistable, as she peeled off layer after layer. Celery didn’t stand a chance.

Looks like a veggie/fruit mixer. Can you DO that???? I mean talk about genetically modified!

Menage a mirepoix.

I guess marriage is out of the question. Perhaps just marination?

This isn’t right. In my newspaper the onion had bite marks on it.

Thanks comicsgeniousguy, I thought I was losing what is left of my tiny mind!

Great puns today, thanks all. ;-)

It’s a mixer the kids these days call a “Splash” (ref V8) and the whole thing should get exposed on the “Okra Winfree” show.

No spinach? Where’s the spinach? Olive get in here!

The newspaper version had a bite or 2 taken out of the onion! Made more sense that way.
