The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for June 13, 2020

You need an arms dealer.

Farewell to arms!!

The morgue…? Did you check the armory…?

“Well, grab a shovel and go to the cemetery, come on. And that the arms are fresh.”

disembodiment can be so dispiriting…

Experiencing a lack of body parts? You need the new Clone-O-Matic. The choice of 9 out of 10 Mad Scientists.

Look ma, no hands!

Good one today!

Not an out-of-bodice experience?

At least Igor didn’t grab Abby Normal’s brain :-)

This, began grave digging….

The right to bear arms…

Go to the grocery store and get an Arm and Hammer?

You have to hand it to him!

He needs an arm-y.

Wouldn’t it be Igor that suffered the out of bodies experience?

Find an arms dealer.

I could lend you a hand, but I don’t have any spare arms around here.

Arma virumque cano.

I don’t think he trusts Igor. Just a hunch.

And a near-life experience.

Probably no need for a morgue during a pandemic. Just a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Exactly none of this was in the book Frankenstein.

Give that guy a great big hand!

’E just wants to ensure the monster is ’armless.

Order online from Armazon.com.

More he was out on a limb (or out of)

Should be a given – the right to bear arms.

How did the good Doctor get Frankie’s entire body in the same stage of decomp? His parts should be various shades of color, as people are, and each part should be decomposing at a different rate. It must be some perservative he put into the tissue to keep it viable until he could assemble the whole thing…a pickling agent for monster assembly. YES, I thought about that, now you have too!

Still not as bad as that time that all the morgue employees got drunk until the entire place was legless.

Sorry, Master, many other mad scientists were out to get the same resources. It was a real arms race.

Most Igors on the Discworld like to keep a spare arm or two within reach (I was going to write “handy”) all the time.

I wonder where the stereotype of Frankenstein(‘s monster) being green comes from. Some of the early movies, maybe? I had to read the book for school, and I’m pretty sure there was no mention of his skin color… just that he was apparently large and horrifying, because strangers were all scared of him.
