The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 12, 2019

No, I think Moses made the Egyptian rival lose.

So, that’s how Mark Spitz won those seven gold medals!

The Pharaoh’s chariots are just behind getting ready for their race!

That wasn’t kosher.

It’s an old theme. Of course, Jesus won because he just ran across the water. Didn’t even have to wait to part it.

Let my people swim!

Hey, that’s not phar-oll!

The home pool was called the “Red Sea”.

It only works for freestyle. Otherwise you’re not doing the right stroke.

They’ve come to a parting of the waves!

Actually, touching the bottom of the pool immediately disqualifies the swimmer.

Oh… so this explains that weird recurring dream where I go to the pool, it’s almost drained, and I’m trying to swim in about 10" of water.

Well, that’s taking the ‘swim’ out the swim meet.

BTW, his regular job is working for the Patriot’s Skunkworks Department.

That home-teamer in the dry lane seems not to understand what’s going on. Shoulda shown up more often at practice, I’m thinking.

I hope you don’t mind, I’m printing this one out. Dad’ll get a kick out of this one.

Did Moses apply for permission to do that, or did he part the red tape?

Won’t work for the back-stroke event.

Hydrophobic.

At least he didn’t turn the water to blood.

I thought it was gonna say he was the best lifeguard…

Later ruled illegal.

Where’d he get that liner? How does he get in the mood without thousands of Egyptians chasing him? His robe looks too hot to wear in a warm pool room considering the high dew point. If the kids vaccinations aren’t up to date, they may get an infection from his staph.

Ah, the old “Divide and Conquer” maneuver…
