The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 24, 2018

These must be fruit bats (from the picture on the wall).

Very clever, but what’s he doing with the newspaper? Shouldn’t it be a radio??

He never takes her to their old hangouts anymore.

Well, at least she doesn’t have to look at his underwear…

Okay, but wait until it’s nighttime first.

Shouldn’t they be upside down?

She’s finally realized that he’s nothing but a pipsqueak.

Guess he didn’t see that coming. It is interesting that she has glasses, and he appears to be reading the paper.

The old bat.

Really? No one?

That’s a pretty nice looking belfry they’re in. Wouldn’t she want to hear other bats?

She wants to go like a bat out of (you know)

Is there an echo in here?

“Honey, the commissioner called. He needs you to go downtown and help with the BAT signal again.”

“I just don’t give a guano any more.”

If they are fruit bats (“flying foxes”), they are diurnal. As for hanging upside down, the cartoon is printed upside down. The “buildings” out the window are really stalactites (except that fruit bats roost in trees at night).

Up till now he’d just been winging it.

Most bats can see, those with echolocation see with sound. The Future Predator of the tv series Primeval - Horrat for horror and bat, has no eyes and its echolocation is hooked up to its optical thalamus so it sees sound.
