The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 25, 2021

Oil can…oil can

If all else fails, we may have to use the cutting torch!!

No need for an anesthesiologist.

They don’t do many of these operations so I hope he’s not too rusty.

I see he’s flat-lining.

Is this a cardiac procedure?

Is this pre-Dorothy or post?

That can opener better be made by Black and Decker®.

Of course he’s flat-lining. He has no heart. You don’t need a can opener to realize that.

At the end of this open can surgery “Welding torch”.

The first thing you have to do is start an IV drip of WD-40…

Doc, this is a modern version. Slip the sheet and use the pull tab.

Modern method is to use a plasma cutter!

Dr Oz, you are needed in surgery

tin man had to galvanize himself for this operation…

heart transplant?

Man, poor Hymie hasn’t aged well.

Hey, Dave!! Shouldn’t R2D2, C3PO and BB8 be the ones doing the surgery?

Heart surgeon?

But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man

That he didn’t, didn’t already have

And cause never was the reason for the evening

Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

Be careful around his bolt and nuts or he won’t be able to screw any more.

I’m guessing this isn’t for heart surgery…

Have a heart.

This is a job for, “Marcus Welder, M.D.”

He expired…

He’s not asleep, he’s just rusting his eyes.

Maybe tin snips he is the Tin Man!

He didn’t have a heart to tell he didn’t have a heart.

Keep him away from the MRI

Heart transplant?

He’s clearly having heart surgery, but of course the heart he got from the Wizard isn’t subject to the same physical ailments as our human hearts. My diagnosis is that he’s suffering from a failed romance. Hope the doctor is up to the challenge of fixing a broken heart.

OK, doctor, this one will test your mettle.

We call it a plunger in Wisconsin.

It took twenty-five rivets to close him up.

So did the TinMan have a dipstick or a sight glass?

He has a DNR—you can not do that!

And two pints of 10w.
