The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 20, 2021

“Hannibal” is one letter away from “cannibal”

The only kid whose school lunch included fava beans and a nice grape juice.

Jeffrey Dahmer strikes again.

Or “Soylent Green: The Early Years”.

We he said “Give me some skin” he was not kidding!

Don’t do me no Favas.

Wait until his Uncle Sweeney comes to visit.

Hannibal Lecter attention to detail would put Sherlock Holmes to shame.

Ted Levine creeps me out : > ]

He had great taste.

I rarely type “LOL” because it is overdone and I won’t use it if I didn’t really laugh. But – LOL! Another Scott Hilburn gem!

“Don’t read me”

Well hello Clarice !

Gee, I wonder what’s eating them.

Judging by media reports of crazed killers, he would have been the bullied rather than the bully.

Hey kid! Get in this brown paper bag.

In addition to spelling and punctuation, line breaks are important. For example, consider the bumper sticker

LOVE PEOPLE

COOK THEM TASTY FOOD!

and how you get an entirely different vibe if you try to save horizontal space by breaking that 2nd line into 2 parts:

LOVE PEOPLE

COOK THEM

TASTY FOOD!

“Guess who’s coming to dinner…?”
