The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 15, 2015

And it makes you want to kick the bucket.

But Doc, that’s not why dear Lisa, dear Lisa sent me.

His last patient was a little horse…

He tried to lead him to water, too..but he couldn’t make him drink.

You can bring a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead.

It’s on his bucket list.If the water is for drinking, remember to go uphill to get it.Jack’s been on the thrown down here.

If you use warm water then you’ll be hot.

That joike is pail-iolithic

He thought the doctor would make him [a] well.

Yeah, your problem could spill over; you better get a handle on it.

He’s actually seeing the doctor because he has a embarrassing leakage problem. But just a little one…

That diagnosis should have galvanized him, but all he’s going to do is bail and just make a oaken effort. He’s such a dip. Pour thing. .(And for your information, it’s bouquet.)

Before this visit, the pail did not have a handle on his problem. It’s good that the doc got to the bottom of the problem. But he did not fill him with hope.

I’ll bet the bill will be more than a drop in the bucket!

And make sure the water is high in iron.

Hmm…the Doc must be a paileontologist.

While this is supposed to be read with the pail’s comments occurring between the doctor’s two quotes, I actually find it funner if the “Why, doctor?” comes last (similar to a Pearls Before Swine strip where the characters lament the bad pun)

Sounds like he better start making a list of all the things he ever wanted to do..

He’s one guy you don’t want to kick!

Groan :)
