The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 02, 2020

The air b-bites shrewdly; it is very c-c-cold.

No, b-believe me, ’tis VERY c-c-cold; the wind is n-n-northerly.

He must be performing in a remote Alaskan Hamlet.

Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous cold or to take arms against a sea of orcas.

Shouldn’t it be “A-a-a-las p-p-p-o-o-o-r Y-y-yo-rick”?

looks like it’s the winter of his discontent…

Something is rotten in the state of Greenland.

Well, he’s got the “shakes” part right.

Reminds me of the latest bad guy in the Dick Tracy comic! (Shaky)!

Hilburn is a fellow of infinite jest…

The Two Gentlemen of Antarctica

Get thee to a sauna.

Mel Tillis on an arctic expedition?

I knew him well, that is till the maggots and mealworms got to him. Dr. G.

Well, it at least explains how Shakespeare got his name.
